All other workers. Particularly those working over the standard 8 hours, spending long periods of time sedentary, and with extended computer screen time.
Why? This has been shown to increase your chances of aligning your inbuilt body clock (circadian rhythm) with night-shift hours by 200%.
The benefit: Circadian alignment has been shown to balance moods and energy, support healthy sleep, digestion, and weight management, and also significantly reduce your risk of developing chronic illness.
Circadian alignment occurs when our innate body clocks (hormone secretions that control sleep, energy, digestion, mood, alertness, etc.) match the time of day we are waking and sleeping. This has traditionally been mostly out of reach for shift-workers due to the nature of their rosters. However, research shows that exposure to bright lights (medium to intense light for 40 minutes every hour for 6h) allowed 85-100% of participants to achieve complete circadian alignment (based on melatonin secretion timing).
