Hi. We just started alternating shift work where I work. I think I like it.

I quite like it too. It's basically a practice designed to make use of all 24 hours of each day.

I didn't think of it like that. I like the variety so you don't get bored with one way of working.

That's definitely one reason. It's called this because it divides the day into shifts and different groups of workers work these shifts.

It is kind of hard to get used to staying up all night but I get used to it after a while

Agreed, the whole 24 hour thing can get you some really bad shifts.

You either love or you hate it, I've found
1_Wizard
Most people who seem to hate it are those who have families or are married or in a relationship, since shift work can strain these relationships.

Yes, because if you have to sleep during the day, it can be hard on the one who doesn't have to.
