Abstract：
Shift work is essential in many industries but often comes at the cost of disrupted sleep and circadian misalignment. Irregular schedules reduce total sleep time, impair sleep quality, and cause excessive sleepiness, which in turn affects cognitive performance, vigilance, and mental health.
My speech will explore the health challenges faced by shift workers, focusing on how irregular schedules disrupt sleep and circadian rhythms. I will discuss the consequences of circadian misalignment on metabolic health, highlighting increased risks of obesity, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes. Cardiovascular outcomes such as hypertension, arrhythmias, coronary artery disease, and stroke will also be emphasized, along with evidence linking long-term night work to certain cancers. In addition, I will address the psychological impact, including fatigue, reduced vigilance, and mood disorders. Finally, the lecture will present strategies to mitigate these risks, including optimized scheduling, controlled light exposure, lifestyle modification, and selective use of pharmacological aids.
