Working the overnight shift may cause heart disease

Overnight workers may have some unexpected heart concerns. A study has linked rotating night shifts to an increased risk of heart disease, and CBS News medical contributor Dr. Holly Phillips explains why that may be true.

As the doctor said, if you have to work night shifts, limit the amount of them. I worked night shifts for 18 months and will never do them again. The pay was a little better but my health is much more important to me. I gained weight and always felt tired on night shifts. Now I only work days and feel so much better.

Study needs to check my bills cuz at the end of the day bills need to be paid and ppl need to work whatever shift is available

i used to work overnight as a baker from 7 pm to like 4am and it was AWFUL i would wake up at noon or even 1pm and i was literally either half of the day asleep or i was working a manual labor heavy job and only had one day off. and i only ate one meal a day and ate poorly and didn't drink enough water etc and if i wasn't able to go to bed by the time the sun was rising, forget it i wasn't sleeping. humans aren't nocturnal, we need daylight when we are awake because that helps us at night to produce more melatonin and sleep easier and better.

If we this then y aren’t we as a society doing anything about it and why aren’t people that control the narrative not creating more ways to create jobs or affordable living well enough to only require 40 hours a week to live off to where people can take care of the family and finances and still enjoy money it’s not fair that only the generational wealthy families get to fly by life with out health problems every one that puts in the work deserves to have that extra time to work on mental, and physical health.
