Day shift or Night shift? which do you prefer?

I am definately a night person,and I have always been,because I rather be up at night doing things,and sleeping during the day,and I seem to think more clearly during the night hours,so I would definately prefer to work the night shift aka third shift, because it would be more fun,and a lot less stressful,than working a day shift aka first shift job,that and I hate with a passion having to get up early in the morning and it always makes me cranky.

My fiance and I are currently unemployed. We are finding it hard to find jobs with where we live and the fact that I do not have a car. I use to work in another county as a banquet server. This job would entail some days being as long as 6 AM to 2 AM the next day, and would really be a very tiring experience. There were weeks when I only got two hours of sleep each day. I think that the night shifts are the best though as you are right in saying that it is a whole new world. Hope your having a lovely day!

I still want morning work for reason that I could be with my girlfriend at night and we have the same schedule cause she works in the morning too. And working in the morning I have my normal sleep and I already got used to work in the morning it's gonna be a hard time to adjust if I'm going to work at night. Have a nice day!

Hai, That ok. What we must do is working. Before this i'm working in night shift like u. But just maintain for only 6 month. Now, im work in Day shift. Whatever we work is same target to make money.

i don't like night shift because god made night specially for sleep and god made the day to work and any how every one has a style to do work depending upon our minds they do work but i prefer to work in day shift specially

I personally prefer night shifts. i mean all my life i've been living during day light and now i just cant sleep during the day. its like anti-natural for me.

I prefer to work first shift but have also worked the night shift when I was younger and I didn't mind it, but for me now these days I do prefer the days...I do appreciate the work you do tho, I know you have a very hard job and are always so busy, why i know I just got my mother out of the hospital and she spent 2 weeks in icu. Bless your heart for your job

Here in India most of the work goes on in the day shift.In the night shifts there are few people working.I prefer night shifts because there is not much pressure and i spend most of the time sleeping in the night shift.

I definitely prefer to work night shifts over days! The bosses are not there to criticize during the nights and there is less paperwork! Most people are sleeping, so only the people that really do need you are around and you can take more time with them! I am a night person!

hello,i prefer night shift! i am not a nurse but i heared with my closed friend that she prefered night shift coz its not busy as during the day and not many visitor i meand night shift if more relaxing.

Hie Wyldrose, I prefer the night shift too and like you mentioned, less human traffic and hassles. I used to work in a health care centre and I did very frequent nights which I actually didn't mind. As a night person myself, I enjoyed it and I would get so many off days accumulated with my annual leaves. And during the off days I could have more time to do my personal stuffs One thing I couldn't stand was the air condition which was extremely cold at night, really stone cold. And nowadays I have more flexible hours, work when my service is required only. Cheers and best wishes.

I would perfer night shift because that is when i am most active.. Aand night arn't so busy so i perfer nights...

when i was young, i prefer night shift, because i was so energitic that i need free time during the day to consume my energy. After 5 years' work, i went to a college to seek a doctor degree and i usually sleep late reading books. when one day i suffered serious stomach disease, i know that it is not good to go to bed late.

I work in the hospital myself and in ems and a paramedic. You are right it is a different world at night in the er. I persoanlly love the night shift both in the hospital and on the road working. It is hardly ever busy during my twelve hor shift either. I am more of a night person anyways so I have always enjoyed working nights.

Although it is quite exciting, I wonder if it is healthy. Some people say that the altered biological rhythm is not good for the body. Also you tend to miss out on the daytime activities with family and friends and meals seemed out of sync. For these reasons I prefer a daytime shift, although a night shift once in a while is OK. I too work at a hospital and have done night shifts!

I work on day shift and so far I like it. My job requires me to work on daytime. That is why I am used to this kind of work. I do think that doing a night shift may have some bad outcome in the long run. As biologically your body is made to rest at night and should be awake at the mornings. So there may be some complications to your natural body clock.

I myself would rather work the evening shift, you know the 3 to 11 shift. I worked the night shift for 2 yrs one time and I didn't like it too much, it was hard for me to sleep during the day, I had things I needed to get done and you can't do them when your sleeping. I also had a car accident that time, because I didn't get enough sleep the day before, so I fell asleep driving home that morning. I don't like the day shift because I'm not a morning person, and I don't like having to get up early in the mornings, I'm not a happy camper if I have to get up early..lol. My sister is a nurse and she works the night shift, I guess she likes it, she's been working that shift for a long time now, but the thing is, all she does is sleep and eat, she has two boys, 7 and 11 yrs old, they complain because she doesn't do anything with them, they say all she does is sleep, and she don't take them anywhere, but you can't tell her anything, she likes the money. I do think she still needs to find time to spend with her family.

I have only ever worked day shifts, but the hours of my shifts can vary throughout the day as I tend to just do four hours a day as it is only a part time job. Sometimes I work 8am - 12pm while other times I can do 5pm - 9pm. I prefer doing the 10am - 2pm shift, because then I do not have to get up really early like the I do with the 8am shift, but I also have most of the day ahead of me to go shopping or do whatever I want.

I also work on night shift on a international company as customer service. Yeah I also prefer night shift, because like you said, there are not many people and no boss around also we can chit chat with friend when there is no work. But working night shift also have bad side, to our health I supposed. Because after I work on night shift I notice my face begin to grow acne, and also I'm experiencing low on stamina and easily get flu/cold or something. Did you experience the same?

I love the day shift because I love sleep and in used to getting up and going to bed with the sun. I stayed up until 7 once and I will never do that again! It took me a week to get back to my normal sleep pattern.
