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.
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 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.
9-5 for life!
That’s a cook shift. Bank hours lol.
I work 3-11 pm and I love it
I work 3:30 to 11:30pm. I also work weekends.
I would rather be on a beach sipping something strong with a young lady who is naughty. But that's me.
Hahaha!
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.
Days.... to humid in the summer and to cold in the winter. 1 dollar more for working nights don't solve tbe problem.
I worked 3rd shift for one week for a summer job I had in college, and it was the longest week of my life.
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.
It depends on the job. As a general rule, I prefer a midday shift (like 10-7 or 11-8). That way I miss out on most of rush hour, still get to sleep in for a bit, and am still able to go out in the evening.
I need to know what the pay differential is.
Find have worked all 3 in my life in multiple jobs. There are lots of advantages to each.
If I can't set my own hours, then definitely graveyard. I actually had energy at work when I was scheduled for graveyard, as opposed to the absolute torture AM shift was.
