Do you often miss out on the most sought-after parties, friends’ birthday bashes and family gatherings because you’re busy toiling away at work while your friends play? Do you have raccoon eyes, a bloated tummy and an awful sense of foreboding that the world lives when you sleep? Well, night shift does suck the life out of you – not just figuratively but also physically!
As if that’s not enough, a recent study published in the Obesity Reviews journal claims that people working night shifts have a 29% higher risk of becoming obese compared to those working day shifts.
This is even more alarming for those who permanently work on night shifts as opposed to those who have rotating shifts.
