4 day's... your still a virgin.
Jesus fuck why would you start this thread... i really thought about ignoring it lol ....i just can't
Why do i feel im experienced to make a comment. Well 20 years iv worked nights/days the last 6 years have been directly night shift, no sun , all vampire just recently 9 months ago i hung up the gloves for night shift. I said no more. My night shifts were 15 to 16 hr shifts and there not easy shifts, i work in the oil patch not the cabbage patch so its full tilt all night long.
Night shift has been researched to lower your life expectancy, thays a researched proven fact.
Your body functions around your circadian rhythm, everything evolves around that, your circadian clock means at bedtime
your cortisol is lowest this isnt your bedtime in the morning if thats when you sleep, this means when the sun goes down and around midnight your bodys cortisol is the lowest, so you can sleep this means your melatonin is the highest at this time to help you sleep, Theres so many body functions that are designed to work based on your circadian Rhythm, your thyroid for one is based on your circadian rhythm and when your tsh is supposed to release its hormones etc to cortisol and to blood surgar and all your hormones, all based on your circadian rhythm.
This means when you work nights you throw that entire sytem off balance, you shift and move and change your hormones, as an example of one, lets use cortisol, think of a water bed, sit on one side and what happens to the other? That's what happens when you shift your hormones especially cortisol, if your cortisol is supposed to be lowest at night before bed and you are now working and being stressed or stimulating your acth and producing and using your other hormones then you are now raising that cortisol. That means that in the morning when your cortisol is supposed to be the highest its now the lowest, but this takes time to throw it off, as you can imagine all other systems amd hormones now change during this time. Blood sugar is another, now your eating at night when your supposed to be sleeping... as you can imagine over time alot of this stuff is going to fuck you up, i can personally garuntee it. I could talk hrs on this but ill just leave it short as possible i think you get the point.
TIPS AND TRICKS
1. don't work nightshift.
2. Don't fucking work nightshift
3. If you must work night shift, then alternate day shift and night shift , meaning 7 on days then 7 on night's or 24 on dayshift then days off and 24 on nights.
4. On the days your off , RESET YOUR CIRCADIAN RHYTHM, use melatonin at night before bed and restart your clock, this is a proven fact and one of the best ways to get back on track.
5. Avoid high glycemic foods at night, switch to ither low or high fat diets at night , do yoir very best to always use the basic knowledge of your circadian rhythm and keep it as natural as you can.
6. DO NOT DRINK CAFFEINE AT NIGHT. caffine alters cortisol and over time will just make you more exhausted.
7. Help your self and take some decent blood surgar supplements well your on nights, cortisol and bloodsurgar are extremely tight like best friends so if your stressed often or stressed at times you shouldn't be like when your supposed to be sleeping then theres going to be issues like insulin resistance. So take some supplements to help, little berbine or ginger or Cinnamon cylon something to help.
8. Incase i didnt say it already, learn aboit circadian rhythm, stay as true to it as possible and always work on resetting your self back , and never stay on night shift, longer then a month without going back on days for at least the same amount of time you were on nights.
Hope this helps.
