I can relate as I worked in health care, my husband is an engineer I worked 12 hour shifts and so did my husband usually the opposite shifts. If that wasn’t hard try raising children in a house with shift workers. Especially when you could not get people to watch your children past certain hours. Often I took them to work with me until my husband could pick them up. If I was extremely lucky my in law would entertain them for an hour or two. I loved my job but 12 shift were hard.

WOW! This video has made any reservations i had abiut a cop on RUclips FLY AWAY! These advice pertains even to Factory Shift Workers like i was a few months ago! Well done Officer!
I’m a nurse and if you do get to eat or drink anything during your shift you’re lucky I used to work three shifts when I started nursing and when I was on midnights I didn’t sleep for the whole two weeks finally I wasn’t allowed to do midnights anymore I just couldn’t handle it so I work days and evenings but it’s hard it’s hard on your body and it’s hard on your mind. It’s very hard for your body to adapt to two or three different schedules.
Thankfully I only did day shift. I'd be brutal to be in night shift. When your hours change, that's another story. One thing all employers should do is ask new people who go from one shift to another how their health is. Circadian rhythms and digestion all take a toll. If the shift causes health issues, paid time off. As for taking 10 years of their life comment, it depends on the condition of the person going into the profession. Another idea that should be mandatory is if you have been with your employer for a minimum amount of years, time off for 3 months. First responders, unlimited time with counselling if needed.
Another great video Randy! Great tips! I know how detrimental shift work is. I had to leave a job because of it. It was made worse as the rest of my household worked 9-5. Even though I was still eating healthy and being active, the evening shifts totally thru off my metabolism. I'm so respectful of all 1st responders who are able to make shift work work for them.
Thank you for the valuable tips again Officer Arsenault. Out of curiosity, can employers have employees work consistent shift work schedules? I do not mean to sound cruel, but I have seen doctors during the duration of covid specify that keeping consistent work schedule improves circadian rhythms, eating schedules, and helps plan ahead for their "life" portion off work. ❤ Which as you evidently have cited, decreased organ diseases and increases a proper healthy lifespan.
As someone that has worked shift work and also has irregular shifts, I must say that this is stuff I need to do more often. Thank you for sharing. It is easier said than done. Thank you for your service Randy! :)
Yes I can relate my husband a locomotive engineer has erratic hours .. very difficult to manage especially when our boys were little. Hard having family time but now empty nest a lot less stressful. We had no schedule he come and goes.. but I made sure we have decent food so this way our moods won’t fluctuate.. omg wait when PMS and Menopause collide .. finally light at the end of the tunnel when my husband retire .. now I make TikTok funny.
@@OfficerArsenault same issues here in Cyber Security, (non govt.) When systems go down and money is lost, the pressure is intense 14-16 hours work, 3:00am calls. No one cares about mental health in IT. And when u talk about it, been told part of the job suck it up. But i am changing it for the teams i lead. Hopefully they understand, because they will be team leaders and management tmrw!
Every job has its own challenges. Police officers deal with stressful situations every day throughout their work life, and it may cause negativity in their personal lives, especially when they have cases involving kids. I have huge respect for police officers; they are always at risk, and because of them, we are safe and can sleep well. Thank you so much for the video, and God bless you, Mr. Randy.
As a truck driver, it's so hard to take care of yourself unless you're 100% disciplined. Society doesn't help by forcing the crap foods on you. I prep as much as I can but can only do so much. Thanks for the advice though. Definitely an eye opener.
4:02 I know you know these are all 100% insightful helpful things to work to avoid for anyone not just police, in general all of them make newtonian sense. Great video.
@@OfficerArsenault you & those like you are brilliant at 'putting yourself in everyones shoes' in the freest most non reactive cooperative scientific mechanistically empathetic work scenario thank you for making this for us.
Wish my husband had followed some or all of those steps. Twenty five plus years of shift work, some times doing doubles, suffered a stroke. Forced into early retirement after that. Always thought it was no big deal , effectually it caught up to him.
@@OfficerArsenault yes I don’t mind if I go twenty years shorter .. I get to meet my dead mother and I be an angel to my boys .. or not funny .. not bad being dead I be at peace at last so long as I die peacefully in my sleep not gasp around live too long in old folks home .. I accept death .. I run away from my husband driving me crazy .. just kidding !
@@OfficerArsenault I get to meet my maker the GOD .. death not so bad .. I be curious what it is like to be at the other side .. dead .. good grief death .. I enjoy this lifetime but I am curious
@@OfficerArsenault I am not sure what is worst live too long gasp around or die at age 65 I think for me I hope I have good luck live around age 70 so my dogs won’t be orphaned omg .. I live for my dogs funny… I am age 55 so 15 more years to age 70.. perfect time to go my dogs will be gone too

It’s true, it’s not natural. People do what they can to cope but it’s just very hard on a person. Thanks for the input.

Thank you for making video on health precautions for shift work now I’ll gonna take care of this 10 things before I join service
Great planning!
Firefighters have it alot easier as they can sleep at night if their not out on a call
Some do for sure.

@OfficerArsenault It's OK. Was just throwing out the lives that we have to live out there too. It's just tough being an adult in today's world sadly.

It does. I’m sorry but affected him that way and I hope there is a happy ending. Thanks for sharing.
Yes thankfully.
When I was on shift work, waking up to a big dinner was strange. Construction or a neighbour doing a roof was hell!
That’s for sure.
💯 accurate!
I think its actually more than that. I think I have lost more than that :(
Sorry to hear 🙏🏼
Oh I suggest look after your teeth 🦷.. if you have weak teeth full of cavity it will affect you ..
