Back when I worked on a rotating 8 hour shift schedule in a NOC, we had a very thorough introduction on how to handle such a schedule, plus the health effects and tips on how to deal with the sleep cycle changes and so on. There were regular medical checkups, we got hazard pay and the NOC had a workout room, massage chairs and everything. Even with all of that, it beat the hell out of me, and I was doing glorified office work, no hard physical work at all. The average graveyard shift security guard or warehouse worker will presumably have none of those benefits, and will be so much worse off.
