Full-time night work isn't great, but rotating work is even worse.

One of the places I worked had the following pattern. It was horrible
2 days/shifts of 6am till 6pm
2 days/shifts of 6pm till 6am
4 days off

I was offered a similar role… but more painful (Imho)
4 days 8am till 8pm
4 days off
4 days 8pm till 8am

I've read stuff that confirms that changing to a later shift is much
easier than changing to an earlier one.
Having done this for quite a few years my advice is that once you get

Thanks to all for your suggestions.
We've had several other problems with our Barracuda box as well including the
