Night shifts can really mess people up physically and mentally. Unless it’s a hospital or some other type of vital human need, I don’t see any reason to do this to people.
many people choose to work nights.
Most fire/ems departments have 24 hour shifts and there are some nights you never even get your pillow warm.
Most companies give a shift differential for 2nd & 3rd shift.
The reason for it is that say in a factory they can increase production without the added cost of having to purchase more machines that will sit idle for ong periods of time every day.
They won't pay for themselves that way.
Larger stores use that time to restock, clean and get ready for the next day.
Deliveries happen at night so your bread, baked goods are there for you in the morning.
Freight moves at night.
Truckers have less traffic to deal with running at night than in the day time.
I hauled mail for a contract carrier from one city to O'Hare airport in Chicago.
I started at 3am and was usually back about 11am.
You get used to it once you get it figured out.
I am more of a night person than a morning person.
You don't have to work night shifts if you don't want to.
A lot of people fo night shifts because it suits them or because they get time and a half pay. My husband for instance did nightshifts in college and used the time to study.
Even though I agree with what you said, unfortunately society is now 24/7. And it would mean more people would have less job opportunities

Night shifts are necessary for a lot of jobs to keep society running. Hospitals, emergency services, power stations, utility service and repair, etc.
If you're talking about some poor McWagie working a night shift at a fast food restaurant to cater to stoners and degenerates, then yeah, that seems dumb.
I worked nights for a while and yes it is really rough. Maybe because I was working all day afterwards too but I was exhausted all the time and my gums started bleeding. Still there are jobs that still need to be done.
It would seem you don't understand. The majority of the work in building the world happens at night. Trust me you just don't see it. We are paid very well. I make $70.00 hr cnd.
It should be illegal for kids, but a lot of Midwest states want to make it legal again to have child labor.
Well unfort poor people rely on day and night jobs. But I see your point. I'm a night owl. Though I read its not as detremental as we thought.
Where else would you need a night shift anyway?
I like working nightshifts.
