Are evening shifts difficult for students with early classes or experiments?
For students who have first-period classes or experiments, evening shifts can be difficult because they may reduce sleep and affect concentration the next day. The burden varies with the shift length, commuting time, frequency of classes or experiments, and individual stamina. It is important to prioritize academic work and choose hours and a number of shifts that are manageable.
Key points
- Working late may affect sleep before an early class and concentration during class.
- The workload can become heavier during periods with frequent experiments or many assignments.
- Shorter shifts or fewer working days may be easier to fit around a class schedule.
Things to check
- The level of difficulty depends on each student’s class and experiment schedule, commuting time, shift end time, and stamina.
