UK workers: do you and your partner’s shifts clash?

The number of UK employees working night shifts has increased in recent years, with those employed on zero-hour contracts twice as likely to work after dark.

As well as carrying a greater risk of developing health conditions including diabetes and cardiovascular disease, many workers find it difficult to balance their working life with adequate time spent with family and friends.

We would like to speak to people in the UK whose shifts clash with those of their partner. How is it affecting your wellbeing and relationship? How often do you see each other? How long has it been this way? Are you hoping to change hours?
