You are more prone to more health issues.One of the top disadvantages of being a night shift nurse is the adverse effects it has on your health. A common problem among night shift nurses is their propensity to develop health issues, such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes, due to metabolic changes that result from lack of sleep. Night shift nursing can also affect a nurse's eyesight because of working in such dim lighting. Night shift nurses are also at greater risk for developing age-related macular degeneration than nurses who work regular day shifts. Wow, who knew working nights could be so bad for you.Ĥ. You may gain weight.Numerous studies have shown that nurses who work nights have a tendency to gain weight. Female nurses who worked the night shift were more likely to become obese than their counterparts who worked during regular hours. Researchers theorized that environmental factors associated with working overnight could contribute to weight gain. I don’t know about you, but I never thought that I would be gaining some extra pounds when I accepted a nighttime job.ĥ.
You may be pretty tired.Working the night shift can leave you feeling utterly exhausted. Keep in mind that the more tired you are the more likely you will be to make a mistake. You might think it wouldn't be all that tough, but when you are pushing through the day to get back to your regular life after working all night, it can feel much more challenging than you expected.
