I used to live like that but for the opposite reason. I love people and liked to party all night on the weekends, so night jobs etc gave me a more consistent sleep schedule.
It is kind of cool feeling like you have the world to yourself when most people are asleep.
That was a degenerate phase though, I don't recommend it if you're actually building a good life.
In college I worked at Sevey (7-11) nights and it was great. Same reason, the world to yourself. Went to morning classes, quick study, then sleep. Grocery shopping at 6:00 in an empty store. Far less stress and no people to really bother with.
For people with jobs usually you'll work certain days and then you have other days off. You also get money for it. If you want to learn more let me know.
I used to do this and it was great. Had a late shift job and when it was off I would get groceries at the all night store down the block. The job after that was a night job. I lived like that for years and it was great. I've worked mostly late or later shift jobs since. Being on a different clock than the rest of the world makes you realize how fucked everything is.
I used to take the early as shit subway ride home when all the trade people were just out of bed looking miserable. I knew I'd be asleep in fifteen minutes.
Snag a podcast, head to the store, wander around following your list grabbing shit at your own pace, nobody to mess with you, all the nogs are passed out from drugs/alcohol, no pigs. Just you, shopping, and a few night-shift stockers.
I'm on a sort of vampire schedule more often than not. It's great when there's no one awake to bother you, but it absolutely sucks balls when you need to interact with the "normal" world.
I'll often find myself up for 24+ hours, or getting 2 hours of sleep because I need to do shit at times where I'd normally be asleep.

Get yourself as far out of society as you can, then look back...

Can be fun, but I can't imagine how bad 2020 was for these people. Still waiting for 24 hour grocery stores again...3am shopping is the best.

Wolves hunt those who slumber like sheep
Keeping one eye open may prevent a pig’s demise
Death before dawn should be no surprise

Anyway, it’s not good for health as it messes up your circadian rhythm and thyroid. It also cost me a lot of opportunities.

It's hard to really recommend that kind of life.
