It’s fine if you live the night shift during your weekends but my problem was having to switch back and forth due to having a family.
And you get to avoid traffic!

I’ve solved this problem by simply being scheduled 7 days a week for the rest of eternity.

Yeah it’s the social life that really suffers. When my wife and I were dating I was doing night shifts 10pm-7am then classes starting at 8am.
We’d hangout but I’d pass out trying to stay awake to watch a movie which would cause my body to jolt awake and scare the shit out of her

As someone who recently switched to days after more than 15 years on night shift, if my new position wasn’t exponentially better in every way I’d go back to nights in a heartbeat.

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.

I don’t mind it. Less work and more pay. But I am sleeping at the weirdest times.

Sleeping was really hard for me on night shift because people mow their lawns and you get phone calls during the day.

Easy fix, don’t mow your lawn or answer your phone.

Ya know, people always talk about how day people suffer from working night shift, but no one talks about how night people suffer from working day shift.

I will never work a day shift again if I can help it. Absolute misery waking up like that.
