One of the most common night shifts is the 12 a.m.-to-8 a.m. shift.
We never say 12 a.m. or 12 p.m. It's either 12 midnight or 12 noon, respectively.
The 12-hour clock uses A.M. for the morning hours of midnight (12:00 A.M.) to almost noon (11:59 A.M.) and the P.M. designation for the hours from noon (12:00 P.M.) to almost midnight (11:59 PM).
