You'll probably sleep until 1pm if you start at 3 Laughing

Take night lessons.

I prefer working mornings- if I don't have to be at work until later in the afternoon, I usually sleep in or laze around my apartment. But if I have to be up early, I'm up and can be productive at night.

However, afternoon and evening jobs are much more common than day shifts (at least when it comes to us teachers, anyway).

2-9PM or 3-10PM by far the best. Loved those hours. Took martial arts classes after too; they're still available at those time.

It's true. 3-9 is best. Only thing better is 4-8.

I'm really not a morning person, so I thought I would love working at night (1:30-8:30). But.... I'm really not a morning person; just because I have the morning off doesn't magically make me productive then. And I'm still just as tired after work as I was after my 9-5 job, so I'm not that much more productive then.

Next contract, I'll definitely look for morning hours.

Having to wake up in the morning has always presented me with problems. I worry about having to wake up so I can't sleep. There is nothing better than being able to wake up at noon or even 1 or 2, slide out of bed, have a coffee and walk to work. It's the lifestyle I love and never take for granted. The 4-10 or 3:30-9 or whatever. I've been on that schedule for some time now and there's no going back to those early morning alarms. I like to listen to the ajoshis screaming about potatoes and cabbage with a grin on my face as I roll over and cram my earplugs into my brain. Given the choice I will avoid morning shifts. I consider morning work a curse upon humankind. Shocked

Mornings are best, less stressful and then you have the rest of the day to work out at the gym.

If you were a guy, or a fat ugly girl, everyone here would be saying obnoxious garbage like "HEY SEARCH ENGINE" or "what, has it been two weeks already?"

Don't ever let anyone tell you boobs are a disadvantage.

That's because the search feature is useless.
