I've worked night shift when you do that work you just want to sleep when you're done.
I didn't run when I had shiftwork in the middle of the night. Maybe I threw in a run here and there but I haven't done paying shift work for years.
I did nightshift work at 3 places I remember at least
1 was delivering pizza ingredients and stock to supply a chain pizza store at their multiple locations in the city and in the outskirts. Long shift begins at 11pm or so done maybe 9 or 10 am next day something like that.
Worked at Costco 4am start that was brutal I had band practice into the evening and a solo gig evenings twice a week that summer. I slept in shifts it was all messed up.
Another job I had at an environmental engineering place doing basic labour was nightshift
Remember a prick there who threatened me. I think he dealt drugs wouldn't be surprised if he's 6 feet under by now.
By far the best work schedule for training is evening shift (mid afternoon to midnight). Get out for run right after work when still amped. Run all over town = right down middle of the street.
You absolutely must be asleep before sunrise,
Absolutely the best schedule for sub elite trying to get to next level.
Be warned - don't have a girlfriend though.
When I first started working as a corrections officer for the county I worked 10:30pm to 6:30am. I had about a 45 minute drive each way so had to factor that in as well. Usually got up and went for a run around noon-1:00pm. Luckily my competitive days were over so I just ran for me. I did that for two years before I got off of the Grave yard shift and went to Swing shift. I liked the Grave shift but I always felt tired and kind of out of it. I've been working the Day shift now for over 17 years and really like it.

I want to hear some stories.
Not sure what level.runner you are but it is difficult. About 30 years ago in my late 20s I worked a lot of 3rd shifts. Tough for racing to be honest...moat of. Y running would happen early evening during the summer as I recall
I've done some runs at odd hours 12 am 1am.
