New guy with day/night shift question
New guy with day/night shift question
I searched but could not find an answer to this question. I'm starting a new job soon and will work 7 days of day shift and 7 off. Then 7 days of night shift and 7 off. My concern is losing compliance days on the first and last days of night shift. I have to have 75% with 6 hours average for the year (FAA requirement). Anyone work a schedule similar to this? Other than changing the clock/day changeover time, any other advice?

Whether you worked day shift, night shift or were off, I assume you would still sleep sometime during each 24 hours.

Re: New guy with day/night shift question
No need to worry, as long as you only sleep with the cpap,
and enough total hours in each 24 hour period--noon to noon.
Split nights will add together, and you should be all right.

Thanks for the replies!!
Re: New guy with day/night shift question
Just to confirm, it'll add up all the hours in a 24 hour period for compliance, even if you sleep from 9am to 4pm, the 4 hours from the afternoon will get added to the 3 the next morning, for a total of 7. The hours don't have to be consecutive.
