Closest I ever got was doing a 4pm to 12am and 4am to 12pm, I did one of these for a week each month so had two week between shifts. It was office work and was nothing too hard , just monitoring computer systems but was very tiring. Might be different if you did it long term but I had an uncle who did shifts for 20 years and he still never got used to it.

Think it depends on your own circumstances,finance,family social life etc.

A lot to think about.Agree with Diz though you do need to get prepared for the sleep part of your day and that can depend heavily on neighbours etc.
