Night Shift Challenges . . . .

Working night shifts requires individuals, especially older adults, to prioritize self-care. Regular exercise, adequate sleep, and healthy eating are vital for maintaining health. While many maintain daytime sleep schedules on off-days, some benefit from reverting to nighttime sleep, potentially aided by melatonin and minimal alcohol. Regular health exams are essential.
