I’ve been having night shifts, and then a few days later day shifts. I’ve been pretty tired all the time and it feels harmful.
I think I should try to find job(s) that are either only day or only night?
I’m not sure how airflight attendants do it cause it kinda feels like i’m jet lagged when i have to try to move my sleep schedule around so much,
This is absolutely terrible for your body, it naturally wants to hold a consistent sleep cycle and depriving it of that prevents you from getting your rest properly. You may be asleep and your body physically recovers but it doesn’t let you enter or stay in REM sleep as easily so you don’t get the mental and psychological recovery as easily either.
i dont think its harmful in the sense you wont suddenly die but im sure it fucks u up, so if you can avoid jobs with rotating shifts do it

yeah going back and forth from day to night shifts is brutal, especially if you’re doing it a lot.
It’s not on a daily basis, but if so might disturb the mental health
I don’t have a source to back my claim, but my sister who work in some medical field explained so me that statistically, the life expectancy of night workers is significantly shorter, and that it was even worse if you shifted often between night and day.
Night job should be paid much much more.
night shifts would be harmful anyhow (edit : it fucks up your sleep cycle as well as your social life)
