I have heard this before (long haul stewardesses and breast cancer I think) but was that researched enough to say it like you say? Quite a lot of people who do this for decades without issues... I can see how it can be bad for people, but is the cause of that too little sleep, some reason of anxiety being unable to cope with 'the day', doing drugs, some stress factors that make it easier to work when the rest sleep etc; if one exchanges night with day fully, has that been proved to be objectively bad?
- bayesian_horse 7y agoThere may be people who can shift their night cycle, maybe even because of genetics or circumstance, but medical science says that circadian rhythms are hard to change and changing sleep cycles too fast leads to issues. And this may also be a case of how many problems you have. Night shifts might not be a problem on its own, but throw in a little depression, or getting overweight, or whatever, and it's going to suck big time.
