how to do 8 hour night shifts

[winter_green]

I just accepted a job offer in my specialty that is 8 hour shift x5/week and x4/week alternating since is. 9 not full time. The pay is good. I will have to relocate and they are helping me with relocation but is asking for at least one year commitment. The new community where I will be relocating is right on the coast, beautiful but majorly a retired community however it is highly a tourist attraction as well. My question and concern is, what if 3 months into working the 8 hrs night shifts, I can't tolerate it? I've always done nights before but only 12 hr shifts.

8 hour nights are far easier than 12s. Sleep until 3 or 4 pm, get up do what you have to and leave for work sometime after 10pm.

Chances are if you quit, the employer will want a partial refund of the relocation expenses. .9 is a good line, it gives you good recovery time or the chance to pick up that extra shift to work full time hours.

What is attracting you to this move?

Currently im jobless. I resigned from my last job because I was going to relocate to the East coast but plans changed after i reigned

Since you already work the night shift, it should be pretty easy to adjust to this schedule. I work three straight twelves and I can't do anything on those days except sleep, eat, and work. At least on eight hour shifts you could get off that morning and do everything you need to do then get some sleep or do everything in the afternoon before work. It's a lot better than being jobless, IMO.

Good luck!
