If a player metagamed like that at my table, I'd punish them by not having any monster appear until everyone is back in bed. And have the character on watch be surprised.
Honestly, perception checks should be rolled behind the screen. Or anything where the character wouldn't immediately know the outcome.
Sure, players shouldn't act on things their character doesn't know, but why give them the temptation?
Vor DM offen rolled which shift would get an encounter. Then sometimes the only low roll is the one not having anything, which also prompts giggling.
