i'm crazy but i loved working night shifts, all you need is a proper rest and sleep in the day. night shifts are more easy going, quiet and peaceful, you go work without traffic and go back home also, you have empty grocery stores, that alone is saving you hours of time weekly, not to mention you have extra night shift bonus

One person I listen to a lot about health and longevity is Dr. Peter Attia. He was a resident (might not have that correct, doesn't matter) in Baltimore and driving home realised he wasn't fit to do so. So he pulled over and went to have a short nap in a park. I think in his scrubs. Woke up several hours later with various nasty things around him including used syringes.... He actually references this story a lot given how much he now advocates for good sleep as a foundation of our health and the irony of him spending so much time sleep deprived while trying to help people feel better!

I woke up when I hit the barrier at the sharp curve on the on ramp of the freeway. I didn't hurt myself and my very old pick up truck had only superficial damage. Yes, we got lucky. Someone was watching over us maybe. I quit before my luck ran out. I'm still a nurse, but just work day shifts.

My mom worked night shift for years and always talked about how driving home at night, during the holidays was the easiest because of the lights- something cheerful to help her make it home. She said it was always so hard to drive home because it was just dark and cold and hard to pay attention. I keep my Christmas lights on until the end of January now. You´re so right- I am rubbish at staying awake and could never do a nightshift. I´m so grateful for all those workers who work those necessary shifts.

I am a nurse and worked night shift my first year and a half. While I was ok in the beginning, I started feeling really creepy as the time progressed. I was always bloated, depressed, had low energy, and more forgetful. I switched to day shift after 1.5 years and started feeling like myself again. In the meantime, I thought about switching departments, trying new avenues, but that would mean moving back to night shift. So, I have decided that my physical and mental health are more important than getting into a more desirable department…

I was sick all my life, the typical story of tons of trauma the first 7 years, starting in utero, manifested tons of medical issues, addictions, depression, anxiety, etc. the medical community failed me, after 10 surgeries, my thyroid shut down permanently with radiation, 5 autoimmune diseases I decided my only chance was to heal myself, started therapy in 2013, changed my entire life, I changed my diet, my habits, everything. I’ve been listening to my body and interestingly I started noticing that I didn’t sleep well (had decades of chronic insomnia) if I stayed up too late, I go to bed at 8:00 pm and get up at 4:00 am. I also noticed I didn’t do well with artificial lights or emfs from computers etc. I got rid of my tv and WiFi and that helped, I started going to bed when it got dark and started sleeping, prior to sleep I read or meditate, I like to listen to podcasts like this during the day but I basically just listen and don’t watch. I don’t drink alcohol or caffeine, I eat an organic, plant based diet (works for me) i stop eating by 2:00 or 3:00 every day sometimes by noon. I get out daily in nature, I live very simply and I have healed so much I don’t even feel like the same person. Modern life is not healthy

Steel worker here- the crazy thing my union voted for was to swing from days one week, to nights the next, and then back again. 4 on, 4 off. I never feel good and developed chronic ezcema/hives since this schedule took affect. I worked from 2pm-10pm before starting here and had the best sleep and health I had, always went to the gym, and my coworkers thought I was crazy for picking that shift over daylights. I make over 6 figures, BUT I want my health back and every other career I interviewed for is a huge pay cut. Its insane

It’s terrible how a lot of the world does not respect our sleep. I quit my last job because of waking up on average at 3-4 am, and not going to bed because I’d get home around 7-8 and not have enough time to get my things done and wind down, which resulted in me going to bed way too late. The workplace disrespects our time away from work heavily.

I did 39 yrs of nursing, most on second shift. Refused to work for hospitals like UTMB in Galveston that demands 12 hr shift and flipping hours so noone is constantly on a shift. Obesity is rampant there. When I was bullied to do 12 hr shifts, made it 11A - 11p. Too many nights drove home with right tires on rumble strip to try to stay awake, also had a sign for dashboard saying too tired to drive safely and put work ID next to it for law enforcement when I had to stop. Really think hospitals need to see this and understand they are killing nurse, especially when they demand overtime or meetings during sleep times. Too many nurses after 15 years on the job are on antidepressants and energy drinks to get through the day. Change the Healthcare system , Kristen!!!

I'm honestly not convinced by the 'night owl' depression, lack of motivation talk. Maybe if all you're doing is staying up and watching movies and eating junk, but then that's just a characteristic of those human's. Not everyone who stays up late is lazy. I'm absolutely a night own, but I don't suffer from depression and as a songwriter, theatre maker, orchestrator, I have a lot of motivation. It's one thing my friends find inspiring about me. You'll find this with a lot of creatives - so many of us choose to work at night, because the world is quieter and you can think better without distractions. And you get satisfaction in having created something and completing a task.

As a fellow night owl, I agree. Some people are naturally night owls and it makes sense at an evolutionary level to have people who are more suited to be awake during the night and their circadian rhythm reflects that. Some people have "Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome" where their circadian rhythm makes them naturally inclined and adapted to go to bed later and wake up later. I believe people who are night owls naturally would get sick by trying to be day people, that seems to be people's personal accounts after trying to "fit" into the norm.

