The risks of night time shifts

I’ve heard that night shifts increases risk of stroke. The person doing my job b4 me had a stroke thus why he left. A colleague of mine also had a stroke last week. Both ppl doing night shifts.

Now I come across this article in bbc news. About night shifts and cancer.

It is a good point that doing night shifts feels weird on my body’s natural state.

I’m thinking I will find a day shift at the end of this year. It’s best to wait til end of year cos I need to work in this job long enough so dat my cv, resume, don’t look stupid.

It’s hard to fall asleep in the day. I end up not getting much sleep. Yea I love my sleep 2. Feel half dead with lack of it hence my new found reliance on coffee :confused: which I’ve been trying to avoid

I have til end of the year to decide. Right now idk but think I’m gonna stick with another cleaning job for the while being, whilst I figure out something different.

Having social anxiety makes the general job world like a huge obstacle course.

Thanks 4 asking

No probs. Hope you find somthing else that’s good for you… I tend to ignore social anxiety, but at some point it’s too heavy to even walk on the street.

Social anxiety? Beeing around people, which I ignore until i cannot go out anymore. Keep in mind that I play music: concerts, jams, rehearsals, etc.

I went to a birthday party today. I had 2 leave early. For me yea it’s also being around ppl. But specifically, it is related to self consciousness. And thus not being able to fully enjoy myself around those ppl.

Glad you have a coping skill.

Yeah well, for me it’s just go and do it. Don’t think too much.

I’m fighting vs self consciousness aswell. Want to lose weight asap! But I just do it. Hope I can endure enough to reach my goals.

I have heard that people who work night shifts for a long time have difficulties.

I hope you’re able to switch over to the day shift and get more rest.

Take care of yourself.
