Essential 24-Hour Services

Living on a night schedule means you need access to services when most of the world is asleep. This guide will help you locate the essential services you need.

Finding 24-Hour Groceries

Major chains like Walmart, some Kroger locations, and select Safeway stores operate 24/7. Use Google Maps and filter by "Open Now" during nighttime hours to find locations near you.

Healthcare Facilities

Know the location of the nearest 24-hour urgent care clinic and emergency room. Keep these addresses saved in your phone for quick access when needed.

Gyms and Fitness Centers

Many 24-hour gym chains cater to shift workers. Planet Fitness, Anytime Fitness, and 24 Hour Fitness offer round-the-clock access, perfect for working out after your shift.

Building Your Night Shift Resource List

Create a digital list of all 24-hour services in your area, including:

• Pharmacies (CVS, Walgreens often have 24-hour locations)
• Gas stations
• Restaurants and diners
• Laundromats
• Copy and print shops

This preparation ensures you're never caught without access to essential services during your waking hours.
