Do more late shifts 1330 - 2200hrs, like those hors don't feel too bad after doing them. Some earlies 0700 - 1530, they wipe me out (have to have a nanna nap), even more so after working a late than an early, just to old to cope with those I guess. I actually find I am a lot more physically and mentally tired nursing than I ever was when I worked in an office, would get physically tired from sitting all day long, but so mentally stimulated couldn't sleep.
I've worked as an AIN since I was 21, and late/earlies have always killed me, although I did find that when you were busy in the mornings the adrenaline would carry you through.
