One of the best things I miss when working in shifts and having the night shift was hands down walking home from work when the whole city was basically asleep around you at like 4-5 am. In the summer we used to even go for night swims with the co-workers after our shifts, once we even went fishing. It was fun.
These days while it sounds like a good time and nostalgia has done it’s thing to my memories of that time, I’m too old for night shifts. I don’t think I could even stay awake past 11 pm anymore without having to recover for the rest of the week from it. Most of the things that made the night time excursions fun was the fact that I was still in my 20s and didn’t feel the effects of lack of sleep as easily as these days.
