Nowadays, there are people who were forced to work night time or shifting schedule because of the time difference between different countries. What can you say about the shifting and night time schedule? Is it good for you or you prefer a daytime work?

I did worked in a night shift before.
Night shift has lots of bad sides such as spending more effort to keep yourself awake at work, doubling the effort to have a good sleep during the day, missing regular day time bonding with family and friends and etc...
There are also good sides in working in a night shift. Oftentimes, you are in the opposite direction of heavy traffic flows. In my work before, the morning ride from my boarding house to my workplace would normally take two hours. The same route in the afternoon would just take one hour to one hour and 15 minutes. Another benefit is that you will no longer be competing for the use of facilities at home. And of course, there's also the night differential.
If given a choice, I would still prefer a day shift. I find it more refreshing to sleep even just a few hours at night than to have more than 6 hours in the daytime.

I prefer dayshifts only.I hate night shifts.It's irritating while all my other friends sleeping i'll should go on my work and while they are working i'll be sleeping.And moreover i'll miss all our other activities.So,i never prefer to work in night shifts.It's pain to work and also we get more health problems.

I work as a customer service representative here in our country. I started working night shift. At first, i really find it hard since it is my first time to work at night but I was able to adapt the said job for nine months. Working in this kind of schedule brings a lot of risk in our life.Anytime, you can die. Why?You might suffer from accidents or snatching. As of this moment, I work in the daytime shift,but still not so easy since I really have to wake up early or else i will be late. these both schedules are really not so good, but I don't have choice, rather just staying at home and doing nothing!!!
