Is this oversleeping?

I started my first job at LTC as a staff RN a few weeks ago on the night shift. At first I was able to go home at around 8:30 take a shower and go to bed around 8:50 and sleep around 9:30-10am. I would wake up around 5-6PM work out a bit, eat, washup, enjoy some random things, then go to work. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I would wake up at 4PM and work my second job from 5PM to 8PM and not work out those two days.

However recently, I get home around the same time but I wake up around 7-8pm now and I seriously only have enough time to wash up and eat. Most of the time I sleep around the same time but whats bringing forth this increased sleep? I'm getting all irritated that it eats into whatever free time I have left thanks to this job.

Is something wrong with me?

    nothing is wrong. ive worked nights now for a year and i stopped beating myself up about my schedule. ive realized that no matter what its not normal for people to sleep during the day, and now i sleep when i sleep and work when i work. I do what i can when i can and just have to accept that. if i want to work out at 3am i will, i eat healthy and exercise when i can and it has worked for me. i go grocery shopping right after work and pay bills on my day off. sometimes all i do is sleep and it used to really bother me but now i say "its my body's way of saying i needed it". everyone does there own thing to get by on nights but really you just have to lsten to your body. good luck
