I am at work myself, but I do not think that they are ging to pay me for 8, just 7. New job, so I am not sure. Just hope that the guy relieving me set his clock.

Re: Benefit of working night shift.
Working graveyards myself. But pulling a double so I don't get off till 3pm. And I also get payed 8 for working 7.
I also made out Monday with the snow. City closed down so I got paid for 8 hrs even though it was my day off.
Changed jobs about 5 years ago. At the interview they asked what I thought was the hardest part.I told them rotating shift without batting an eye. Still think it's the worst part. But working day shift only one week a month does let you take care of stuff when everyone else is working.

Re: Benefit of working night shift.
ive worked overnights for a few years now. i like it. i get off at 8, and can run around to stores and post office and anything i want all morning, with no crowds anywhere. and lunch menus are places are cheaper then dinner prices. so my one free meal at work sets me up, for a cheap hearty meal come noon. then its off to bed between 2 and 4pm.

I have been doing the nite shift thing for 18 years. I like it because of no bosses around but hate it when its nice out. I try to sleep a few hours in the afternoon and then take a nap before i go in at 11. You never get used to it, just my opinion.

Re: Benefit of working night shift.
I did 2nd shift for 2 years at Banner Metals in Stroudsburg and then another 2 years on 3rd shift (they could only afford one CAD system so they put the draftsman on shifts) ... 2nd shift I HATED (especially since my son was little) but third shift I actually liked ... it was just switching sleep with work.
Besides that, being the ONLY person in the building on third shift I was able to sneak in 2 hours of sleep every night and still get all my work done... not a bad deal.

Re: Benefit of working night shift.
I think i'd like to work a single shift. I currently work a rotating shift. Work 3 or 4 days of 7-3, than a day or two off, 3-11 for 3-4 days, a day or two off than the 11-7 shift. Every third week i have to work all three shifts in 7 days. So i never fall into a routine.
