Can anyone please tell what is US Shift timings?
I have got allocated to a US based project, so I need to know the US shift timings
I've never worked in a US shift schedule (9 PM - 5 AM IST) before, but my company is considering alternating shifts starting next month. The proposed schedule would involve working 2 weeks on US hours and 2 weeks on regular Indian hours. Has anyone had experience with such a rotating shift pattern? What challenges can I expect, and is this setup feasible?
Hi, I have worked in Canada-MST shift (10 PM to 6 AM) somewhat similar to yours, here are insights from my experience:
I worked from 6pm-3am. It was definitely peaceful once I made a routine, but I wouldn't suggest rotational shifts as that would be super hard to do
Hi @PatraniMacchi I am soon going to join a night shift duty from 6:30pm-2:30am in BLR.
Really need your insights on how the routine works. Some background here: I am a female living alone in a 1BHK house. My residency area gets quiet at night, so safety is one of my concerns. But otherwise also, I've never lived alone my entire life. Really nervous about this stint. Pls share your tips n tricks on how to maintain the sleep cycle,eating cycle,etc.
Yes, I have worked like this for 2.5 years. Your sleep scheduled will get fu***ed every alternate week.
When you move from night to morning shift, your weekoff is reduced by 8-12 hours. When you move from Indian to night shift, your weekoff is extended by 8-12 hours.
Staying alone is advisable as you don't want to get disturbed in your sleep(by parents, roommates, etc). Always sleep in a dark room, helps to reduce the staring in eyes.
Try stitching to another company where you have only day shifts.
Life will become a living nightmare to the point where I was not able to differentiate between dream or reality .This was full night shift till 8AM , if u switch it up 2 weeks , it is more painful as once ur body adapts to night shift, u will have to do morning shift , so better run with ur life
Yeah, I had worked long back. Something like 9 pm - 4 am schedule. It is horrible thing to have. It completely wrecks up the life. Those guys should do that for 2-3 months alternating, not 2 weeks. Because 21 days is the period to form a new habit and the moment you start to get into a bit of schedule, it gets changed!! It is like a punishment.

Feeling my health go wild because my shift changes every month for a 24x7 model. Curious to know how everyone else is dealing
Hello everyone
Recently, I have been feeling exhausted and work pressure. Unable to do things which was easy for me. I'm planning to resign and take a break from work for 3 months, work on my health and do some self study. Is this sens...
Should I take up a job offer in which every second month involves night shift (11 pm to 7 am)? And other shifts are from 7 am and 3 pm. Too much rotation actually PLUS weekend working too sometimes, weekly off on weekdays.
If you absolutely don’t have a choice, then go ahead. Otherwise avoid this. This will f up your mental and physi...
