Hi,
I have worked 24/7 shifts for 21 years and, at the age of 45, am considering looking for a job that is 9-5 mon-Fri as I think I'm done with shift work. Speaking to a lot of colleagues that have stopped working shifts, they all report a big improvement, but none of them are triathletes. I was hoping there might be some folks on this forum that have transitioned from 24/7 to 9-5 and can let me if it was an improvement or not. I know some people like shift work, but I can't help but think that getting a regular 8hrs sleep at the same time every night would be a big boost for recovery compared to broken sleep which is all over the place.
Many Thanks,
Tubs
