Consequences of shift work

  • The impact of shift work might be that it is harder to eat healthily. A good meal is harder to find, and you're probably not feeling like a salad when you're trying to keep yourself awake.
  • There is less opportunity for exercise when you've been up all night.
  • Researchers found that pilots who worked the early shift had higher levels of cortisol. In the long-term, high levels of cortisol are associated with an increased risk of high blood pressure.
  • Other research found that after three days of night shifts, the expression of genes began to be active at the wrong time of day.
  • After five weeks, people who stayed awake at night and slept during the day showed impaired glucose regulation and changes in metabolism.

Working night shifts

Some jobs require night shift work, such as hospitals or 24-hour shops. With planning, it is possible to work all night and still get eight hours of sleep in the day.

While it is possible to get used to night shift, there's evidence that some people find it much harder than others.

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Sean Green

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Giovanna Scalzone
