It really depends on the job. I've usually worked night shifts and the only time it was chill was when I was a security guard and got assigned to make sure teenagers stayed out of an abandoned farmhouse that was structurally unsafe.

Working night shifts at a factory or warehouse ain't fuckin' chill.

OK short term but comes with increased risk of all cause mortality if you stick to it for long (especially after 5 years, it rises exponentially if more than 20 years).

The World Health Organization (WHO) classifies night shift work as a Group 2A "probable carcinogen." Suppressing melatonin (the sleep hormone) via artificial light at night disrupts natural cellular repair, increases oxidative stress, and alters DNA repair mechanisms, increasing the long-term risk of cancers (particularly breast, prostate, and colorectal cancers).

Best to keep it to less than 5 years to minimize risk. Employers should ve compensating substantially if it's longer than that.

Had a night shift for 5 years. I will never be able to sleep normal again. A decade after leaving my brain still has issues keeping a regular schedule, I get random bouts of sleepiness in the middle of the day. And when stressed my brain refuses to sleep some nights.

It was pretty chill while doing it, though.

I miss night shifts so much. Also the differential was nice.

I don't want to do nothing either. I wanna be a librarian or something. I'm sick of retail, factory, farm, and warehouse work.
