I've been working night shift for a year and now I've been diagnosed with anxiety and heart palpitations i suggest everyone get out of this line of work
Thanks for the advice
Thankyou for advice
I worked night shifts as a security guard for a year. I never adjusted to that schedule...always felt tired. When I would make it to my bed and eventually fall asleep, I'd be lucky if I slept for 5 hours. It was not a good experience whatsoever.
Been working 10months on a nightshift,,as the weeks went by I started behaving odd,,anxiety mood swings,irrational thoughts,worrying about stuff ,arguing with my partner,,I've had enough ,handed my notice in today ,, never again,,health comes first
What kind of irrational thoughts? And behaving odd how bro?
well.... thats not the problem
This video is such a negative impact for all night shift workers. Ffs we don't want but we have to. We can follow a better way to manage health in night shift cycle and it's not said anywhere here.
Sorry but a fact is fact. Its negative for your health, end of story.
And you're not getting compensated for it either....
I started working night shifts parttime about 14 years ago and for the last 4 years I work night shifts only. Here some survival tips:
1. Treat your days equal as day workers their nights. Tell your friends and colleagues that you are not available during your sleeping hours.
2. Adjust your sleeping hours to the season. In summer I tend to go to bed early, more or less straight after work, as it is still a bit cool. In winter, when it is getting dark early, I sleep from lunch until the evening. This way I still can enjoy some hours of sun light.
3. Try to create an evening and morning routine.
4. Laugh, probably better in secret, at those who have to go to work in the morning, while you have already done most of your stuff for that day.
5. Enjoy the benefits of working at night..no boss around, no distraction from customers, silence.
6. Take care during 3 and 4am. During that time you often get some sort of melancholic mood.
this vid coulda been 2 mins long
Assistant living facility memory care lock down unit. Love the night shift residents are sleeping . Never see a supervisor get there after they leave and I leave before they arrive. Basically work alone with 15 residents under my care very manageable easy work load checks every 2 hours. Not required to go to meetings. Stress level has gone way down. If I get sleepy I just walk outside for a few minutes drink cold water. Some do get up redirect them back to bed. Only down side everything is closed on my way to work too tired after too work to stop anywhere to eat.
What a pain. I would suggest avoiding it altogether if you had the choice.
You are absolutely spot on about the 6th point, something strange does happen during that time.
I've done over 400 consecutive night shifts and you are SPOT-ON !
#1 is the most important. - the bouncing back and forth due to society NOT UNDERSTANDING is what makes health issues.
I was working night shift. I was ok but after 2 years I started feeling stressed, anxiety and having panic attacks. I felt mentally fatigue and brain fog.
I just quit recently and im starting to feel normal again.
Pls dont do night shift guys. It will destroy your health
Been there for 4 years man and i feel stuck in that place, it’s not a good outcome :(
It is different for everyone. Were you eating healthily? Supplementing vitamins that you would miss out on during the day time? Exercising? Getting enough sleep (6-8 hours)? Keeping your mind stimulated during your off time with something other than screens?
The brain and body can be trained to endure most conditions, if you do it correctly.
@@pixology8622 the comment we needed to hear.
@@pixology8622 what vitamins do you need to take? I work as a night watchman from 10 at night to half past 7 in the morning, every day. I was planning to go to the gym soon…
Im totaly agree with you me after one year of night shift I have the same problems
Been on night shift 7 years by choice, been an athlete before and after starting this schedule, never noticed any difference in performance or any other important factor of my life. I think this is more a theory people have then a reality. My ER general surgeon farther also almost only worked night shifts for 30 years, in his 70’s now he still comes on 5 mile jogs with me almost every single morning and he works out an hour and a half a day. Keep coping folks, I’ll gladly take that night shift schedule off your hands, they ALWAYS start with a higher wage then day shift workers and usually have way less actual work to complete.
Yeah, those people are wuss. I've been working nights since 19 y/o. Sleep for 3 to 4 hrs a day because I also have a family to care for. Been working nights for 20yrs now. It's easy. Only getting 3 to 4 hrs sleep everyday, yet I can still finish a marathon. Haha
When I first worked night shifts as a healthcare worker, I loved it. Administration wasn't there. Easy work. Don't have to talk as much, the job itself was a pro. It has been 5 years now. I am exhausted tired all the time, sleep when I get home, have a window where I'm awake and then sleep before I go to work. I am tired, cranky, went from 165 lbs to 212lbs....life Is just passing me by. I'm preparing to look for a new job at the moment....
omg I work nights as an RN too. At first it was okay but now it is absolutely unbearable.. I am switching to days in a month
I’ve worked Overnight for almost 30 years & wouldn’t ever go to Days. I’ve been a Night Owl since I was a teenager; so it is natural to me. Family Life could be tricky; but I’m off on weekends now & my wife loves it. We get to just chill! Do all the shopping, appointments; ect. Monday through Friday; so we literally get to chill & hang out later on Sundays & it’s normally less crowded then.
amen... I'm the same way.
