I really don't mind working Sunday, I have only had 1 weekend off since New Year as I am contracted to help staff the unit 24/7. I do my share of nights, I didn't mind them when I was in my early 20's, used to get up early afternoon and sunbathe in the summer. I find now that my body is less tolerant of night shifts and certain functions do not work the same..

and I feel tired all of the time. Christmas day can be hard when your family are tucking into the turkey and you're at work running around like a headless chicken. Unfortunately we do not get double time for sundays, bank holidays and nights. The most we get paid for a shift is time and 2/3rds..
