Night shift is a great place to be a new Medic. You get to jump calls for 24 hr units, run weird, exciting calls, and make (hopefully) most of your “new medic mistakes” while everyone else is sleeping. Also a great opportunity for proper shenanigans...good times

Really good overnight tip is to keep to your schedule even when you're off duty. It's way healthier for you. Deli sandwiches are great, but contain tons of salt. Not everything needs ketchup. And unless you don't have a choice, such as those that are stuck out on the streets all night, bring your own bedding. It gives you a sense of home and just might make the plastic hard-ass bed feel a little bit more comfy.

The thing I found about working nights is that the common conception from the day walkers is that you sleep in a fire house in between the "2" calls you do at night. No matter how often I explained to my family that I'm up all night even if I'm just waiting on a corner for the next call they still act surprised or upset when I fall asleep at the wheel at 2pm picking them up from school.

Hey buddy, I work as an EMT 12 hours nights and it has definitely took a toll on my sleeping schedule and just life basically. I gotten used to it and there are definitely pros and cons. What I like is being able to drive and there are no traffic and people in the streets. Great video.

Awesome video Randy love the channel btw man. As far as the 12 hour overnights go I've only been doing them for 2 years but for the most part I've found somewhat of a balance. I normally get tired around 12-3am but I try my best to stay up so that I can fall asleep easier when I get home. Also cool bag I need to get me one of those!

I have worked every kind of shift in many different places. It's all about your partner(s). They will make or break your sanity. That being said, I think nights is a young person's shift. You can roll with it easier and you're more likely to adapt as a younger person.

I’ve had my share of bad partners and the DREAD of coming to work was so stressful. Do you think the night tour is a young persons game more because they have less home responsibilities or because they just physically adapt better?? 🤔🤔.
