Working Night Shift and Sleep Deprivation are areas of health that aren’t talked about enough, approximately 15 million Americans and 1.5 million Australians work some form of shift work in their career. In today’s episode of the ATP Project, the team discuss the effects of shift work, sleep loss/deprivation, and inadequate recovery times on the body, what you can do to help if you are someone who does shiftwork, and how to plan your day accordingly to shift your rhythm to a more consistent schedule.

I’m a night shift nurse and I am struggling with the night shift. Dark circles, no energy, and weight gain. Etc more 😢

This is really interesting. Learned a lot. I’m trying to avoid night shifts but the extra pay is tempting me, aside from the fact that the bosses aren’t around to micromanage you.

I’ve been working night shift for 5 years and I don’t feel any different than when I worked day shift, you get used to it and I actually sleep better in daylight now.

@@TheATPProject yes, something melatonin related would be great. Current information on it does not sufficiently convey the research we have. This led to me taking a higher than appropriate dosage when I first started out with it. Only later did i realize that even minuscule dosages could spike serum melatonin levels by 20 or 30 times. And that a fraction of the population metabolizes it extremely slowly due to a genetic variation, which leads to them becoming extremely sensitive to extremely small dosages that normal humans would barely even register

@@adarshrajbhatt6557 This is a great suggestion! I know that we have recently recorded some melatonin shippets for Tiktok however some longer form content on our podcast would be awesome! Thanks for the suggestion

Hey a medicine student here, working on a project on shift work. Your podcast had great information, but where can I find the sources corresponing to all these claims?

If you Google night shift meta analysis, the studies should be there by the national institute of health. Also be aware that all the studies are skewed and what I considered flawed because they don't look at night shift (although they say they do) they look at work patterns that create a non constant circadian rhythm. In all the studies in the meta analysis, there is not 1 that looks at people who work consistent night shift and keep their night shift circadian rhythm 24/7. Most studies study rotational shifts (and I agree with their findings) and many assume night shift workers get lack of sleep which active experiments replicate. So it's not accurate to say night shift causes the health issues, it's people constantly changing their circadian rhythm and poor sleep health cause issues.

So I have tried night shift way back when your med tech in Uni in UK but adjusted in Melbourne, Australia days after 3 yrs. Back to England. Does it matter which time zone I adapt my day scheduled to? And how long does it take to say it’s normalised? I’m now in US California.for 6 years now. It’s taken 3-6 months to feel back to normal here. I feel I’m back to a day schedule again
