I just recently started a new job working at a grocery store as an overnight stocker. As I'm trying to get my body used to this new schedule, I've noticed that my sex drive is not anywhere where it used to be. Since I started working two weeks ago, I've had little to no want for sex with my girlfriend (there was no opportunity when we were together), and I don't feel like I have to use self-pleasure as often as I used to while on my own.
Has anyone here gone through the same thing before and what can I do to re-adjust myself to get my sex drive back up to where it was around a month ago?
The temptation is to limit your sleep - DON'T do it. You must sleep at least 6 hours at any one time. Schedule it in. BTW it isn't just working nights that's killing your libido, its also the 12 hour shifts.
12 hrs = working
6 hrs = sleeping
leaves 6 hrs left for everything else.
Limit that 'everything else' to what is only absolutely necessary which includes sex. See if you and your gf can't coordinate your schedules.
