What is the Graveyard Shift?

The graveyard shift is a work shift that runs from midnight to eight o’clock in the morning. People working on this shift typically receive a shift premium, since this is considered the most difficult shift of the day. It is also known as the third shift. Productivity levels tend to be lowest during the graveyard shift, so companies generally do not operate them unless they are experiencing high levels of demand.
