Talking with people about working nights has brought up some heart rending stories and Laingian approaches to recovery.
Desperate for funds following the break up of his marriage, one person managed to get a job as a night cleaner in a conference centre. The solitary vacuuming of endless floors for twelve hours a night was the only way he got over his upset. Another person owned a Kebab shop. Starting work at 8am, he wouldn’t finish until 4am. Six days a week, for twelve years. Now he runs an ice cream shop with a friend “it’s my reward.”
