Shift work sleep disorder is associated with a higher prevalence of headaches, migraines, and tension type headaches. There is a relationship between breast cancer, prostate cancer, and colorectal cancer in those who work night shift.

Shift work increases risk of gastrointestinal diseases including peptic ulcer disease, gastroesophageal reflux disease, inflammatory bowel disease, and irritable bowel syndrome.

Those who work night shift commonly have poorer sleep quality and shorter sleep durations during the day that can be up to 4 hr. shorter than sleep during the night.

Night shift work can increase sensitivity to pain.

Depression, anxiety, and alcohol abuse is increased in shift workers.

Low fertility and issues during pregnancy are increased in shift workers.

Sleep loss seen in shift workers greatly impairs cognitive performance and being awake for 24 hrs. straight results in a cognitive performance that is equal to a blood-alcohol of 0.10, which is over the legal limit in most states.
