it can cause exhaustion and soooo much more.. we were actually just learning about this yesterday.. your body never adjusts to this.. EVER.. even if you did it for 100 years.. change your job hunni.. or retire if you're ready... save what's left of your health..
oo.. and take a well deserved vacation!!

I watched my sister-in-law work rotating shifts at a paper mill for over 30 years. Didn't seem to affect her health at all.

That kind of rotation would drive me bloody crazy. I have a feeling you will be exhausted physically and mentally from having to change sleeping patterns and eating patterns often.

Hi, I have read that working rotating shifts acually increases the risk of colon cancer, I don't remember how much, but it was something I remember reading.
