Working in shifts can lead to cognitive decline due to the disturbance of the circadian rhythm and subsequent hormonal irregularities, as well as neurobehavioral issues. This decline can manifest in several ways, such as reduced processing speed, impaired working memory, psychomotor vigilance, decreased cognitive control, and impaired visual attention. Shift work disrupts the body’s natural sleep-wake cycle and can negatively impact overall health, including an increased risk for chronic diseases such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Additionally, shift work has been linked to increased rates of depression, anxiety, and substance abuse. It is important for employers to consider the potential risks associated with shift work and implement measures to mitigate the negative effects on employees’ health and well-being.
