I’ve been doing night shifts the past 2.5 years, and I often do “live a day life” and yet I handle it just fine. I guess some people just need less sleep.
Though I do eat way more snacks than I used to and now you have me worried about diabetes (even though I’ve actually slowly lost weight since I started this job).
It doesn’t hurt in the short term but in the last 23 years I have worked night shift in some form for 16 years. The living a day life will catch up to you eventually.
I have severe central sleep apnea so my sleep has never been normal and I find that it actually helps because I don’t get any sort of jet lag and I can sleep anytime as long as I have my machine to keep me breathing.
Lots of studies show cancer and diabetes rates are higher in night shift workers but obviously there isn’t a specific cause, just knowing that it is a higher likelihood means you should keep an eye out for the signs and try to prevent it by eating right when you can.
