What are your experiences working overnight? (hexbear.net)

Interviewing for a job where I'd either be working 11pm-9am four nights a week or one 14 hour day and two 10 hour days or something.

My mom is very skeptical about the overnight, and I'm aware there are health risks, but if they offer it I don't think I've got much choice as I am currently sans job. I'm already a bit of a night owl, is it manageable if I take precautions?

I did 3-4 nights a week anywhere between 6 pm and 6 am (til the job was done, basically) for like 4 years in my early to mid 20s. It was fine other than the one semester I took a morning class that met twice a week. I remember basically nothing from that semester, wasn't sleeping for more than 4 hours at a time except on weekends sometimes.

I'm still babyfaced and everyone seems to assume I'm somewhere between 18 and 22 so idk.

I'd get black out curtains and a sleep mask to make sleeping in the day easier but other than that I've got no complaints.
