title: Doing night shifts: the good, the bad and just coping.
abstract: Working night shifts can play havoc with a person's health and well-being. Research published in April found that female nurses in the United States, who worked rotating night shifts for 10 years or longer, had a 15% or higher increased risk of coronary heart disease compared with women who did not work night shifts.
