Technically a day is not a hard constraint in the short term. Maybe if you do one 36h shift, however unlikely, produces fewer errors than a 12h shift with 2 hand-offs. Long term we know about adverse health effects of inconsistent sleeping patterns, so those would factor in as well.
Presumably the constraint here is having an integer number of shifts per 24-hour day - 3x8 hour, 2x12 hour, 1x24 hour and so on.
