I personally always preferred the day shift where I work 7 am to 3 pm. I was on night shifts for about three years where I worked 2 pm to 3 pm, 2 pm to 11 pm or 3 pm to 11 pm and absolutely hated it! Felt like I had no kind of life and my life consisted of sleeping during the day and up at night.
I'm usually awake and ready to go by 5:00 am, so I'm a morning person. If I have customers lined up, I'm usually at my first job of the day by 7:30 am.
If it's like the last two weeks have been, I sit in my house and stare at the wall for 12 hours a day waiting for my company to assign me work.
I work 3-11 pm and I love it
I work 3:30 to 11:30pm. I also work weekends.
I would rather be rich and not to worry about going to work!! LOL
Me too... wait a minute.... im retired...lol.
That would have been my choice also, if I would have had a choice.
I have worked all of the shifts mentioned and to me it matters much more on who I'm working with then when I'm there. I prefer to sleep in so 3pm- 11pm shifts were my favorite. Now I own my own business and make my own hours so I would pick that option if that's a choice.
We used to run a 24 hour shop, Monday through Friday. Working midnight to 8 AM was my favorite shift (and yes I worked all of them). It was quiet, not as much to do, no one around to bug you or whine about things. And I loved my social life. Sleep from 9 to 3 when everyone else is at work, and then you have all evening to hang with friends.

Yes, exactly! Granted I lived in the base dorms when I worked that shift, so I didn't have much "house" to clean. I'm talking about 179 square feet of living space, lol.
@nutrition_nerd
That's the truth! Cleaning certainly was. And the free Chow Hall food was mostly serviceable.
@nutrition_nerd
I think if I could pick between Chow Hall food and an attractive woman cooking for me, I'd also go Option 2.
Every.
Damn.
Time!
I would rather be on a beach sipping something strong with a young lady who is naughty. But that's me.
Hahaha!
Find have worked all 3 in my life in multiple jobs. There are lots of advantages to each.
9-5 for life!
That’s a cook shift. Bank hours lol.
Night shift for me has more benefits than Day shift right now. Traffic nightmare on days and hate getting up to an alarm. Plus a little extra pay on nights and more time to get appointments in without missing work.
I worked 3rd shift for one week for a summer job I had in college, and it was the longest week of my life.
Days.... to humid in the summer and to cold in the winter. 1 dollar more for working nights don't solve tbe problem.
I work 24/7 I own my business but I have children and grandchildren it's all about finding a balance
