The 21st Century is marked by the advent of modern technology, international trade and commerce, and the unwavering desire to find and stay afloat. Because of business, companies compete in a world where the economy works 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This situation created a need for workers who would work even late night. This app restored the lifestyle of the workers, make the day their bedtime. Flexibility can disrupt normal bodily functions, disrupt sleep cycles, and lower serotonin levels in the body. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter found in the central nervous system and affects many functions such as mood, sleep and appetite. Neurotransmitter will also promote cell regeneration.
Studies show that non-daily shift workers tend to have lower levels of the “feel good” hormone called serotonin. Researchers of University of Buenos Aires led by Dr. Carlos J, Parole studied 683 men and compared 437- day workers with 246 working shifts. In the results, the serotonin levels of the shift workers, measured by blood tests, were much lower than those of normal days. In addition to reduced serotonin levels, shift workers were also found to have higher cholesterol, hip to waist ratio, increased blood pressure, and higher triglyceride levels.
Because serotonin levels regulate sleep patterns and other bodily functions, a University of Buenos Aires study suggested that shifting work could lead to what is called Shift Work Sleep Disorder. People in this condition often stay awake when they need to sleep. People may be very tired at bedtime. This disturbance occurs due to a work schedule that occurs during normal sleep time. As a result, people have difficult in sleeping because their bodies are set to stay awake. The time for sleep and waking is different from what is expected of an internal body clock.
Other studies have also found that abnormal activity and night shifts may affect the cardiovascular system. These studies suggest that shift work may be responsible for high blood pressure and increased body fat, according to researchers from the Buenos Aires study. In addition to disturbing sleep routine, reduced serotonin levels are also linked to other conditions such as depression, anxiety, and depression.
Lifestyle changes lead to improved levels of serotonin. To make serotonin levels stable, sleep patterns must be consistent and dietary supplements should include the vitamins and minerals needed to control serotonin levels. Drugs and substances such as caffeine, nicotine, alcohol, and antidepressants should be avoided as they may inhibit serotonin production.
People to improve their serotonin levels can use medications to help them with their goal. The amino acid 5-HTP can be use as a supplement and improve the body's ability to produce serotonin. An amino acid known as L-tryptophan is used by the body to produce serotonin. Even, before taking these supplements, patients are advised to seek the approval of doctors and other health professionals. People who choose to work at night should get sufficient rest to minimize the possible negative consequences. Healthy lifestyles and nutritious foods can improve serotonin levels and improve a person's quality of life.
