View Full Version : Dayshift or Nightshift
tanquant 09-05-2007, 08:51 PM Which one would you rather work? I love working nightshift because I am available in the morning to do as I please. If there is a problem at school I can go to the school without having to ask my boss. I can run errands without worrying will the bank be closed when I get off. I can sleep all day until school is out. Just some advantages of working the night shift :)
Number 9 Dream 09-05-2007, 09:12 PM Same here :) Plus, I love sleeping in ;)
The downside? You get to miss going out with friends at night :(

catlover79 09-05-2007, 10:58 PM I'm a night owl so I love the hours I work: noon-8 pm. I get to sleep later and I miss rush hour!

That is exactly what I was going to post :lol: I work the evening shift from noon to 8pm also and I like it for exactly those reasons you said. That shift is perfect for me, although it can really screw up your meal times though! Sometimes I'm eating dinner at 9 o'clock at night or breakfast at 11am or noon!
Mikado 09-06-2007, 12:45 AM Id rather work for myself, and make up my own shifts :lol:
ThomasE 09-06-2007, 01:20 AM I like the night shift, but it can be hard when you are trying to sleep during the day if you are sensitive to light. I drove during a taxi cab for 12 hour shift. It can get to you sometimes. I would pull over and sleep or go home and sleep then get back out and work. My breaks would be between 1 and 4 hours.
Max Whittaker 09-06-2007, 01:43 AM In my last job, I didn't mind getting up at 7am.
Where I work now I prefer nights. Mostly because I hate the vibes of the day shift. Everybody seems grumpy and everything is chaotic. I've never been comfortable working days at Whole Foods. Plus, I just love the people I work with at nights.
There have been times I've wanted to go back to sleep on my day shift days. I never had that desire in my last job.
Then theres the fact I can sleep in, miss rush hour and run errands.
Fleet 09-06-2007, 02:10 AM I've always liked day shifts.
I have not worked an overnight shift, but I have worked afternoon and evening hours (2:30 to 11:00 PM).
You get to sleep in on a night shift, but that about the only good thing about it. Less traffic, too.
But I like the hours most other people have, like 8:00 to 4:30 or 7:00 to 3:30 PM.
I'm a night owl so I love that my shifts are normally later. The last 2 nights I've worked 2:30 to 11:00 and tomorrow I come in at 3:00. It's so nice being able to sleep in.:sleep2:

I work the 11 pm to 7 am shift, I'm not crazy about it because its so hard to go to sleep when I get off. But it pays more and I'm home when my son gets home from school.
mc_light1202 09-07-2007, 12:04 AM As much as I despise early mornings, I would rather work the morning shift. I feel like I have the rest of the day ahead of me when I get off, whereas, working the night (evening) shift, once that's over the day is over.
OH Nuts! 09-07-2007, 12:14 AM I'm a day shift person. I've done it so long it'd feel unnatural to work another shift. BUT WHAT I DO LOVE is a late office--one where you can come in at 9:30 and still be one of the first people there. I'm really lucky because I work in such a place now. I work for a bunch of public interest lawyers and most don't come in til 10-10:45am. It's great and I love it. But on the other side we all work late. I rarely leave before 6:30 but then I don't mind working late. So there you have it.
Holly 09-07-2007, 12:37 AM I would rather work in the day time ( SHIFT) I am not much of a night person
Scoobiedoo30 09-07-2007, 02:25 AM my brother is working at a Hospital and he could not take the kids so The Hospital switched hiim from Day Shift to Night Shift and my Brother seems to like The Night Shift since the kids are sleeping
FactoryGirl 09-10-2007, 08:42 PM I'm a D.J, so I work mostly nights, I do perfer nights than days, that way I can see my kids off to school and be there after school so I can help them with their homework and at least prepare dinner.
Courtnee 09-10-2007, 09:08 PM I could work either, I guess. There are perks to both of them.
