Health Care

the 24/7 workforce suffers increased health risks such as digestive problems, diabetes, heart disease, sleep disorders and depression. Shift workers tend to use coping substances and food to help them deal with the challenges of staying alert, particularly when working night shifts, and sleeping during daytime. The downside to this is that overuse of caffeine and alcohol, two of the most widely abused coping substances, can cause other health problems and ultimately have a negative impact on performance at work as well as overall health.
