At first we couldn't decide if he should sleep from about 8am-3pm, or 2pm-9pm. We then realized that if he slept in the morning, by the time he's at the end of his shift at work, he'd be sleepy and have less energy for work. {he does security, so alertness is very important}. However, if he slept in the afternoon, he would have more energy and be less tired while working. Sleeping in the afternoon right before work is just like a "normal" work routine: sleep all night, wake up at 7am, go to work at 8am, return at 5pm, relax/hangout all evening, go to bed at 11pm, start all over! My husbands new schedule is just like this, only he's ahead a few hours! I hope this makes sense! Good luck to all those who keep our world running in the middle of the night. my husband works 11pm-7am. At first we couldn’t decide if he should sleep from about 8am-3pm, or 2pm-9pm.

And indeed they compensate very satisfactorily, with the night differentials and other allowances, night shift jobs are usually very generous.." sadly my employer is one of those ungenerous :D “…the kind of job which has you working in the nighttime.
