I don't think it takes a rocket scientist to tell you that night shifts aren't good for you. I think the worst shifts are the ones that they chop and change around.

Having done 7 years on nights and now trying to get into a day shift system is really quite difficult especially as I'm still on nights at weekends :?

There is also a connection with type 2 diabetes and shift work.
