I'm small too. I don't know how you lift something like that. I've worked 3rd shift before but it was in a hotel, so it wasn't that bad. And no, I wasn't working AT the hotel!!! tongue

I'd get home,go to sleep at about 9 a.m,wake up at 4 p.m,go to a restaurant ,and argue with the cook because he didn't want to cook me breakfast.I'M LIKE....''Come on man,make me some scrambled eggs.I just woke up.''

Totally messed up sleeping patterns,and personally,I wouldn't do it again.handshake

He works nights 9 to 7 in the morning, she works 9 to 5 in the afternoon.

I used to work nights. The money was good, and the customers were great. It only sucked in the winter (standing on the street corner is damn COLD in January)

Sometimes their wives would get upset, but who cares about them, right?

Maybe you could try some lined drapes to help block out some of the light. I think you can also get shades that help block out some of the light. comfort
