I did my 10 x 12s around dangerous mining equipment! Don't worry, I almost got flattened by a 400 t mining truck only once!

In the navy I preferred the night shifts. Nice and quiet. Day shifts were hectic, always stupid shit happening. Night shifts in the CIC were cozy, chill, having some coffee together, making grilled cheese sandwiches, being able to do work in full concentration as no one bothers you constantly. On the bridge it was even better. Extreme darkness, having nice conversations with your colleagues while watching the stars and the lights of other ships on the horizon. Only downside is the night shift has to get out of bed for fire drills etc during the day, so sometimes that leaves you with only 2h of sleep every day during sea trials. But that's only 2 to 6 weeks of sleep deprivation so not all too bad imo.

I guess in the services, the command chain is still there at night, if required.
3am food service, it's just you, the other night-shifters, and 400 drunk people.
Any management with power is safely tucked up in bed.

Sometimes our nights were good. I caught the northern lights in full force a few times. I spied myself a lynx once or twice.

Most nights were high stress, hot mess.

Northern light: yes, seen it too. Lynx: usually there aren't that many at sea, so haven't seen them :p

As has been done since the advent of life.

Yes, nations without enough nuke to eradicate humanity (including Mars settlements) have no rights and are not really human.
