a lot of them are open 24 hours per day. They have some people who work in the daytime,

他們中的很多每天24小時開放。他們 有一些白天工作的人，

some people work in the afternoon, some people work at nighttime. So you can say:

有些人在下午工作，有些 人們在夜間工作。所以你可以說：

"Oh, I'm on day shift.",

“哦，我正在白班。”，

"I am on afternoon shift.",

“我正在上班。”

Instead of saying, you know: "I work day shift, afternoon shift, night shift", you can also say:
