ex. 1 / Choose the correct words to complete the text. In some cases, both forms are possible.

People usually find it quite hard to switch from working during the day to working at night. Although you may be used to staying up late, it’s completely different when you have to do it every night.

When I first started working nights, I would/used to just nap during the day, but I soon realized that it’s really important to get a proper sleep. Turn off the phone and if your family usually make a lot of noise during the day, ask them to go out!

Make sure you eat really well. I used to think that it was OK to eat junk food at night. The sugar helped me to stay awake. But I put on a lot of weight, and started to feel more and more tired.

Finally, don’t forget your friends. If you usually meet during the evening, you may miss out on social occasions, and it’s easy to start to feel isolated.
