Legal & practical context for 22:00–23:30
This pattern covers night or overnight work. Under most labour standards — the US FLSA or the UK Working Time Regulations — hours worked between roughly 11:00 PM and 6:00 AM can trigger night-shift differentials, premium pay or compensatory rest. Because overnight work carries health impacts, regulations mandate strict compliance with maximum shift lengths and, in the EU/UK, free health assessments for regular night workers.