I’ve been on night shift for four years. I gained about 15 to 20 pounds the first year. I was one point away from being prediabetic, so I decided to make a change in my life. I started weight training and meal preps. It has made a drastic positive change in my life. I am way more energized and have a sleep, meal, and gym schedule. I’m only doing this to get through school but I will miss it.
I know somebody who passed away because of working extreme night shifts - he ate poorly because he was trying to make extra cash and drank lots of energy drinks because he wanted to finish work while sleep deprived. I wish I was making this up but yeah, it caught up to him and he one day collapsed in our office. Poor guy. Take care of yourselves, and listen to your bodies!
This is an extreme case. Usually in such cases acidity, bloating and indigestion is the first sign. Followed by constipation. Headaches which can then lead to chronic conditions. The person has to ignore all of these consistently and only then they can suddenly collapse in my opinion.
@@HealthChronicle is this true though? Because if so, I’m quitting the job soon cause I’ve been experiencing those symptoms lately with the new night shift job.
Was he over weight?
@@noepascual3610 don't let anxiety get to you. Do see a doctor
@@cluclap thank you, update, I was finally able to move to day shifts and doing better. Even when I moved to days I still struggled a little to get use to the day time routine again. Took me at least 2 months until I felt normal again.
I’ve been on night shift since I was 18 and out of high school, I’m 22 now and it’s still miserable. Im hoping after the holidays to find something different, I miss having a normal life and overall just being much more happier.
Dudee I completely feel that. I've only been working night shifts for a month but it feels like it's been a year but I can't imagine how bad it is for you lol but it does suck being awake working when all of my friends and family are sleeping and vice versa. It's like I'm barely around to see them. On top of that whenever I get off of work in the morning I'll go to sleep before sunrise and then wake up in the middle of the afternoon and on off days I'll be up for a little while and just crash for the rest of the day despite me getting 8 hours of sleep but if I work back to back shifts then I'll have to cut my day short so I can take a nap before work otherwise I'll be extra tired it's just a vicious cycle and it's torture.
Same here
...... I can painfully relate to this
Same boat , did you end up finding anything new .
I wish you the best bro I didn't last a month at night shift
Night shifts were the worst decision I ever made and have ruined my life over the past year. I'm resigning from my job next week to go back to my previous job and I couldn't be happier.
What happened
update?
I love the night shift 🤷🏾♂️ I have wayyy more energy at night, and I still feel great after 6 months of this schedule! Plus i hate getting up in the morning and having to work my whole day away, I still get my full 8 hours of sleep
@Mr Ticky I think you know the answer
You do not need 8 hours of sleep
The most You need is only like 6 hours
@@chevy9599 you don’t? I always thought 8 was the goal amount lol
Same here
Me too! I’m a night security guard
I never worked in night shifts. But since the pandemic and lockdowns, as classes were closed for a long time, my routine broke. For a long time I went to sleep at almost dawn and wake up in the mid day. That time I realized myself that, this habit is effecting my memory. It makes you slow and all day you feel sleepy even if you sleep enough. And body pains also. I decided to not take any night shift jobs, although there are lots of night shift jobs and I currently need one, but I'm making a compromise for my health.
Its okay for 3-6 months then stop its so shit man i got fit for summer got this job now i feel like a potato lmao
please do not take this as a 100% accurate point of view it is jsut you, a big% of humanity works in night shifts, i do both and i like the night, cuz body and body clock can adapt easily, and i can enjoy the silent nights and the peace, visiting society during the day feels like a drea, but a good one. I do believe that humans can adapt to almost everything if they have to, same with night shifts. If you can get your rest i do not think it matters that much, this being said i am not a doctor ar anything, but worked in a lots of different shifts for quite some time all this while studying it is easely managebla, imo also makes you stronger and more considered about your decision, you get more concious about your body's powerhouse, when can you go, when you should not go etc... this is just me ofc :)
@@berniasd012 Yeah, it's all subjective that's right but I can definitely relate to the other guy though lol I get off of work at 6:00 in the morning and I don't go to sleep until at least 7:00 but then when I do I'll wake up it'll be like 3:00 in the afternoon and I'll be sleepy for the rest of the day. Then when I work back to back shifts it's terrible because I'll have to cut my day short after waking up late to try to get a nap in before work and on some off days I won't even get to enjoy them fully because I end up sleeping for six more hours even though I got 8 hours of sleep previously. For me it's torture but I'm glad that you enjoy it.
