Nightshift Workers- Pros and Cons of Working 11 PM- 9AM
I'm considering taking a night shift job. I'm looking at either a 2:30 to 11 PM position with odd (varying schedule) days off and every other weekend or taking a night shift position with 10:45 PM- 9:00 AM with 7 days on and 7 days off.
Anyone ever work nights, still working nights? What do you like/dislike about it? I'm single, no kids. Either way, at some point if I'm doing well I might be given the opportunity to get a 7-3 time slot. Night crew gets $1.00 more per hour. Both have full benefits.

I was working 4:00p-4:30a Mon-thur
I took the shift because it carried a $2/hr shift premium. |

I've done it in the past. It's great because you get time during the day to take care of errands.....or you can say **** it and sleep in if you want.
The only downfall.....you can go out partying until you get off of work. |

That's why I enjoy it. If I get off on time around 7 am, i usually try to wake up around 3. Gives me plenty of time to do whatever I need to do.

I work rotating 12 hour shifts. Typically 3 days one week and 4 the next. We work all our night shifts in one run of 7 straight nights. Every 4th week we get 7 days off. All in all we work 14 days a month.
I love my schedule and wouldn't want to go back to the proverbial 9-5. Not enough time off to really enjoy it. |

Unless you live in Guru's neighborhood and there are some noisy dogs.

I started out liking it but it is quickly taking its toll on me. I just got off work, am tired but not ready to crash. I get cranky alot. I either don't get enough sleep and be up for two days and nights & then on my nights off sleep for 16 hours. They switch my night schedule around each week so it's hard get into a routine. For what I get paid it's not worth it. Going go for my CDL and hope to make sum big bucks. Stress over bills is draining me down.
