I have questions for anyone that does shift work or has in the past. I'm a casual, working in Healthcare. I work full time hours because my position is always needed.
So far, I'm sticking to evening shifts 3-11pm and it has been ok, though some days are hard to wake up after taking Seroquel at 11:30pm the night before. Would I really be messing myself up if I did 16 hour shifts, (3pm-7am) on occasion (not regularly)?
How have you adjusted to a bipolar diagnosis and your shift work? Are there any tips you might have for me or advice?
