But
The worst for me was on call work when I was in technical support for a big insurer.
One week in six I had to be sober enough to drive to work if I got called in the middle of the night. It was the days of mainframe computers before mobile phones were common and before the internet allowed remote logins.
I had to work by day as normal, unless I'd had a very bad night, but regularly got calls in the night if things went wrong which I'd try to solve over the phone if I could. Not good trying to remember computer instructions at 2am without a keyboard and screen in front of you.
Today's technology would make that kind of work much easier.

I can't imagine doing that in the middle of the night.
I have enough of a hard time staying awake doing my job
I used to be a manager/ supervisor / trainer : quality controller at various times for various call centres and remember calling in tech support at all hours.
Sorry.
Though sometimes I was on call, too.
Goodness!
Sleep well!Well on that note, I'm off to bed. See you guys in a few hours
Good luck with the shift.
