Night Shift Newlywed...

Hello,

I work in an ED, and have just recently finished my day shift orientation. I also got married about a month ago, so we were just now getting used to my day shift schedule. I now will start orienting to nights, and will stay on nightshift post-orientation.

I am very nervous about how to shift around my husband's, and my own schedule in order to spend quality time together. I know plenty of people married, and unmarried adjust and eventually enjoy night shift, however I have never worked one so I just don't know what to expect. Does anyone have any suggestions about ways to spend time together, or just night shift advice in general? Thanks! : )

    Have your husband plan on coming home for a nooner. :laugh:

    Kidding aside, we just planned date nights for my weekends off, cooked dinner together, sometimes met for breakfast before he went to work, watched a movie or just hung out together at home before I'd lie down for my pre-shift nap.... that kind of thing.

    Congratulations on the wedding!

    He comes home from work around 3, so I make sure I get up around then if possible. That's if I fall asleep immediately when I get home, which I try to do. We make my nights off a date night and if I work a weekend we may do a little morning snuggling and such.

    I always got home way after him when I worked days and I felt like I never saw him anyways as I was exhausted and ready for bed when I got home. So I almost feel like we see each other a little more now. I'm newly married as well.

    I will say, those first few weeks of night shift sucked because I did miss those few nights of sleeping together. But then I got used to it. He did too. We still sleep just as close on the nights we are together. I was afraid he would get used to sleeping without me.

    Hasn't happened.
