Researchers say working overnight creates a biological conflict with the body's internal clock, potentially increasing the risk of dementia, heart disease, diabetes, and even cancer. Scientists are now investigating whether biphasic sleep, splitting sleep into two periods, could help reduce these health risks.
The latest research explores the glymphatic system, amyloid and tau proteins, melatonin, and why experts believe new clinical guidelines could help millions of shift workers improve their health and performance.
