There is clinical evidence that working shift work does affect people. You can look up articles on medical research websites that will explain it. From memory, I think the change in sleep pattern/cycle creates the biggest negative affect.
Here is an excerpt from a medical abstract I found on PubMed:
Schwartz JR, Roth T.
Integris Sleep Disorder Center and University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73109, USA.
More than 6 million Americans work night shifts on a regular or rotating basis. The negative consequences of shift work have been established, and recent evidence suggests that patients with shift work sleep disorder (SWSD) are at increased risk of these consequences and co-morbidities. SWSD is a relatively common but under-recognised, and hence undertreated, condition with potentially serious medical, social, economic and quality-of-life consequences. In addition to increased risk of gastrointestinal and cardiovascular disease, patients with SWSD experience clinically significant excessive sleepiness or insomnia associated with work during normal sleep times, which has important safety implications.

Night is meant to sleep and your body needs rest, after a hard day work. This is law of nature.

Lack of vitamin D due to not getting enough sunlight.
That's the only thing I can think of aside from not getting enough sleep.
Hope this helps.

Yes. Irregular sleep, irregular food habits will slowlely affect one's health. Irritation, fatigue etc. will creep in.
