I'm back in the 9-5 grind again, but for the previous 10 years I worked nights and loved it!
In a 13 week period we did 10 weeks of week on - (7 nights working 20:30-07:00 starting on a Monday night) followed by a week off. Then 3 consecutive weeks of days, which is when we took holidays & did training, or basically any excuse we could find to stay out of the office during the daytime.
Social life did suffer a bit - I missed out on a good few gigs I'd have liked to have gone too, but that's the price you pay.
Oh yeah, the 50% shift uplift payment was nice too....
