Rotating shifts between daytime and nighttime is a horrible thing to do to your workers, both for their health and their attention span.
I wonder how well something like the following would work (seen in paid fire/EMS circles): 24 on, 48 off. But staff those 24 shifts with maybe 20% more than actually needed to provide minimum coverage. Of course, that all assumes that you can trust your guys to work out the dynamics of "hey, you watch for the next 30 while I take a break". -c
