Yeah. It's not that somebody has to have a job like in police department or firefighter or nurses. Of course, they are shift workers. Right. But then if we think about metabolically for our health, for our body, how our body is thinking, whether you're doing shift work or not, because our body is actually not checking whether you checked into your shift work or not. It's only checking two things.

Are you staying awake for two or more hours between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m.? Because that's when your body is designed to sleep. So are you up for two or more hours between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m.? And being engaged in some kind of work. Engaged in some sort of work. Some sort of work. You're not just lying in bed with your eyes open.

Of course, if your eyes are open and you're watching TV, that's also... Sure.

Because your body is not resting. And if you do that, on an average, once or twice a week, that is shift work. Because your habitual sleep time, suppose, is 11 o'clock every night. And once or twice, you are staying awake either till 1 o'clock in the morning. Or you're waking up at three or four o'clock in the morning to get to work or do something.

And now if we think about it, almost 70, 80% of us are shift worker or we are living the life of a shift worker. So if you look at the average person who's listening a day.

They are a shift worker. And if you think about now, let's become more granular. So who are at a high risk for this kind of disruption? All the high school students. Because over the last few years of the pandemic, what has happened is there is a lot of remote learning, and then the default time to submit your homework is now midnight. Yeah.

And then the same thing applies to all the college students. So starting from teeners, now we have literally institutionalized circadian disruption by making your homework submission time as midnight. Right. Then let's think about after young adults go and get a job. In many jobs, of course, they're staying up late or they're traveling. But let's think about women.
