Shift work will kill you.
Looking for more research grant money.
I loved second shift. The job and alcohol were my whole life but I liked living while everyone else was sleeping. All my friends were 2nd shift people too. It wasn’t unusual for me to have visitors at 4 AM.

Yeah - enough to run their labs, three shifts, around the clock...
Let’s all stop shift work and just bum around with EBT cards.
That’s a straight shift. Try working a rotating shift (all three shifts) and see if your bowels know whether to push or pull.
WORD! I loved rotating shifts from a lifestyle perspective. But I suspect that it was hard on my health.
They have the internet in the asylums now? Cool!

That’s why I always chose 2nd shift. I’d do my real work while I was rested and then go to work to rest up. Actually, I had a job that I could usually do in 2-3 hours with the rest of the night to read a book while on call.
Don't forget the effect of night lighting on breast cancer.

Hint: I went off bed time statins and my average fasting glucose level dropped 20 points.
Yeah I used to do all my shopping in the middle of the night. The night shift at Meijer’s knew me by name and gave me a heads up on sales and things that hadn’t made it to the shelves yet. I was the first person in my county to have Gran Turismo for playstation.
If people in the medical world really believed this they wouldn’t have all constant shift changes common to most hospitals. It is easy to adjust to most shifts than change all the time.

She has been doing it for 18 years and hasn't had any health problems because of it.
She's 74 and weighs 115# without any diabetes problems.
I never had any trouble with my Glucose levels until I started working 2300-0900 shift four days a week. Before the night shift my levels were at 100-101 at all times. After a year and a half of the night shift I had developed Type 2. Now I go through the daily shot routine and my levels can go as high as 250.
