First, the first harm is to affect people's sleep quality.

The night shift is black and white, although it seems that the hours of working during the day and at night are the same, and working the night shift is the same as going to work, but at different times. However, the truth is that if you sleep during the day, it is not the same as at night! It is obviously very noisy during the day, which is not conducive to people's rest, and it is easy to be disturbed by daytime light, and the quality of sleep is greatly discounted.

Second, the risk of carcinogenesis is greatly increased.

Because the night shift disrupts a person's normal biological clock, when they should be sleeping but working, many hormones that are secreted at night will not be secreted when they sleep during the day! For example, melatonin, which is a hormone that can inhibit the production of tumors, if you work at night, then the lights during work will inhibit the secretion of melatonin, and during the day, even in the dark environment, it will not be secreted, thus increasing the probability of tumor development.

Thirdly, it leads to changes in normal eating habits, leading to the occurrence of gastrointestinal diseases.