@@JTCLAN1 sorry to hear this mate :/ whising you a lots of strenght to make it through. Dont know what kind of job you are doing but i did offline problem ticket handling which was kinda exhausting mentally so i took up jogging usually took my break around 3 and went for a 15min run, it was a game changer, if you are doing physical work try to do some short mental exercise during the night it might helps ;) good luck!
I’ve been doing 12 hours night shifts for 8 years. I’m now doing day shifts for two weeks and I’ve never left better. My mood and energy have gone up. I used to like night shifts because I hated socialising but now I changed that mindset.
You save yourself
@@wahidreza4290 Thanks I'm now doing only days. Life is 👍
I have an interview today at 11:00 a.m. for a night shift job and now I'm going to cancel it because of this video @@abdiwahaabnoor5949
What about the money? You would be earning alot less

Thank you so much 😊
@@HealthChronicle we love u
I've been on the night shift since 2004, after four years on the evening shift. I really didn't care for that evening shift at all - there was a lot more work, and i was a lot more tired, because I could never seem to get to sleep when I got home. My first mids shift was the usual 8hrs, 2300-0700, and I wasn't sure when to sleep - consistency is the key.
The next year, we moved to a gorgeous 10hr schedule where I worked 2am-noon. I loved it. I'd run some errands when I first got home, enjoy some sunshine, maybe join some diurnal friend on their lunch break, prep some food for the next day, and be in bed by 4pm. I woke up at midnight, went for a bike ride, had a meaty breakfast, and what felt like plenty of time to get in by 2am (because there's no traffic at all).
I wouldn't be able to handle that now ... the idea of working past 11am has been horrifying for decades, and I haven't volunteered to stay past 9am in at least 10 years. We went back to straight 8s in 2006, and I experimented with a variety of patterns over the years, perfecting it. For a while, I was sleeping right when I got home (2hrs), waking up to volunteer outside for 4hrs in the middle of the day, then coming home to sleep the rest of the evening (6hrs). It was fine for a while, and the type of volunteering I did really helped to balance me out ... but I think I eventually aged out of that 😂 When the volunteer gig ended, I started moving back to a solid sleep block. For a while, I tried sleeping right when I got home ... but then I was sleeping *too* much, still not feeling like waking up until 6pm - too much sleep can be just as bad as too little, if not worse in my case, as I'm genetically prone to migraines, and my major triggers are dehydration, which is what sleeping 10-12 hours at a time can get ya.
Eventually, I found my sweet spot: 10am-5pm (with room for snoozing until 6pm). I've been on this pattern roughly 5yrs. My health is considered better than most of my peers I started with (most of whom are on day shift now), and even a lot of the ones with half the time. I keep strict boundaries to my workable hours, and stay true to my sleep schedule. Plus, I actually eat vegetables and whole foods most of the time - I cook! All those restaurants open during the day, everyone goes out to eat - and not to a salad bar. A lot of them hang out to get drinks after work (super healthy!).
In 2020, we experimented with some 8/12hr combo shifts (work a 12, then an 8, then a 12, two days off, work a 12, one day off... it was confusing, but fun). I tried it for 2yrs, to shake things upnfor myself, and still had plenty of sleep and felt fine, mostly, but I couldn’t keep track of time AT ALL. The lack of consistency was messing with my brain too much - even though I was still asleep and awake at the same times I was before. On days when I was going in early, I was pretty much just waking up and rolling in, which is sad, because I like to enjoy my evenings ... and I did, on the three-day weekends the schedule gave me every other week.
I'm back on straight 8s now, 2300-0700, and I love it. At this point, I'm very senior, I could have any shift I want. I *prefer* overnight. It's not about the shift differential, but the expectations of the job. There are fewer "chiefs" at night, fewer "Karens" onnthe line, and I only have to hear from a supervisor when it's something big. There's less... noise, fewer stimuli wreaking havoc on the senses. The world is so loud, and bright, and *angry* during the day. My night shift folk are chill, with a dark, fun sense of humour.
