I've done the graveyard shift for a couple jobs now.
Usually for medical IT.
Its usually quiet, I don't see my boss very often, and for the most part just run the entirety of IT stuff by myself.
I know how much I value my sleep, so I try not to escalate issues in the middle of the night.
In a lot of ways its made me a more creative problem solver and just a better more rounded tech.
Some things I just don't have permissions for, and have to escalate. Sucks, but I get it.
It helps that my wife works similar hours to me.
We can both go to bed in the afternoon, though I'm jealous of her getting to sleep later than me in the moments I'm first awake, but I leave work first so its a fair trade I guess.
