I've done it long enough that I don't ever want to do it again even at twice the salary. It's detrimental to your health, makes having a social life difficult and you always feel tired. That 3am deep sleep is super important.
I have too. But I'm trying to work more and that might make me work a few hours past when I told myself I would.
So I have my own reasons for asking this question. I'm really trying to sanity check my own reasoning. The general idea is to treat any time past 9pm as needing somewhere between 1.5x the pay to up to 4x the pay. So a shift that does some of both I have to count every hour past 9pm as 4x the time to calculate the adjusted hourly of the shift.
I think that may be a fair way to compare it and judge the quality of different jobs and shifts.
But I wonder if 4x is too extreme. But it looks like people think like I do that working at night is really bad, and the point of a job is in a way to provide for your health so if a job is detrimental to your health it's really negative work. So maybe the extreme of counting each of those minutes as 4x isn't that unreasonable.
It's fine if you do it just for a short while but don't underestimate the importance of REM sleep. What I enjoyed the most was having a beer in the morning while everyone else was going to work...