The crew on days is older (like me), so cranky, so resistant to any sort of change .. any sort of update, and OMG THE WORLD IS ENDING 🙄 The evening crew is mostly new, young, ready for action, they don't like down time, and they really do get all the worst calls - bless them. During the day, you get the tension of old grudges and politicking; in the evening you get a lot of hormones and drama ... but at night? We cool, man 😎 Everything is going to be okay.
Most of the research talking about how bad night shift is for a person is dealing with people who don't stick to a good sleep schedule, eat poorly, have no routine, and don't exercise - of course your health is going to be terrible! Those employers who keep switching schedules around on their employees should be held accountable for their poor health, because that lack of consistency is a *known* factor in poor health. Your body can't adjust if it's in a constant state of flux. Ironically, it's usually people in the medical field that they do this to, so the ones who are (or should be) the most aware are the biggest culprits.
You sound like one of my coworkers any chance you work for NYS ?
I work night shift and I absolutely love it. I have no issues sleeping during the day. My body felt worse on day shift. I was always exhausted and falling asleep driving to work. Falling asleep driving hasnt happened on night shift. Night shift works so much better for me
Welcome back! You guys are amazing!
Thank you so much 😊
Thansk for your videos health chronicle ❤️🙏🏾
As someone who has worked night shifts for 2 years I almost feel like any comments on the side of trying to say I have no negative effects working nights is a defense mechanism. It's like you have to convince yourself that while working nights is obviously possible to do, that there are not any negatives to it because you think you are okay. And you must present yourself to the world as if you are ok. I just saw a comment about working nights for 3 years and they are fine, and my comment is a response to that. I've worked nights for 2 years and I am fine, but am I really? Could things be better having to get up in the morning like we were taught even as children going to school. No one really enjoyed school, but I bet work is worse, let alone it happening at night
I agree with you, but other life circumstances play a part too. My partner has a really early morning first shift 3:30-noon and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get enough sleep on my normal 1st shift schedule with him getting ready for work in the other room as quietly as he could. I sleep better on third shift now in the morning when he's still at work, and we spend time together in the afternoon. If it catches up with me and starts affecting my health then I'll reconsider, but for now I feel better on third shift than I did on first due to more consistent sleep, though I'm probably the exception.
I've been working nightshifts since 2022, for me personally it is the best thing that could've happened.
I have trouble falling asleep during the nighttime and by the time I get off work (8-12am) I can enjoy the rest of my day in peace!
But it's difficult to meet up with friends or family who work regular day jobs...
I had hardcore shift work sleep disorder working DAY shift 6 am - 6 pm. So if it makes anyone feel better, day shift is terrible too lol
Exactly that’s my shift. Sucks but probably isn’t as bad as night shift. I was thinking about going in night shift but no
Sure but night shift is still much worse due to lack of sunlight and out natural circadian rhythm being disrupted.
You have 12 hours shift... Very pathetic... Look for a good employer...there are no health issues if you follow a proper routine
@Jean It's pretty common in the U.S. Even if you're scheduled 8 hours, many fields require you to stay longer if issues arise or to meet tight deadlines. I choose to work 6 days a week at 8 hours instead in those cases.
I've noticed night shift people try to stay up during the day on weekends , that doesn't work out well.
This hit me and im glad im improving my overall health recovering back to my normal hours of functioning.
been working nights for almost 3 years, and still i only sleep for 1-2 hours before my first work day. no energy during off-days. this is not a life, it's torture
I’m 24 & I already have a few grey hairs from working the night shift
Lmao bruh that sounds more like a you problem, I wouldn’t blame the night shift from that.
@@kava3957 It’s both actually.
Hate night shifts, I'm a night person and I prefer wasting my time at work during the day and having the evening for myself
It's been almost 6 years working the night shift from 12:00 AM to 8:30 AM. I've become more aggressive, have no motivation to meet new people, and find myself avoiding others. To make things worse, the place I'm living has a kindergarten right under my building. Just as I'm going to sleep, the children start playing and making noise. After 5 years of living here, I still can't get used to the noise from the kindergarten, especially during birthday parties.
I have been working night shift for at least 3-4 years now. I think the people who have the biggest problem are the ones who try to have a normal routine with the wake up early, work out go to job but in reverse. Since you work at night, morning time for others is your sleep time. Even if you have something important at 10am so you need to be up, it is better to sleep for a few hours, give your body the space to rest and have a good meal. You can't have a heavy meal and go to bed. You will have your heavy meal/ lunch before work. You need to change what is considered a normal schedule and make it work for your hours. Also naps help a lot. Good nutrition and working out is helpful. You can't survive night shifts with junk food. Not sure why but something that all my coworkers swear by is eating your greens. It helps a lot when having such a schedule.
