Answer 1

it depends what kind of work you get,

i worked as night shift security guard, and trust me after some time you will not like it specially if you spouse or other family member are not doing the night nshifts.

any ways, the beneift will be drivinng in non rush hours. and all these things.

good luck on your new job  

Answer 2

I wouldn't plan on getting much done during the first week you start the overnight shift.  It will take your body some time to adjust to the different sleep patterns.  

When I worked overnight, I was lucky enough to be out at 5 and only 3 miles from home so I went right home & right to bed.  I think I would end up getting up around noon or 1 in the afternoon.  It was difficult to adjust it and I'm glad I don't do it anymore, although, you are right - it was nice to be able to get things accomplished in the afternoon.  

Good luck to you.
