The bulk of the evidence suggests few differences between eight and 12 hour shifts in the way they affect people, and there may even be advantages to 12hour shifts in terms of lower stress levels, better physical and psychological wellbeing, improved durations and quality of off duty sleep as well as improvements in family relations.