What’s your opinion on a starting shift of 1am. I’m about to start a job that’s 1am-11am. So I’d wake up at 12am, then would be going back to sleep around 4-5pm. But I would be getting at least 5-6 hours of actual nighttime sleep. Just worried because my body is used to falling into its deepest sleep from like 2-3am to like 8am...
Might I add that I have done a little research and learned that it’s best to still eat during daytime hours if possible and fast during any nighttime hours on the shift. Which isn’t that hard for me because I’m experienced with intermittent fasting and even 2-3 fasts now and then. So I wouldn’t eat my first meal until like 5-6am probably. When the Suns coming up.
Great video good explanation

Welcome back! 🙏♥️
Thanks 😊
I worked day shift for one year, i developed a severe energy drink addiction. After going back to nights, i have felt so much better. Early mornings wore me done more so. I must be in the minority. ;)
I've been working full time night for almost 3 years, at first I loved it but recently it's been taking a toll. Waking up around 1-4pm, half the day already over, being up all night when everything is closed and all my friends are asleep. So finally I'm going baxk to days, I'm nervous but also excited
I dont think that people choose night shift because they dont want to wak up early, most of them have to do it because of school, kids, or somekind of important reason that would force them to work night, but for someone who works nights I find it really hard and its true that you will never adjust
Working night shifts can definitely be tough, especially when it goes against your natural rhythm.
Always worked evenings, finally work 9-5 ya’ll this is where it’s at. I have so much time in the evening and the weekends and I actually be with family.
I love working nights! Way less noise, easier to focus, and less traffic! They don’t call it the graveyard shift for no reason lol it’s tears up your body!
I've been working the nightshift for the past 22 years. 4 nights in a row, 8 nights in a row, heck I used to work 13 nights in a row.
I'm not diabetic or prediabetic. I've had heart studies done because I had a tiny, tiny chest pain a few years back. My doctor sent me to a cardiologist and my cardiac vessels were clean. I haven't gained any weight. Actually, I now weigh a few pounds less now that I am older (age related muscle loss?).
I eat right, don't drink or smoke. I get good hours of sleep and eat healthy most of the times.
Nightshift work is doable.
Because of depression ive been up all night and awake around 3pm on average. Its been like 3 years but the majority of my working life i would fall asleep around 2 or 3 am and start work at noon.
Im starting a new job doing night shift from 9pm to 5am.
A normal day shift your off at 5pm and sleep at least by midnight.
So i should technically stay awake after my night shift and go to bed in the afternoon right? To have kind of a normal day but reversed?
What do you recommend from your personal experience?
Stay awake half the day or sleep half the day?
@@LEXICON-DEVIL Hello. I used to work from 11PM to 7AM before my workplace changed it to longer hours, fewer shifts.
Since you'll be working the 9PM to 5AM, you may end up falling asleep as soon as you get home. If so, naturally go to sleep. Then complete chores as soon as you wake up later in the afternoon.
If you do have a bit of energy as soon as you click out from work, of course, go to sleep later that morning.
By far, the most important thing is to get your hours of sleep (6-8) and be consistent with the time you'll be going to sleep at. If you'll be going to sleep at 8AM, make sure it stays that way. Don't confuse your body otherwise your hormones will be out of rhythm. Imbalanced hormones will wreck anyone's daily feelings.
I’ve been doing night shifts for almost 5 years now, and i feel like i’ve aged more than 15 years in those 5 years 😢
Oh the legends has returned
After 2 years :)
Yes its been a while!😌
THE POSITIVE BENEFITS: Lower stress, Lower eye degradation, extremely reduced risk of cancer, more comfortable temperatures, less people and car exhaust which overall improves cardiovascular health, less traffic and less risk of automobile accident, less chance of waiting in lines or being in packed restaurants (that are open) less chance of catching diseases or illnesses as everyone is asleep and not walking around coughing. The list goes on forever.
funny
You're actually more likely to get in an accident on the way home
Because of this video I'm switching to day shift. Thanks!
I've been working Night Shift for about a week an a half now. I've always working on early shifts and it's horrible. I've always coming to work tired and depressed while seeing my co-workers having the energy to work for 8 hours. Ever since I've worked for night shift, I have the energy to work for a 10hr shift.
Same, I just could not function at all on the day shift. Struggled super hard to be in for work at 7am. Now I get into work at 9pm and am always full of energy and can easily cope with it.
hey how do you feel about it now?
I just resigned from my night shift. It’s affected my health. It’s only been a few months but I’m over it. Never got enough sleep.
