Night work could damage your health
A new study suggests working shifts at night can be damaging to one's
health. In particular, it increases the risk of several cancers, diabetes, mental
illnesses, and various heart diseases.
Researchers from the Sleep Research Centre at the U.K.'s University of
Surrey discovered that many genes in the body needed to follow a regular 24-
hour cycle, during which the body sleeps at night. If this cycle is broken, up to
1,500 genes could get damaged, eventually resulting in potentially life-
threatening diseases.
Professor Derk-Jan Dijk said: "The study has important implications
because we now need to discover why these rhythms exist and think about the
consequences of that."
The human body has around 24,000 genes. Many of these switch off if
the body does not follow a regular sleeping pattern. This can cause parts of the
immune system to become less efficient, making us more susceptible to
illnesses.
Study co-author Dr Simon Archer said: "Over 97 per cent of rhythmic
genes become out-of-sync with mistimed sleep, which really explains why we
feel so bad during jet lag or if we have to work irregular shifts."
Dr Dijk said that despite the results of the research, it would be difficultfor people to change their lifestyles. He explained it was difficult for society to

function without people working night shifts, but said people needed to
understand the dangers and "mitigate the impact".
