Snacks -- i worked permanent full time night shift for 8 months a while back - was a 6-11 shift i think. how much it sucks really depends on each individual. it didn't bother me so much because i'm a night owl. as long as i get one decent night a week, i can survive on maybe five hours sleep a night. i got into that sleep pattern at uni, and it seems to work ok for me. i guess it would be different having a toddler as well as a bubba - but if you could make a concerted effort to REST when Natty is in day care, it should be fine - esp if you're not working long night shifts kwim?