Interesting clip. I've worked graveyard for almost 16 years as a heavy diesel technician. I took right to the schedule without a hitch. There's some of us that are just built to run nights, and I'm proud to say I'm one of them.
Thanks, its been a long time
My mental health is out the roof i feel like i have no life and very depressed
You say the the negative side effects doesn’t only come from a lack of sunlight, but because of “the body clock”. Our body clock has evolved so that we want to stay awake during the day and sleep during the night, but if that has nothing to do with the sunlight, wouldn’t that make you get all these negative side effects by moving to an opposite time zone and living there?
I just see any other thing than the sun controlling whhat is “day” and what is “night”. So how come the body clock knows something we don’t. I might be stupid, but I have tried searching for different articles and studies about this topic. Almost everyone of them says that it is not only the sun, but this “body clock”, but isn’t the body clock based on the sun?
Idk. I would love to get some help here.
I worked night shift for 3 years and I still suffer from chronic fatigue and insomnia I’ve been off for about 8 months. I never can go back I know my body isn’t the same my joints are pained while typing this message
I’m going on 5 years in September and I’m a professional bodybuilder. No aches and pains despite lifting heavy weights 5-6 days/week too. You might want to consider other variables affecting your health because I feel great still after 5 years of my 12 hour night shifts.
@@adambev9548 my diet is nearly immaculate. Im a health professional & look 6-8 years younger than I am with that number growing larger. I did not suffer from chronic fatigue until I got on nights. You & i are not the same. That’s like me saying you should have a reaction to milk because I’m lactose intolerant
@@LiveReality19 Fair point
I've worked nights on and off for 12 years. Going back to days was difficult. Years later I get my best sleep in-between 8 am to 11:am. Any sleep at any other time is not as good.
Return of the King
Watching this video after quitting my night shift job as it was taking my life away but I am little worried because now I am jobless...and it's hard to spend the day time without any job.
You did the right thing for your health bro, how's things now do you have another job ?
@@Nev91280 yes ,in day shift with better designation, better people and better work!Thanks to God!
Hello, I’m feeling the same that you, I’m searching for new jobs during the day only but also thinking in quit too?, should I do it basing in your experience, it is easy to find another job?, I feel sad every time that I have to go to work and remember all I’m losing because of it, I would appreciate a response.
@@leonmusic4632 No, you should not act on the basis of my experience, because in my case it was total luck. I first put out request to transfer me to day shift as I was having health issues, they completely refused to do so even threatened me ,If I don't continue in night shift they will identify me as absconded,then I resigned from that job, stating clearly that I am resigning ,not absconding.Then after couple of days I got a call from HR from day shift and rest is history. So I took the risk and it worked out. It may or may not work for you. Choose your own path. Follow your Instincts.
@@leonmusic4632 how are you doing now?
Iam 19 years old and I do 1 week night shifts and 1 week day shift since 1 year when every Monday my routine change trust me guys it’s painful every Monday I can’t sleep because of new routine but lets hope for best
I've been working nights for a few yrs now .. after working afternoons most my life and although I love this shift I am always tired and if I don't eat right or fit in some type of exercise I feel worse but I cannot always follow that schedule so I just deal with being tired but the issue I have the most is with others that don't get the concept that my time is literally reversed so wen people call at 3pm it's like 3am for the average person but they don't see it that way they think we should be up in the day so I'm not sure when we are sup to sleep idk if anybody else has this issue but it's a huge one to get people to understand
15 year night worker here and I often question how the shift affects me. So far so good.
I have done medical tests and my results come back good not just passable. I went into this pretty studied and treated sleep like a hobby until I can get 7 hours of sleep with a few hours to function before clocking in.
I guess the lack of motivation to change shifts was the fact that the morning shift person wakes up midway through my shift just to relieve me. They get home on time to tend to family things and then off again early to sleep. They came in miserable all the time. They looked like the stories of working nights.
The best I can do is continue to work it as healthy as I possibly can.
It’s the 10 year mark since I’ve been working at night straight! My job is only at night. I’m definitely feeling it and I see it! It’s time to quit!!! Can’t wait!!
Why this yt isn't active?we need channel like this
Night shift really sucks especially if you need to commute. I wake up after sleeping for 10 hours but still tired and sleepy after sleeping..
That's a very health full video
Ahh love it ^^
Nightshift is the one of the worst thing you can do for your health
says the person that has no clue..........................
Please keep your ignorance to yourself
Stay believing this BS You will not die earlier because of working nights I don't believe any of this 🗑️
It may suit a few people, but the consequences of working at night will show up later.
