My husband worked night shift for years. He finally was able to get a position working day shift, starting last year. It’s a big difference for his mental health and his overall mood. He is much less stressed plus he finally gets enough sleep.

He took a pay cut due to losing shift differential and working days is actually harder and busier as most patients sleep at night (my husband is RN) but it’s all worth it. Much much better in every sense. He paid his dues by working nights for long enough so now it’s someone else's turn, someone younger!

I suggest when you can switch to day shift. Much better for your health
