What time do you have to wake up for work in the morning?

Rookie cops end up working all shifts, but as you gain seniority, you have some choices. Day shift is normally 6 am - 2 pm, or close to it. You get up pretty early. But, since it starts out slow, it's not uncommon to go get coffee/breakfast shortly after coming on duty. Not your official lunch break, just something people do. A lot depends on how strict the department is, of course!

Or you could work the midnight shift, eat breakfast, and then go to bed!

You will get plenty of time to both eat and sleep. I would not be too concerned about it!

You will need to focus on stress and time management. In order to manage stress you have to manage your time wisely. <span style="background-color: transparent;">You have to set a routine for yourself and stick to it for the most part. Once you get into the groove of a routine it will be much easier for you to manage your time and have enough time for everything you need to do (including relaxing). Make yourself to-do lists on a weekly basis, use Google calendar or a planner to keep track of events, deadlines, and due dates. In addition to setting a routine and sticking to it, plan out relaxing activities into your day. Or set aside a time, after everything is done for the day, that you can have "me" time. I have also personally found it essential to not only find time for myself but also make use of that time in a way that is best for me and my holistic wellness. I have found the HeadSpace app to be an essential tool in helping me relax and generally feel more relaxed throughout the day, Guided meditation, even if you have a busy schedule, will make you feel more at ease and relaxed throughout the day as a whole (not just when you have the time to relax and focus on that "me" time).</span>
