Red Bull is terrible for anyones health , remove the toxins & starting eating

organic veggies and fruit. You will see a big difference

I have a brother-in-law that has worked nights for a year and a half now and we

are beginning to see his health decline. He drinks way too much Red Bull and

I'm wondering if he is starting to show signs of adrenal exhaustion.

His symptoms are: dizziness, blackouts, then a weird chemical smell after

blackout, chest tightness & pain, footing off balance and fatigue.

If he starts any supplements when would be the best time for him to take them

since he works nights?

Any advise would be appreciated.

Thanks,

I was forced to work a night shift for a year and it was terrible! All I can

suggest is to work on getting 7 to 8 hours of sleep a day. All windows in the

bedroom must be blacked out and all light emitting objects need to be removed.

I used ear plugs and a sleeping mask as well.

Diet needs to be healthy. There must be exercise. Lots of water to stay

hydrated.

My health deteriorated while I was working the night shift. It was awful.

My best to your BIL.

I found that my health improved by working night shift - but not my social

life.

I got up, had breakfast, went to work at 11:20 pm. Had a (very) light lunch

at 3 a.m. After work I went surfing (it was morning). Then I had dinner,

relaxed and went to bed at about 2pm in my dark, silent room. Ear plugs, eye

mask and own noise making device (to blot out everything else) may be

required.
