Evidence of harm done by circadian rhythms disruption
 

Research just published January 10th at Oregon State University (OSU) provides evidence for the first time that disruption of circadian rhythms can clearly cause accelerated neurodegeneration, loss of motor function and premature death.

"When the biological clock begins to fail, rhythms that regulate cell function and health get disrupted, and we now know that this predisposes the brain to neurodegeneration," said Jadwiga Giebultowicz, an OSU professor of zoology, member of the OSU Center for Healthy Aging Research and project leader. "But that neurodegeneration, in turn, may cause more damage to the clock function.

Now combine a career of ULH with the same amount of years breathing the Hong Kong smog and all the money in the world won't save you.

...lack of lust....:{

Some EU based employers now get shift workering employees to sign waivers in their contracts from legal action due to increased risk of cancer and other life shortening conditions linked to sleep pattern disturbance.

Are we "neurodegeneration-prone mutants?"

So you'll be leaving then?

No way. With no kids or dependents this suits me just fine. Where else could I make this kind of money? Live fast and die fast. But at least I lived.

You call sitting in an aluminium tube for 7 hours at a stretch just so you can click off the autopilot and pull back slightly on the yoke or stick LIVING FAST?

Boy, you have low expectations!

A smidgen off the speed of sound for 7hrs in a row sounds fast to me!!
