Hi, I've been an RN for 5 years, working full time on nights for the last 3+ years. I've accepted a day shift position and I'm completely stressed out. My whole life is set to a night shift schedule. My husband works 2nd shift so we basically just stay on a night shift sleep routine even on our days off (we don't have any children yet obviously). I feel my best when I'm at work. I've never really had issues being up all night or sleeping during the day. I've also never been a morning person. So I'm just looking for any advice on how to best transition from days to nights. Or if I should even do it? My hopes are that eventually my body will adjust to a day time schedule, but I've often heard people say " I just can't work nights, I never could get adjusted to it" and so on. And I worry this might be me with day shift since nights feel so normal to me.
