I have just been "red carded" by my GP after 30 years of night shift working. It is his contention that anyone over 50 should not be doing night shifts as part of a regular rotating shift pattern as it is injurious to your health. I have certainly found that it has been more and more difficult to get over the effects of night shift working after the age of 48. NATS are sympathetic to the situation however service delivery is paramount and therefore the aim is to get me back on nights as quickly as possible.
