Thanks for the post from Sylvester Campbell
My husband just started working nights. It was a difficult adjustment for both of us. His biggest struggle was sleeping during the day and mine was sleeping alone at night in a big, dark house. It is scary to go from always having someone next to you to only having a pillow. I started jumping at every noise and hiding from every shadow. I felt like I was a little kid afraid of monsters under my bed. Finally, I insisted we get ALL HOME SECURITY. I just needed something to make me feel safe, since he was no longer there at night. After a few weeks passed, we started to adjust to our new routines. We actually see one another more than you might think. He brings me breakfast every morning on his way home and we still have dinner together and watch our favorite television show, before he heads out to work. It actually almost feels like we are dating again. After the initial shock of it all, we are enjoying our new schedules.