It’s true I lost some of social skills. Don’t see my friends often and by time I get home it’s so late I just want to eat and sleep
Im a night shift EMT for a private ambulance company and ive been doing it since january....i work 13 hour shifts from 8pm to 9am of me staring at a road traveling across the state of ohio transporting psych patients 3 nights a week (i been picking up more cause im desperate for money). We get absolutely 0 breaks during our shifts and idk how to sleep during the days i work. I even tried setting up a sleep schedule with my alarm clock but i have absolutely no mental will to sleep during the day and i even got darkened curtains. These days i feel im bound to get into a car accident but idk how to tell my dispatcher from another city who doesn't care how i feel at night when i need a break.
Are you Tamilnadu EMT what is your name
I'm so sorry. That's God awful.
U hiring
use melatonin otc pills
I work for the railroad on call 24/7 and with varying shifts. When I have to go from days to nights it feels like I’m a zombie at work
I have been working nights for 3 years 12 hours shift and I work by myself. And the only problem I have is no time with my gf she leaves for work when I get home like if I don’t leave work fast enough I miss her some day I only see her for 5 min a day and some none at all
Me too but I can't sleep 4 hours straight during the daytime
No. Night shift was NOT worth it. I worked for 2.5yrs as a Walmart retail stocking associate from 10pm-7am a couple months after graduating High School. I never adjusted to the schedule, became addicted to caffeine, loss all of my energy and motivation, and really just became a robot. I’ve lost many love interests, friends, and missed out on family things because I was too mentally and physically fatigued to try and do anything. My overnight schedule wouldn’t allowed me to do anything for anyone or myself. For a $1.50/hr more than what the other shifts offer, it was not worth it at all.. Please avoid overnights if you can. It has ruined my life, and now I have to rewire everything all over again.
I worked nights at 18 for 2 years at a trucking company my shift was 930 to 630 am my favorite shift was 230 pm to 1130 pm no traffic coming to and from work
*Depends on the nature of work. I've been there. Working 12 hours in a production factory is absolute misery on Earth. The money is good, but the trade off is your health. I'm glad
I work mornings.
Lol I used to do that at night 8 hrs 6 nights a week. Constant lifting and carrying machinery. Doing fast paced work on conveyer belts while sleep deprived is how I imagine zombies on crack would be.
I think the biggest problem with graveyard shifts is the inconsistency of sleep during the day. I worked for more than 4 years at nightshift and I'm having a hard time breathing and sleeping during the day. I'm 26 years old. I feel like I'm too young. I still have a lot of years ahead of me. I don't always want to be stressed and depressed. God help me.
I’m scheduling a check up watching this video
Nice comeback ....😎🤗
I've been on the 3rd shift schedule at my job for over 10 years and I really can't stand it. The schedule makes it difficult to have a personal life with anyone that has the opposite schedule of myself and the sleep schedule is a pain as well, especially during time off. I'll explain based on my schedule.
I work Sunday night/Monday morning through Thursday night/Friday morning (typical schedule excluding overtime). I'd be out of work at 7 am on Friday morning, in bed around noon after having lunch, forced to wake up around 4 or 5 pm for dinner, back to bed a few hours after that (not easy to focus or have an appetite after only a handful of hours of sleep), wake up Saturday morning to have a "normal" day, sleep on Saturday night, and then fight all day on Sunday between free time and sleep time until I have to wake up at 9:30 on Sunday night to get ready for work again.
Can't have a consistent schedule, even with sleep on the weekend. Doesn't mentally feel good either when you realize that you only have one full calendar day to yourself (at the most) per week.
My favorite part is the caveman making a spreadsheet 😂
Goddam amazon got me looking at vids like this .
Amazing
I think employers who make workers work rotating shift patterns should be held accountable.
Thank you
Worked Night Shift three years. Didn’t feel any negative effects.
You’re lucky. Better to not push it tho. Talk to others in the same job you may hear a different story
What time did you start your night shift?
@Jean Well. It is difficult to call these hours Night shift
@@julia4393 facts that’s just waking up early lol
@@jean8226 That's not nightshift... sorry. That's called 2nd shift.
I start working overnight stocking I've been doing it for 2 months and my physical and mental health have declined by alot I want to leave it before I find another job but I'm barely 19 and still living at home with my mom and she won't let me leave, without having a job in place but my health is declining by alot oh and I have too be on pain killers to get through the job too
Well come back!
Thank you so much! Hopefully we can keep up! :P
Please upload more videos,
People work day shifts in Russia while its dark in the USA and are healthy.
