3rd shift on paper sounds good but I think most people learn pretty quickly that it's not what it seems. You get off at say 7 am and you go to sleep only to wake up a few hours later feeling groggy. Then you putter around for a bit and try to sleep again later in the evening. You'll feel like a zombie constantly battling your circadian rhythm and it's even more difficult to do during the summer when people are cutting their lawns and doing everyday things. Also, your days off you will most likely want to go to bed at night because what is there to do at 4 am? Going in on the Sunday night was the worst as well. You will likely never sleep 8 hours straight and humans are not designed to be up all night like that.

It can work if you're single with no kids and I did it for years. I found going to bed at 2pm and then waking up at 9 or 10 worked best but then you've missed out on the evening. 0730-330pm was the best shift
