A new study has brought scientists closer to finding out why working night shifts increases your risk of developing diabetes and other metabolic disorders. The study revealed that just three days of being on a night shift schedule will disrupt metabolism. This disruption appears to be driven by separate biological clocks (so-called peripheral oscillators) in the liver, gut and pancreas, rather than the brain's master clock.
