My 6 month pivot from retail to data entry changed my stress levels completely
I worked 4 years at a Target in Phoenix doing overnight stocking, and I was always wired even on my days off. In March I moved to a remote data entry job for a medical billing company, and by June I noticed I actually slept through the night for the first time in years. The difference wasn't the work itself, it was the lack of constant customer interaction and the set schedule. Has anyone else made a similar switch away from front-facing jobs and seen their anxiety drop that fast?

I read a study a while back that said customer service jobs literally keep your body in fight or flight mode because you never know what the next person is going to throw at you. Data entry has that predictability factor, so your brain finally gets the memo that it can relax. Sounds like you found the cheat code for actual sleep, which is worth more than any paycheck bump.
