I work nights from 9pm-5am and the #1 problem i encounter is that i need to be awake during the day to perform this freelance gig. But that would mean i would only be able to take a modest nap during the evening. And like you say health, sleep & exercise are the utmost important.

I have passed on some pretty interesting gigs. Especially tech that im new too and very interested in.

My solution would be to get a day job. But finding a new job is always easier said than done.

Thanks for your answer Chase, it's a bummer that you haven't been able to work on those gigs. About your job, I've never heard of night-shift engineering jobs so I am curious to know, what led you there?
