What's better : the "Early bird" or the "graveyard" ??

so what's a better schedule ??

working the early bird shift, starting work before the sun goes up, or start working at night until the sun rises ..

i've done both types of shifts, and i think i am pretty weird .. i like the early bird shift .. i don't know why ??

what do you guys think?? what kind of schedule would you like to work?? or if you are currently working either types of situations ....

probably the reason i like the early bird shift, because i have to cross a bridge over a lake, and i like having the wind hit my face early in the morning while i am driving on the bridge ..

I'm nocturnal, so I say the night shift

how about not work at all.
I do a normal days work from 6am to 6pm. Though my actual 'work' time is from about 10am to 3pm. My brain does not start to function until about 9am in the morning & then I lose motivation at around 2pm.

I like to work on my music production from 8pm to 11pm.

hmm night shifts fuck up ur whole day but they go by quicker

I fly afternoons/nights (or try to) 2pm-12am

I can't stand waking up early to go to work...4 am is too early...I like to sleep in...get a bite to eat then go to work. There is no happy median and no such thing as an 8-5 schedule in this biz.

I'd rather get up early and go to work. I'm pretty miserable for the first couple of hours after waking up no matter what - might as well get paid for some of that time instead of having it be my free time.

Working nightshifts makes ur life go at lightning pace.U barely know what day it is and u wont have anytime for day social activities. I worked about 3 months nightshifts(12hrs).. felt more like 1 week.

i guess it dependson ur body clock. Are u nocturnal or a day person? Also it depneds on wether you actually give a shit abt ur job. I know a kid who hated his, so he took the early bird even though hes nocturnal, just so that he wasn't completely awake , and work hours went by quicker.

my personal opinion tho:
night shift by a mile, more interesting things happen in the dark, :P

Been working the 10pm - 6am shift for the past 6 months and I must say I enjoy it a lot more than I ever did the early shift... I just can't wake up that early, damnit.

i agree. ive done nights and theyre very anti social, u work when ur friends play, and play when ur friends work. tho u dont play coz theres no1 to play with, theyre all working. u just waste time on the net, keep upto date with life things (bills, car stuff) and kinda lead ur life on ur own.

plus i think u sleep more doing nights because u goto bed say 7am, and wake up at around 4pm, ur working in a few hrs. its just a work sleep cycle.

my view anyway.

exactly what i'm going through right now, and i hate it. working 10pm - 7am tuesday to saturday is driving me insane.

graveyard!

There's this big yellow ball out during the day. People are far wierder at night, which is good (all govt and corporations are run during daytime... a clue?). If your socks don't match no-one will know. Most good parties don't end until long after the big yellow ball comes back up. You always have an excuse: "I'm really tired". Roads are less busy. Less chance of recieving phone call from a Jehovah Witness, newspaper subscription, or collection agency.

well thanks guys for responding ..

i have done early bird the past couple of weeks so far, and it's not bad .. u know..

my body reacts to coffee better in the morning than at night anyways ..

and my body clock is influx .. either nocturnal or normal .. either or . i can adjust in a couple of days ..

u can just give me 3 days to adjust, and i'm set for life ..

until i need to change back to the other again.

*** oh yeah, and it doesn't matter either or . because i still get to play yahoo pool all day and bs around .. hahhahaa
