No extra pay for night shifts, weekends and holidays

Does anyone else think it’s messed up that many jobs don’t pay extra or very for those shifts? In addition no holiday pay, but they give option for normal pay or take it off unpaid. I’ve dealt with this most of my career. Now, despite my job being tolerable in itself, I feel this is totally wrong. Also no OT at all. So I work 40-60 hours at the same rate. On my days off I go sleep deprived to if I want to get anything done including important appointments. Or I crash all day, lying awake in the middle of the night because I’m used to be awake at work.
