Been working rotational shifts for Optus for about 8 years now.
They recently changed our shifts from 12 to 10 hours ... although we now work extra shifts in our cycle.

It's harder now as the longest period off between shifts is 2 days ... usually about only 1 day between shifts really.

I have an hour and 15 minutes solid drive oen way ... to and from work. Half of it is Motorway/rural highway ... and that's the worst part of it.

The have been many morning where I have pulled off the road at either a servo or truckstop and slept for an hour in the ute ... and then continued on my way again.
