I've been working the overnight shift a long time. A long, long time. No complaints. It's my choice.
Most nights follow a familiar routine. Bar fights start at 1 AM, Drunk driving crashes start shortly after the bars close at 2 AM. Domestics begin when the drunk drivers who haven't crashed make it home.
You can sprinkle in assorted other violence, including shootings, in that 2 AM hour.
Things are changing. Recent experience has more mayhem in the 3 and 4 AM hours.
Why? That's a good question.
More after hours clubs? Maybe,
It is clear that the "9 to 5" society disappeared long ago. Most of the things you can do at 4 PM you can now do at 4 AM-- and that includes making trouble.
Do us all a favor. Get some sleep.
