Still tough, I average like 5 hrs of sleep. Even if you're exhausted, your body just doesn't want to sleep in the day. So you wind up being some kind of witch doctor, where you have to perform this bizarre ritual with sage smoke and a sacrifice with a bone knife... Sometimes it works, sometimes you summon Caligula. I didn't sleep that day, but my neighbors no longer pester me about mowing the lawn at 7 AM.
There's people (like me) who are just wired like night owls. I can sleep during the day no problem. It's just sad that the society expects most people to be "morning people" and just randomly expects some to be able to handle the night shifts, instead of helping people self-select.
I ended up staying up all day and sleeping from 6pm to 11pm, I was the manager so I changed my hours to start work when I wanted.
I guess I'm a normie now, I sleep midnight to 530 and work during the day now.
