"Working an irregular shift pattern may be causing
long-term damage to people’s memory
and mental abilities, new research has shown.
Shift work can disrupt the body’s internal clock in a similar way to jet lag, and has been linked before to an increased risk of health problems such as heart problems and even some cancers.
However, scientists have now found a link between working shifts and a decline in brain function – especially among those whose shifts rotated between morning, afternoon and night.
The level of cognitive decline seen in people who worked irregular shifts for 10 years was equivalent to six and a half years’ worth of natural, age-related cognitive decline,...
It has also been suggested that night shift workers may be more susceptible to vitamin D deficiencies because of reduced exposure to sunlight. Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to impaired brain function by some studies.
Researchers found that stopping shift work was linked with an improvement in cognitive function – suggesting that any ill effects are reversible – but said that it took five years out of shift work for this effect to be seen." TheIndependent
Well let's be honest...God designed work initially to be done during the day hours at the beginning & in the sunlight, which has to do to a degree with needed vitamin D. So the original DESIGN for man by the Creator works best after all.....

and there he put the man whom he had formed.
Genesis 2:8
And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife,
and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying,
Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake;...Thorns
also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee;

Everything is messed up because of the fall...even work
