Night workers, who make up 27% of the UK workforce, face significant health risks, including higher chances of heart attacks and decreased fertility, yet little awareness exists.
Circadian rhythms are crucial for health, and the struggle between sleeping during the day and working at night can lead to severe health issues, including obesity and memory loss.
Despite research indicating that 97% of night workers cannot fully adjust, many believe in the adaptability to night shifts, revealing a significant misunderstanding of the issue.
The economic cost of sleep deprivation among night workers is substantial, estimated to be around £20 billion per year, highlighting urgent need for recognition and change.
