OK short term but comes with increased risk of all cause mortality if you stick to it for long (especially after 5 years, it rises exponentially if more than 20 years).
The World Health Organization (WHO) classifies night shift work as a Group 2A “probable carcinogen.” Suppressing melatonin (the sleep hormone) via artificial light at night disrupts natural cellular repair, increases oxidative stress, and alters DNA repair mechanisms, increasing the long-term risk of cancers (particularly breast, prostate, and colorectal cancers).
Best to keep it to less than 5 years to minimize risk. Employers should ve compensating substantially if it’s longer than that.
I want to work at a CHILL JOB where I can TAKE IT EASY and FINISH WHENEVER.
Have you considered night shift?
I mean, yes it’ll destroy your sleep schedule but it is very chill.