@DannyP407 Ай бұрын

Yeah, but what are the actual statistics on that you said some people have this syndrome, but is it 1% 2% 10%? How do you know that you also have it is that what you’re saying when you say that you are a natural night owl? Have you attempted the other way around? I think she was refuting the statement that many people make that their night owls because it’s easy to believe that when the night is just filled with free time and you say to yourself OK there’s no need to go to sleep right now, so I might as well entertain myself or work on my hobby or side project.

I just got hip to this podcast last month. My brother sent me the interview you did with Busta Rhymes. I subscribed to the channel and I’ve been watching you work. What you’ve mastered is taking people to vulnerable and uncomfortable places, without forcing them, just by asking the difficult questions that most don’t, not because you want to pry, but because you care. You’ve created a space where people feel safe and they trust you. That’s a rare feat in these times bro. Keep up the good work.

@take7upyours822 Ай бұрын

The problem is, everybody has a different idea of what values are. And not everybody takes up the golden rule mantra of treat others how you want to be treated. It all sounds dandy, until you realize there's loads of self centered people out there. Especially the types who use social issues as a pass to be ego centric and insufferable twats just because they care about some issue. At the end of the day, people are self serving and out for themselves. It's too bad the exceptions to that are not the rule. Also goals are not bs. Goals keep you focused on a real purpose. Goals are only bs to those who don't want to get off the couch or get over their bad habits. Having a goal and working towards it instantly separates you from all the aimless losers out there, wasting away.

She states we're all daytime folk but no matter what I try I have NEVER been able to sleep early in the night. Ever since I was a toddler I have always been a night person. I remember my mum telling me she'd put the washing machine or tumble dryer on so the hypnotic spinning would help me sleep. At school I was late everyday, falling asleep in class. Always in trouble for never doing homework or concentrating in lessons, I would then find sitting still in classrooms so unbearable I would walk out of school and go for walks, which of course lead to more detentions. I am not convinced we are all 'daytime folk'

I had the same childhood but my father was the one and mother didn't protect us. Thank you for being authentic because many many of understand this and what you have shared is very important. I have struggled with my sleep issues my whole life. Hypersomnia and sleep apnea, alpha-delta sleep, type 2 diabetes, and more. I too chose not to drink 31 years ago. I am 64. I am always interested in understanding sleep and becoming as healthy as I can. I would also add here from my own experience, I love science. I believe I love science because in such a disfunctional household, you are told or expected to believe one thing, when you see something very different with your own eyes. Science is based on facts, until something new is discovered, it is what it is. An example would be, "Oh your mom just has the flu" when actually she went into the bedroom at about noon yesterday with a full bottle of Jack and hasn't been seen upright since. At 8 I read up on alcoholism. I said "dad it says right here you are an alcoholic," pointing to the page, "You just need to stop drinking." He Looked at me and laughed.

Having to grow up teaching myself with both parents on drugs and such my entire childhood, the words she spoke related a lot to me. My mom has used everything from oxy-cotton to being a alcoholic now. My dad used to be on herion and meth. Just a lot of stuff leached into my life as a child, and I was completely aware before I even turned 7 of it all seeing drugs be sold out my house and more. This helped me get where I am now at 20yrs old with a 3.8 GPA in a Eletrical Engineeeing program at a really good university. I have many other skills such as digital design/drawing. I also did dual enrollment with 2 colleges in high school learning welding and mechanical engineering. A lot of this stuff I have posted on my youtube channel. I have trouble getting along with everyday people who have had a so-called decent life because of my childhood. I needed to eat and needed to push myself past my peers to have a ok life. But it has given me the ability to live a life that is free in my own way, not being controlled by parents or anyone and I know who I am and what I want unlike most my age.

Self discipline, be it sleep, food, excersize, alcohol etc, can be a huge challenge for us humans, especially for those of us who lacked consistent appropriate structure & routine as children as well as adults modeling proper self discipline. Given our current society, this new information is alarming & speaks volumes about the importance of overhauling our educational system- for both adults & kids. Self care & the true workings of the human body, including our emotional care should be prioritized. It seems what little I learned in school, growing up in the 70's & 80's, wasn't even accurate.

A lot of the science is still not accurate, at least not for everyone. I got Afib, I believe, from not sleeping when I retired (at 57) and stayed up all night fighting the trolls trying to destroy Bernie Sanders' candidacy. Since I had no others risk factors, my doc let me not take any meds, but once I hit 62, they wanted to put me on blood thinners bc age and being female were risks factors for blood clots. Since I've been symptom free 6 years I have turned down the medicines and keep my blood thin with garlic, tumeric ginger, herb teas, and omega 3s. My heart is still good, and I believe it was bc I did not go on meds I'm Afib free. I also did not take the mRNA or any COVID vacs due to sensitivities to meds in general. I got Omicron last year with a fairly mild case. I ate six cloves of garlic a day, which I swear by. The whole approach to COVID, imo, was botched by "science," imo; we still have a long way to go before science can free itself from the power of big pharma
