I lived on morning turns for almost 4 years, living in SDF you can have a pretty good QOL with them but many folks strongly dislike them.
I’m a PM turn fellow. Tried AM turns one bid period but didn’t agree with me. I’m more of a night person anyway, so the times more aligned with my body clock but have met many folks who like the AM turns.
