Am I the only one that enjoyed night shifts? Less traffic, no big bosses around to mess things up or get in the way, no scheduled meetings or other distractions... just do your job and go home. And you can still run around to appointments etc and get stuff done during the day when everything is open without taking time off work.

Mind you, I've always been a night owl so that probably helps my perspective...

Well I am a bit thin, but everyone tells me I look younger than I am so I guess the flesh on me is still fairly juicy at least.

I loved night shifts back in the day, especially when there were more 24 hour stores. On my days off I could go grocery shopping at 3am and not have to deal with anything. I was awake at the same time as my bartender friends so I wasn't ducking out at midnight. He'll, we could go out drinking until 2am on a Wednesday, Uber over to the 24 hour taco stand, spend a couple of hours eating $1.50 tacos, get groceries before the rest of the world was awake, then either sleep all day or get errands done.

Same. Worked on gas station, chose all nights I could cuz it was easier for me than days. Almost no clients, job is predefined, no management getting weird with tasks, peace and quiet. And as a night owl too, had little problem with staying awake.

Now tho, getting straight from work to uni lecture was a lot less fun. For others too, didn't have time for shower and I reeked of hot dogs :/

Working Night shift is a known carcinogen. Your boss isn’t going to pay for your cancer.

Keep looking for a day job if you have to work nights.

In 2016, a meta-analysis found no link between night shift work and breast cancer. In 2020, another meta-analysis that included data from 57 different studies and at least nine different types of cancer found no increased risk with night shift work.
