As someone who worked night shifts for a little - it’s really not healthy.
There are studies showing that type of disruption to your circadian rhythm can take like more than a decade off your life. After doing it for a while I felt it impacting my well being, not being really awake, hitting the bed and falling asleep immediately but not deeply, super high base load of stress and heart pain.
FWIW , I’m talking working 11-4/6am type night shifts, not the late night retail/bar shifts which are tough in their own right

I think it just depends on your body.
Worked night shift most of my life until recently, and never had any issues with it. Actually miss the emptiness of the roads and how little was going on while I was working.
I had to move to days a few times since the factory was closing night shift near Christmas time, and worked that no problem either.
Working days seems to drain me more so than any night shift position ever did. And I’m working an easier job now! It’s quite wild honestly.
