In some certain instances, your significant other absconding into the dark of night, is actually a good thing. You may even wish to make this easier on them. Why? No, you\u2019re not a creepy masochist, you\u2019re involved with a night shift worker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, if your husband or wife, girlfriend or boyfriend, heck, even your kid in some instances (let\u2019s hope the latter aren\u2019t also the former, that\u2019s an entirely different blog,) are denizens of the night, read on to see if you can make their lives a little brighter. See, because it\u2019s a night shift blog. It\u2019s very dark then. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Breakfast for Dinner, But in Reverse<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As basic as it may seem, sometimes a simple dinner with you is all they want at the end of the day. Yes, your stellar company (and possibly a ribeye,) can really make it all seem worthwhile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the early morning for you may only call for orange juice and maybe a bagel, your partner has worked all night. They have most likely subsisted on a menu of stale coffee, some sort of abomination from a grease-stained microwave oven, and probably a donut from the Mesozoic Era. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The prospect of actual food and your company will seem a delight (no matter how antisocial you are in the morning.) <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

So, while you\u2019re grumbling away about the invention of the alarm clock (here are our favorite ones if you hate yours<\/a>), hoping its creator is being accosted by the devil, go ahead and take that frustration out on a steak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heck, throw one on for yourself. Live a little. Unlike the cow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the below video, Em talk about the ways we maintained our relationship when both working shift work. Few goodies in there for sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
