Work is an activity done consciously to earn income used to pay the cost of daily life as well as save money for the future. Working is very important now. There are lots of people competing to get any job. Even though they no longer have an exact working system or hours. Takes for example there is work during the day, but many workers also work at night nowadays. Everybody seems to enjoy working in the daylight. However, work performed at night raises a lot of pros and cons in the community.
For some people, working at night is not a problem at all because there are some benefits that can be obtained. One of them is, that it can increase productivity. It is because when they work at night; there will be little or even no interference that could interrupt their work, so those night workers will be focused on completing their work. In addition, it makes the job finished more quickly. By working at night, the brain will focus on the work. As a result, the job will be finished faster because of the absence of interference that can hinder their work. Moreover, the atmosphere of the night which is peaceful and away from the noise makes the mind become calm, so no wonder a lot of thought or new innovations emerge during the night.
However, not everyone agrees with the night system. Those who do not agree with this bad habit notice that it can cause so many disadvantages to health. One of them is, that it disturbs sleep schedule. Indeed, nighttime is used for sleep and rest, so when it is used to work, then the next day the body will become weak and sleepy at all times.
Besides that, it also results in some changes in the body’s metabolism, for example, the decrease of the leptin hormone. This hormone is a substance that serves to control weight, blood sugar, and insulin in the body. As a result, the body will be getting in trouble, if there is a lack of this hormone. Consequently, the body will become increasingly thin. Moreover, it may increase the risk of depression. Various studies have revealed that it adversely affected the mental health of human beings, namely depression. Furthermore, they found that working at night may increase the risk of mood swings and unstable person’s condition, so they are more easily getting stressed. Even worse, this activity can lead to cancer. At the night, the body will produce melatonin hormone, which is produced while sleeping, so if the body is not rested, then the hormones will not be produced. As a result, there is a hormonal imbalance in the body that would trigger cancer.
Although working at night has its advantages, however, there are also losses that are triggered by this bad habit. Therefore, it is better to maintain a healthy body because even though we have a lot of money if our body is not healthy, then it does not mean at all.
