Best job schedule
I need your opinion on how I choose to work so that my sleep and eat schedule won't be badly ruined. I have two options:
-to work first shift (6:30am - 3:00pm) and to get up EVERYDAY except Sunday at 4:30am and struggle to go to bed early even through I hardly fall asleep before 9:30-10pm
-to work second shift (2:30pm - 9:30pm), get home at 10pm, eat a light meal at 10:15pm (some bananas), go to bed at 12am and try to sleep as long as I can even through in the summer the sun wakes me up too early.
What would you choose? Why?

Can an early bird person survive a 2nd shift job?
Hello @pepsi97. You will notice that I have moved your post back to the original discussion on this topic to allow for continued member engagement.
It sounds like you are still wrestling with this decision. Can I ask how long this commitment is intended for or if you are able to change shifts at a certain time if this isn't working for you?
I'm trying to figure out what schedule might be best because where I work we have a permanent schedule (for example my workmates who work the 3rd shift will always work during the night) as I find getting up at 4am everyday hard (in the 1st shift) but at the same time when it comes to 2nd shift I must eat my last meal at 10pm when I get home.
