I've read stuff that confirms that changing to a later shift is much easier than changing to an earlier one. It certainly matches my experience that the jet lag flying to Europe, where I have to get up six hours earlier, is much worse than flying back. It also makes the obvious point that fewer shift changes are easier on the employees than more. R's, John
