Done with it

Hi guys! I'm an overnight stocker at Walmart and I'm done with it. I would like to share the reasons with you so that if there are any of you thinking about applying to this job, can get their expectations straight. My biggest reason for applying to this job was I'm not a morning person. I just love nights more than mornings and I feel more comfortable and happy being awake at night until it's late. This made me have a hard time waking up early in the morning and going to my previous job. It also affected my performance and my overall happiness because it wasn't an enjoyable experience for me to wake up at 7:30 am and go to work for a job that I'm not a big fan of. I also love silence and I wanted to stay away from all the noise that comes from customers and associates during daytime shifts. Silence is the biggest reason I love nighttime more than daytime because I get to be alone sitting in silence without anyone bothering me. So with these personal traits of mine, I expected a job where I would be working at night time with my airpods on blasting country music and having the time of my life while I'm making ok money. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case for me. My whole life went upside down. My social life had shattered to pieces, my body was affected, and it definitely wasn't a job where I get to work by myself. My sleep schedule went nuts because as you know I'm working at night and sleeping in the morning and daytime. When I have a day off which is usually on the weekends, my buddies are kind enough to invite me to hiking which is one of our favorite hobbies. This happens during the daytime, when I'm supposed to sleep, so I'm a tired man in a hiking activity, which is just wrong and annoying for the others (rightfully so). So after a few times, I was like boys, sorry but I'm out. I'm just too tired to join y'all. Then I'm at home sleeping, instead of socializing with my buddies out in nature. As you can imagine that's not something that helps my mental health. Also, I don't know how would other overnighters would feel about this but daytime sleep is not the same as nighttime sleep. You just can't rest enough and that affects your body too. It's not good to feel tired most of the time during your shift. You just can't enjoy what you do and you can't perform at your best. Which also affects how your managers and associates look at you. In my case, I was extra unlucky because the people I work with have been doing this for at least 2 years. So they are much more experienced than me and they know how to cope with it. They passed the point where their performance is affected by lack of sleep or unbalanced sleep you know? So I'm not a good look in this situation. So I just decided that this is not for me and I need to leave before they fire my a^s. I just wanted to share this story with y'all because I thought my mistakes might help some of y'all.
