Sounds to me like people doing "shift work" or "over night work" for extended periods of time should get hazard pay on top of their normal salary.

What does the World Health Organization WHO say about shift work? Summary: Night shift work has been consistently associated with higher risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cancer. In 2007 the World Health Organization classified night shift work as a probable carcinogen due to circadian disruption.5 Jan 2015

I had a hard time following. Is the conclusion just eat during day light?

Well tell us what to do then. I have to travel across 7 times zones four times a year and a hack would be really useful.

We have adapted to modern life (post 1850 - even more so after 1950's) without taking into account that our Circadian rhythm can not be reasoned with or even altered. If we fail to adhere to that norm, then suffer we must.

My dinner is at 5 pm, and I sleep at 8 pm. And I always wake up at 1 am for no reason, and I often can't sleep anymore after that and it ruins my day. I really want to stay asleep at least to 3 am. Is it because I eat at 5 pm ?

It depends on your functional health with organ situation, as well as your emotions and soul life. If you start eating at 5, you finish at about 5.30. This leaves you only 2.5 hours to digest before going to sleep, which is too short. Dinner normally means a large meal,and since digestion is weaker in the evening than at midday (10-2) , the biggest morning meal leaving you all day to digest it, I's suggest you either have dinner at 4, or go to bed later, 9.30. 4 hours is considered minimum time for the stomach to digest a bigger meal, even longer if digestion or health is weak and the meal heavy or imbalanced. You may have some unknown organ dysfunction, making your body only sleep its amount necessary for survival and managing at all. Can you see a TCM-Dr or Anthroposophical Dr. to get a thorough whole examination with answer about your Liver/Gall b function? Most westerners have some disturbance there, and the Liver/Gall b can be the major sleep hindrance! Start your day by½Liter of boiled, hot water sipped, chewing it to mix in saliva (eases body uptake), eat something bitter like dandelion leaves or even better, cooked D roots, Chicory root drink, bitter lettuce ends etc. That helps the Liver + is kind on digestion after the night. Or if you have stress, that can be the reason too. Hope you decide to check and decide to improve habits. Do write and tell how it went and goes, if my advice helped. Good luck!

You want to only eat a little bit in the morning and have a big meal for lunch between 12-3pm and you only want to sleep at 10pm sleep till 6-8am, then as soon as you wake up go outside for a bikeride/run/walk and look at the sky to get your clock synchronized.

So does that mean my body is messed up. I've been doing rotational shift for 10years now, working morning, middles and nights. My eating times are all over the place. What can I do?

@Medietos 4 жыл бұрын

To keep your main meal to be eaten as much and as often as possible within the day-time when the digestion is strongest. Midday, from 10-14. Also, eat only light or small meals during night shifts, so that your body still gets roughly similar signals. A big meal before it starts in the evening. Of course it may be different if you have a physically hard job, cf night watch almost all still or slow pacing. Giving your body the good kinds of foods matter a lot too. of course; Organic, whole-grain and whole-meal carbohydrates, preferably gluten-free :( real not fake)Brown rice, Oats, Buckwheat, Millet and Quinoa, Amaranth. Maize/Corn. Getting off sugar, no coffee during the night, to respect your Cortisol and body rest(do breathing excercise insteda if you need more energy) Many boiled vegs, not any raw food during the night, since night is Yin-time and raw, cold is Yin also = onesided where we want balance. If you keep as balanced a life with your habits as possible, that will make a big difference for your energy saving, health, harmony, digestion, sociability and longevity. It may be quite demanding to begin with, but it is well worth the effort, and it becomes habit and works almost by itself.

@@davidwebb4234I am so glad for your goodness towards your self. Hope you will have supportive people or listen to/read uplifting stuff if you ever falter or relapse. i can't imagine how you are even able to work night shifts; i did f 5 weeks and am not made for that. Couldn't sleep in the day. Maybe you are a stronger, tougher one.
