I would argue its much more affected by the 2-2-1 scheduling they force at most locations, and that most people don't get to choose a location. I'm not going to sign up for a job where my schedule is random like that, and they may send me to New York, or Albuquerque.
[0] In the US air traffic controllers usually work a relatively unique rotating shift schedule, called the 2-2-1. Working the 2-2-1 means rotating between two afternoon shifts, two morning shifts and a midnight shift over the course of a week.
This sounds absolutely awful for human health. I have to imagine this really messes up sleep patterns and raises rates of depression, anxiety, and obesity.
