You can argue about his choice of words, but shift workers fare worse on just about every measure of physical and mental well-being. There's always a choice. If I were the OP, rather than try to band-aid the symptoms with medications, I would plan and prepare to change my career to something where I don't have to do shift work. Just the same as if I had a job that I hated. It's just a job, better to find one that doesn't have so many negative impacts on your life.
