Hello,

Do we say "on night shift" or "on night shifts"?

"I feel sleepy on night shift(s)."

Thank you,

Nawee

on night shifts.

Sometimes, you can use the singular too, but with an article.

I feel sleepy when I'm on a night shift.

In the U.S., we talk about the day shift, the night shift, and the graveyard shift.

"Harry got a new job. He's working nights / the night shift at the hubcap factory." "Well, that's better than the graveyard shift!"
