Fell asleep at my night time security job I was planning to quit next week
Well first time I napped for 45 minutes so I figure I might as well quit now so they dont bother me
How many weeks notice SHOULD I give?

What ever notice you planned to give next week, plus an extra week

Why quit shit happens?
Next time don't nap?
Honestly I do grave and its hell if I don't catch a nap sometimes.
15 min goes a long way.

I was gonna quit next week either way
They'll likely give me a warning but I'd rather not deal with that so I'll just say three weeks notice since I was gonna go with two weeks originally

If you have a contract it'll probably be specified in there. As a rule of thumb though, you should generally give notice equal to or greater than your pay frequency - a week if you get paid every friday, a month if you get paid monthly etc.
That said, I don't think you should quit. We employ a lot of people to do menial tasks, and I just accept that from time to time they fuck things up - groups of people who are super competent, 100% on the ball and never make mistakes and groups of people who will willingly give you 40 hours of their life each week for £10 an hour are mutually exclusive. Chances are that no one even knows you screwed up - we have cameras on the factory floor so I can see what everyone is doing, but I don't sit and watch them eight hours a day because I have my own job to do - and even if they do, the fact that no one has said anything probably means they're not fussed about it.
Also don't leave your job without lining another one up. If you come to me and say "I want to leave company x and work for you" I know you must be at least halfway competent, otherwise company x would have fired you. If you come to me unemployed, I assume you're an imbecile who can't hold down a steady job and I won't waste my time giving you an interview only to have to replace you three weeks later.

Well I'm actually quitting to go take a licensure exam for my major in college and I can't study properly with this graveyard shift fucking my shit up 5 times a week not included the daily 3 hour commute. I only took the job to save up cash for multiple attempts at the exam. I figured if I left on good terms I can use them as a reference?
