Shift workers frequently struggle with sleep disturbances and fatigue, and this can lead to mood disorders, metabolic disturbances, cognitive problems, which can affect overall wellness as well as on-the-job performance. This workshop looks at how long-term shift work can affect our physiological and mental health, and how we can best mitigate the associated negative side effects. Using the current scientific literature, as well as Ruhi’s field research based on her longitudinal self-study on how shift work has affected her own wellness, this interactive, information-based workshop explores how everything from exercise and meditation to diet changes can help shift workers cope with the many challenges of shift work.
