On Star Trek: Deep Space 9, everything shuts down for the night shift, that's not realistic. For a seaport, it makes sense, there is a definite day and night there. But while you could synchronize the station's clock to the capitol of Bajor, the rest of the planet will be on its own schedule. And the ships will arrive when they arrive, with no concern about what shift the station is on.
It's the sort of error that comes from trying to apply a planet-bound model to a space station.
