Wow, Phoenix, as soon as I saw your title, I knew I'd have something to say ....

Proceed with caution. Exceptional caution. This is advice coming from someone who's not an overly-cautious or regimented person in terms of my BP. But this is one thing I know for sure. Those kinds of overnight shifts mess with my head big time. BIG TIME.

I'm currently working overnight (usually twice a week). I'd worked one about.. a year ago, but that one was a normal stretch of shift time. It still messed badly with me and I had to go to days. (I'm only working the overnight now because it's all there is.) Anyhow, I've got BPII. Solidly II. But when I'm working overnights, I hallucinate sound, visual and motion. Which I normally don't. In addition to being exceptionally spaced out and vaguely light-headed and nauseated the rest of the time. I can be perfectly wide-awake all night. Perhaps a bit too much, because by the time I get home, I'm downright wired. And quite unpleasant. Overall though, I'm more prone to depression, when I even know what's going on. And... how to describe? Fragile? Unstable? Like at any given moment, I might lose it altogether.

My life is quite stressful outside of work , but, like your situation, the work itself is simple (at least on this jobsite). The simplicity of the work doesn't seem to help at all... it's the timing/hours that make a mess of me.

Which is not to say that you shouldn't do it. People are different after all. The thing that makes me nervous for you is that it involves a move. It's the kind of thing it really would be best to be able to "try out". It's quite widely held to be a BP no-no (my psych in full agreement, with the notes to back it up, lol).