This means the body doesn't "Know" when its daytime. Just in your part of the planet.
If you wake up with ambient light or one of those alarm clocks that put up light,
If you eat during the night but not early morning (which would be your nighttime if you change your circadian rhythm)
if you stick to a regular sleep schedule as you would during the day.
If you take vitamin D pills or gummies to negate the lack of sunlight.
If you exercise (as you would during the day, come on guys!)
Seriously not a big deal.
In fact, you'd notice the positive benefits of: Lower stress, Lower eye degradation, extremely reduced risk of cancer, more comfortable temperatures, less people and car exhaust which overall improves cardiovascular health, less traffic and less risk of automobile accident, less chance of waiting in lines or being in packed restaurants (that are open) less chance of catching diseases or illnesses as everyone is asleep and not walking around coughing. The list goes on forever.
I've been on night shift for 20 years.. and I am now experiencing the effects of it but it pays the bills so I have to keep going..
I had to work at night for 6 months , 3 months 3pm to 11:30pm and 3 months 11 pmto 7:30 am. Pretty much everything in the video happened to me. I’m naturally a night owl but am still used to waking up before noon. It took a toll on pretty much all of my health. I don’t recommend it especially for anything less than a large salary. Today I’m starting another 3 months rotation 11-7:30 again. I had six months since those first two rotations. I’m gonna quit.
Nothing is worth then your health money you can earn any time but health never
I’ve been trying for years to get out of this job. I have two degrees in law and can’t even get admin work. I’m soo tired. So drained and gaining weight. I’m forgetful and can’t function at all. I get heart palpitations but my GP doesn’t take me seriously. I’m honestly soo fed up and don’t even know what to do anymore. I can’t just quit cause I have bills but I can’t get another job in my field even though I have the qualifications. I hate life right now. Please don’t work nights! Please!
What’s worse is that mr shifts aren’t just 12hr ones. They range from 13-16hours per shift. On a 4 on 4 off basis but that just seems worse honestly. I don’t even know what to do. And no I don’t get paid double for working nights. Just the standard London wage.
I’ve tried on three occasions to work nights. Each time it seems my health falls to pieces
I do rotational shift work, 2 weeks of 3, 12 hour day shifts and then 2 weeks of 3, 12 hour night shifts. Wish I'd rather be on one shift.
I had pretty severe DSPS and evening shift was great for me. I couldnt fall asleep before 6am even if I tried. In fact, after years of working early morning shift it was like I woke up for the first time in my life, it was amazing. Early morning shifts were absolutely debilitating to me when I went back to them, and kind of permanently ruined my circadian rhythm.
It's NOT the overnight shifts that are bad - it's having to bounce back and forth between overnight and daytime living that is bad for you .... I'm a 3rd shifter and the average person has ZERO CLUE how hard it is.
me watching this at 3am :')
My job starts at 6:30pm and ends at 3:30 am its not difficult for me since I always sleep late at night anyways but im finding it hard to manage other things along with this routine
Same ... My shift starts from 5:30pm to 3 AM ... I'm also finding it difficult to manage other activities. I feel like I'm socially cut off. Despite wfh I'm unable to connect with family and relatives.
@@mohdhamza770 dude samee I’m not able to make time for my hobbies and no Instagram no social interaction with others except two three people who call me 🥲🥲🥲 its not that easy to maintain even with wfh night shift
Hey exactly my job time also ends 3 am..... Can I know from how many years ur working..... Lots of videos are scary about night shift.... Is any health issue u faced
Been experiencing these symptoms. my shift was moved to 2am - 10am due to dst. And I’m seriously considering quitting the job and finding a day shift. heard it takes months before mgt in my job to approve day shift and not guaranteed.
How are u doing now
@@striker0603 hey there! I would say im still a mess lol. I sleep a bit better now. BUT I've been breaking out badly (healing slowly now) and I think the culprit is lack of proper sleep. I think it actually depends on the person but I have colleagues who's experiencing the same sleep problem. i'll still probably quit work just waiting for my 1st yr to pass.
I work 10 PM-6:30 AM at airport and I love it cuz morning’s I can’t do or day time I like to have my mornings and day still but I do think there is some symptoms I’m seeing but as long as you get 6-8 hours sleep I feel good after lunch break because I know after it’s close to getting to go home
i keep trying to research , if working at night is okay and by working i mean studying stuff for my projects , and instead of making anything for my projects i research if its okay , freaking god , why cant i be productive at all
Hi really could Info, do you know where I can find the studies that are mentioned in this video
