Abstract

Women's busy schedules are often a reflection of their multiple roles and responsibilities, balancing work, family, personal goals, and social commitments. Many women juggle demanding careers, household duties, caregiving responsibilities (for children, elderly parents, or others), and social activities. This can leave little time for themselves, leading to stress, exhaustion, and difficulty in maintaining a work-life balance.

Women who work night shifts have a higher chance of getting cancer, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and reproductive problems than women who work during standard working hours, according to epidemiological studies.

Women working night shifts face a unique set of challenges, both physical and emotional, that can affect their health, well-being, and work-life balance. The problems associated with night shifts are often more pronounced for women due to hormonal, family, and societal factors like

Sleep Disruption and Fatigue, Health Problems, Mental Health and Emotional Well-Being, Family and Caregiving Strain, Impact on Relationships, Nutritional and Eating Challenges, Safety and Risk of Accidents.
