I work long swings offshore. Typically 6 weeks and its 12hr days 7 days a week. Do you think these sort of prolonged extended shifts could affect brain function negatively.
Ive been looking for an excuse as to why I feel 'dumber' (see i cant even articulate properly) the longer I am away.
Unfortunately i dont see any sun working the 6-1800 shift locked away inside. Vit D deficiency? I also blame lack of mental stimulation. Gym and a book at night helps but I worry chasing the dollars may impact me in my senior years. Cheers
