I've worked every shift known to man and many not here at the coal mine.

For me it all comes down to sleep. Can I consistently get 6 hours of uninterrupted sleep per 24 hours?

If the answer is yes, then the shift work is sustainable regardless of the timing.
If no, things start to go down hill.

The other aspect is routine. Throwing double shifts into the mix every now and then can out me out of whack, but i can quickly recover. Repeated doubles, like 2-3 per week are very detrimental.

I currently work 3-11, usually 2:30-11:45 and I'm doing good. Getting rough tho now that we have a newborn.
