And what's your routine like?

I'm the kind of worker who prioritizes life over work. So that means I care about having light schedules if I know when it's suitable and if my expenses can still be met which currently, I'm in the hole on that. If I can get away with using as much PPTO/PTO/Sick days as possible, I'll do it. If I can afford to take points while balancing my expenses, I'll do that too and have done that.

I typically work nights and I like working nights in nearly all of the jobs I've been in when available. I can't stand morning and day shifts because it takes me a little longer to get warmed up during the morning and day. I actually used to have burned through mornings by sleeping through them.

But on my off days I do try to make up for some sleep at nights.

I'm gonna quibble a bit here: You, OP, did not talk at all about what kind of worker you are. You talked about what kind of schedule you like. You gave us no information about how you behave when you're on shift.

For me, I try to maximize the amount I'm earning within ethical constraints. I treat other people, including management, with respect and trust unless they've shown me they won't reciprocate, in which case they get nothing but the minimum. I cannot abide people who draw a box around their role and say anything else is "not their job", especially when they're wrong or making more work for someone else. I work fast, I work clean, and I don't tolerate disrespect (towards me or my team) or attacks on my dignity. I've been described as very professional but also as mercenary.

I didn't because it doesn't matter what I do whether it's bare minimum or working my ass off, I get the same results from my job - shit.
