(+) Yeah! (+)

D

i struggle to wake up early if i don't have to be at work or school or something. i also can't fall asleep right after i get home from work. need a few hours to rewind and then still takes a couple hours to fall asleep.

E is pretty bad too and i was miserable doing that shift.

D for sure. For (E) I like midshifts actually, less traffic on the road and generally quieter and less BS to deal with. (Also only 8 hours? lol)

D just sucks because like... you sleep all day then go to work? What kind of annoying disruptive shit is that

---

E will mess up your sleep patterns the most.

---

any that you need an alarm to get up for.

---

I worked E for 14 years. Voted D.

---

C
Too early to do anything before work
Too late to do anything when you get out of work

---

almost everyone i hangout with regularly works a regular 9-5 type shift. working 3pm-11pm would be the worst.

---

Having worked overnight at Walmart easily E

You kind of exposed a bias. It really just matters what time those around you also work. If your friends all worked 3pm-11pm, you'd probably be better off doing the same.

---

I gotta go with E, though that's mainly because it conflicts with my daily cycle.

I have done A, D, and E shifts at different points.

Now I'm on 5 am - 5 pm.

---

Ive workes all three and D is my least fave.

Overnights is quieter, less management, and sonetimes comes with wage premium

Afternoons often had the disgruntled managers who are pissed they aren't on days. There is no wage premium and its often just as busy as days. It completely fucks your sleep schedule, too.

There's 5

D or E.

I went with E though. Ive only worked overnight a handful of times and I hated it. Absolutely hated it.

---

whichever means you have to correspond with people the most. I work business hours and hate my life.

---

I fucking hate mornings, so I voted A. I'd love to work a night shift.

D. you have no time to do literally anything fun

---

A, but E if we're short-staffed.

---

Right shift

Who even uses that one anyway?
---

E

Work sort of a D shift for almost 5 years, go in at 3:30pm but usually dont get out until 2-4am
---

I do 3AM - 12PM everyday and I love it. No traffic on the road to, get home early enough to not eat and go to bed.

---

I work the D) shift and I actually prefer it 4pm to 2am.

I love sleeping in and getting in to work on time.

---

afternoon shift not even a contest

---

When I worked for a grocery store 8-2 shifts were the worst. After noon the clock just dragged.

---

I've been working 4pm to midnight for 20 years and I love it.

I would not want to have to go in at 7 or 8 in the morning. That is the coldest part of the day, winters would be hell.
---

Imo a paradigm shift is the worst

---

I work 630-430. 4 on 3 off. Best schedule

---

D or E. But it depends on if there's other stuff in my schedule.

---

Basically been working D (3:30 to midnight) for 4 years and starting to hate it, it's hard to get anything done. Especially doing mandatory 6 days a week for 4 months

---

D sucks because that is literally the whole day.

---

voted A

i hated day shift. my faves were swings and mids because of less assholes at work during that time. mids was especially fun i remember i used to take like hour long smoke breaks and stuff with a few of my mates ahaha

I am too dumb to do the math what is your sleep schedule like?

---

Currently work E, it's not too bad. Used to work D, and I hated it

"A" is the best

I did graveyard shifts for a while. While it was the most calm shift, it really messes with your sleep.

---

I work overnights and made the Ontario Sunshine list watching movies and YouTube videos.

---

D probably. The best shift I ever worked was 6 am to 2 pm.
---

D, you wouldn't be able to socialize with anyone except your coworkers.

---

D, easily. At least on a night shift you can make your life work around, 3pm - 11pm is the worst of both worlds.

---

A or E is the worst, D is the best

---

The night ones are the hardest to plan around. I work e right now and the job is good, but the hours are hard

---

I would hate having to do D or E.

C is best.

I currently work a 4 10s schedule, so 6:30AM-5:30PM. It's nice having an extra day off but I really hate waking up that early. Would be almost tempted to trade it for a 9-5 M-F.

This.

Better hope you have no appointments with anyone. Or else you have to use your own time off.

I worked "A" for several years. So awesome to finish your 8 hours and still have from 3:30-Midnight to do whatever you want

E should have been 100% voted. It's not good for your health to be working in that schedule and it fucks up with hanging out with friends and family on days off. You can't just have a normal schedule on the weekend. The changes in hrs is going to fuck you up.

I remember working alternating shifts of 230am to 3pm for a printing press 10 years ago. The days were alternating every week too, so you can throw school out of the window. The company was shady AF as well and I'm glad I left sooner.

Working 3-11pm isn't terrible but it it arguably the second worst choice in the pill. That being said, you still can have relatively normal sleeping hours and you can get a lot of errands during the day without taking days off. Gym, Dr appointments, car repairs... hell, interviews for another job too

The worst is working a 7-3 the day after a 3-11
