Graveyard shifts and the sleep disorders they bring | 
If you’re working on a graveyard shift, it’ll definitely take its toll on your body.
Studies have proven that its not only sleep hours that matter, it’s also when and what time you sleep.
Sleep specialist Muqdad Zuriqat says that sleep disturbances occur in hormonal levels. This means that some hormones are only secreted during sleep. Thus, night shifts can disrupt the body clock due to hormonal imbalances.
Working instead of sleeping during night can cause abnormal hormonal secretions, and can even increase a person’s appetite.
Zuriqat says that the best way to avoid sleep disorders is to have a sleep schedule, a cool bedroom, and not to have distracting lights in the bedroom.
