There are a lot of studies looking into it, though, and it seems like it's pretty context dependent.
That makes sense, if you’re working 12 hour shifts then at least your weeks are more predictable and you can have more baked in recovery days between shifts.
Contrasted with rotating 8 hour shifts where some of your days can be during the daylight and other shifts throughout the night, with less recovery time in between to prepare for the sweeping changes.
I just want to say, fuck rotating shifts. Those are worse than working straight nights or 3rd shifts.
Rotating shifts just sounds nuts. At that point it sounds like there was a clear hiring problem if they needed people to rotate their shifts.
