4 on 2 off works OK, but only if you're on an AAMM or ADDM type rotation, for the lie in on the first day, or the couple of hours asleep on the sofa before the missus gets home on the last. At the moment I'm having trouble sleeping, to compound matters, and am beginning to feel fatigued at work, particularly the long day shifts. I know that I probably ought not to be there, but on the occasions that I've stayed away, I've felt fine at home and therefore felt like a complete fraud. 6 on 4 off would be OK, I suppose, as at least you've got a whole day to feel refreshed before you dive in again. I worked 36 hour shifts in one of my previous jobs, with only a nights sleep between shifts, so I know how debilitating nightshifts are. They're definitely a young mans game. I'm not H24 at the moment, but not looking forward to It am I.
Proximity endorsement might do it, but it's a bit risky.
I take it I should be staying home more and feeling fraudulent?
