We always disliked First Watch. We realize it's a necessity for a 24/7 operation, but it's not and never has been anything that lends itself to a natural sleep cycle.
Best wishes to the injured for a speedy recovery.

First god bless the midnight people. They are the backbone of the dept and should get pay bump for working 1st watch. I’d give up 1% for them. And have third watch give up 1%. Not a lot but a show of gratitude for working the graveyard shift.
Thos e"L" pillars don't budge when they get nailed.
I always hated it also.
Low seniority gets you midnights kid, when your seniority raise kicks in you will enjoy days.
