My second shift is working from 2pm to 10:30pm. So far this has worked well for me. When I come home after work I pretty much just go to bed, I've been in bed by 11:30.
This means that all my non-work time during the week is before work as opposed to after it. What this has done is allow me to turn off my alarm clock, so I can sleep as late as I feel like. This makes my non work time during daylight hours, which I hope will help me in the wintertime as a normal shift used to mean going to work in the dark, and getting off work in the dark, so more daylight.
Another advantage is that the work tends to slow down by 6-7 pm. That provides some breathing room versus the pace of the first shift at this job. And it gives me a noticeable shift in work pace that I can look forward to.
The transition has still had some difficulties, getting through the dinner hour is proving to be a challenge, as my body is used to stopping work before then. Things can be trying if I don't sleep well the night before, though with my off work time before work I've taken a few naps.
Overall I'm going to say it's been a plus so far.
