In this video, Dr. Chris Harvey from the Sleep and Circadian Neuroscience (SCNi) institute at the University of Oxford looks at the effects that night shift work can have on your physical and mental health and wellbeing and the steps you and your employer can take in order to reduce the impact it can have.
This video was made by Martin Kohout and AQNB Productions as research for a larger narrative film project, 'Shifts'.
