“Night shift can kill the body.”
Today is the day that we celebrate National Night-Shift Worker Day and the introduction of the 24-hour society.
One repercussion of the nightshift work schedule is that a typical night shift worker sleeps one or two hours less per day than a day worker and often has less deep and REM sleep.
Shift Work Maladaption Syndrome is where shift work is leaving the worker so sleepy that they fear for their safety on the job.
Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency! Here are today’s Tips For Building Resiliency and Ensuring Resilience In Our Night-Shift Workers:
As a leader, it is important to educate employees on what shift work entails and provide annual screening for shift-related illnesses.
Promote and educate on healthy lifestyle strategies.

As a Night Shift-Worker:
