Effects of working night shifts
According to Harvard Medical School, people who work night shifts usually get their sleeping hours disrupted.
An article on their website partly read:
“People who work 9-to-5 shifts are typically awake when the sun is up, which is aligned with their body’s internal circadian clock. But for shift workers, their work hours and sleep hours are misaligned with the natural cues to be awake or asleep. They’re working against the universe’s natural inclinations — not just their body’s.”
Those working night shifts were advised to make enough time to sleep on off days and try to minimise the consecutive number of days for the night shift.
It read:
“Make enough time for sleep on days off. This is often harder than it sounds, because you’ll want to see your family and friends during nonwork hours.”
