Nonstandard work schedules have important consequences for workers in the new economy. Using unique data on the work times of Internet-based freelancers, specifically, self-employed professionals participating in a Russian-language online labor market ( N = 4,280), the authors find that working at night has adverse effects on workers' subjective well-being as measured by satisfaction with work-life balance, life satisfaction, and emotional exhaustion. Night work has differential effects on freelancers' well-being based on gender, partnership status, and caregiving responsibilities. Highlighting the autonomy paradox, the authors' findings document how freelancers' discretionary application of a flexible schedule to work at night consequently undermines their well-being
