1:40Zeliha prepares chia pudding and packs her mother's Turkish cooking for the overnight shift.
4:32She folds down the car's rear seats and arranges blankets and a pillow for breaks.
8:47At the Medical Emergency Assessment Unit, she joins handover and stores her food.
9:22Her first break comes after a busy start reviewing four patients.
11:34She catches up with fellow doctor Uzair before heading outside to rest.
14:26Back in the car around four in the morning, she struggles to get comfortable and switch off.

Blankets, a pillow and folded rear seats become Zeliha Akpinar's makeshift break room in "Reality of a 13-Hour Night Shift as a Doctor". She explains that her small county hospital doesn't have the sleeping facilities available at some larger hospitals, so she prepares somewhere to rest outside.

The week's only upload follows the less photogenic logistics of hospital life: chia pudding packed ahead, her mother's patlıcan musakka with rice, yoghurt and pickles, then a pre-shift nap that runs too long. At work, there's handover, patient reviews and a hallway catch-up with fellow doctor Uzair. By the time she tries to rest in the car, switching off is its own task. "For me, the hardest part is switching my brain off," she says.

The vlog has passed 1.3 million views and is comfortably the channel's busiest individual video right now. There is a neat contrast with her best-known morning-routine uploads: the doctor who made getting up before dawn a familiar subject is showing what happens when work occupies the whole night. Viewers discuss that reversal, share their own shift-work experiences and suggest ways to make the improvised bed more comfortable.

Across the channel, daily views are more than three times their usual level, while the week brought about 10,000 additional subscribers. Operation Niki is having an even larger viewing week among nearby-sized vlog channels; Akpinar also had a substantially busier week than Ava Jules and RemLife.

The coworker outings haven't disappeared from the picture, either. "My Final Day in Oxford with my Doctor Coworker" and "I Went Out for Food with my Doctor Coworker..." remain her next-busiest uploads for daily views, behind this very different working night.
