I'm interviewing for a night shift position in a couple days and I've always worked 8-4 or 9-5. I'm a little scared of the idea though! I'm worried about seeing my family less because my sleep schedule will be totally different than theirs.

  So, night shift workers of the world, what has your experience been like and how do you manage being present in your family life?

The night shift for me was the purest form of hell. My favorite shift was the 2-10, 3-11.
