I think we can all agree that night shift is pretty tough, actually let’s not sugar coat it, it’s incredibly tough.
Considering human beings, or more specifically shift workers, are the only creatures on the planet to completely disobey their biological clocks, it’s no wonder we struggle to function at 2am in the morning.
In fact, night shift feels a bit like driving around on a flat battery.
And no matter how many times we try to recharge this depleted battery, we still wake up feeling like we’ve just gone through the spin cycle of the washing machine – set on high!
We also tend to LOOK like we’ve just been through the spin cycle when we take that first glance in the mirror post night shift too {insert sad face here}.
But why is this so? What exactly is happening when we stay up through the night?
Well one thing is for certain (which has been proven in countless clinical trials), is that it causes havoc on our hormones.
