Does your native language not do this? ...was it Italian? I forgot. :/
It is kinda hard to say I am having a 2am snack meal LOL.
Yes, I worked 3 years overnight in my country too (you are correct it is Italy) and we do the same thing there. Actually, there we have community groups that work on creating daily entertainement activities (like people who work day shifts have when they have evenings free) just for overnight crews (like bars, pubs, restaurant, theaters...).
My father worked 36 years overnight (I guess it runs in the family LOL) and trust me when he spoke about supper it was 7am


降り注ぐ雨 マジで冷てぇ
暗闇の中 歩くしかねぇ
everything’s gonna be okay 恐れることねぇ
辛い時こそ胸を張れ
