Yeah, we were kind of doing it backwards in the Western world. Yeah, the science suggests that it's late morning, early afternoon when our bodies tend to be most ready to handle those incoming calories. And late at night, things start shutting down. Our insulin levels drop. Our other hormones that our bodies release to help increase.

handle incoming calories and metabolize and break down fat, those things, those are weaker. And this is why scientists are suggesting we really should be eating in a narrower window of time and earlier in the day. One scientist talked about a sweet spot of like 10 hours during the day. If we can do that, if you could eat from, say, you know, 10 a.m. or 9 a.m.

to 7 p.m., that is really ideal to help Strengthen your circadian rhythms and potentially, based on some research that's coming out, that may improve your long-term health, your longevity, decrease your risk of developing chronic disease.

Right. So for the majority of us that are not extreme night owls, working at night is going contrary to what our body is primed to do. We're telling our body we need to be alert and awake and probably, you know, digesting food and doing all these things throughout the night when those parts of our physiology are essentially shut down. They're not ready for that.

So it's perhaps not a surprise, and scientists now have data to back this up, but that is throwing off our metabolism, which then drives up rates of obesity and diabetes.

And having those cues chronically coming in at the wrong times of day, at night versus daytime for most of us, just over the long term, it's the subtle kind of constant destruction that it's doing to our rhythms and our physiology that's counting on those rhythms to do its job.

Yeah, as we're understanding the impacts, we are understanding better what kinds of strategies shift workers could use to mitigate the impacts. And indeed, I mean, a lot depends on what kind of shift the worker is doing. And if they're trying to flip-flop, let's say they're doing a night shift for three days and then they want to leave.
