Doctors warned that shift workers have poor sleep quality and long-term mental distress, and are likely to become a high-risk group.

Brain chaos

During sleep, the human brain performs repair work, including protein synthesis, tissue repair, cell division and secretion of growth hormone. When the brain is not properly rested, neurotransmitters that stimulate wakefulness will continue to be active. Over time, it will cause physical and psychological damage, including impaired memory, vigilance and judgment, immune dysfunction, and endocrine imbalance.

In addition, when you lack sleep, you have twice the risk of developing hypertension, three times the risk of ischemic heart disease, four times the risk of stroke, and a high risk of depression. When you don't concentrate, it is easy to cause fatigue driving or public security accidents.
