Night Shift Work & Health Risks 💤

Night shift work has been associated with increased risk of cardiac problems, sleep issues and stress related complications. And this risk increases with age and how long someone has been doing night shifts. At a younger age, our brain and body can tolerate sleep time shifts better but as we age, this tolerance goes down.

While there are some industries and jobs where night shifts are inevitable, we must also know of the toll it takes on our health.
