Dr. Hamblin, I’m a police officer who works a night shift. A lot of police
departments have rotating (меняющиеся) schedules requiring (что требует)
officers to change from nights to days and back to nights again. My department
keeps us on the same shift indefinitely (неопределённое время) unless (если
только) we ask to change. Is there any research (исследование) or medical
opinion about working a rotating night-day schedule versus (в сравнении с)
working a consistent (постоянной) night shift?
Call him officer Nick. So, among people who do shift work, meaning (имеется

keep yourself sleeping at a consistent (последовательный) period within that
24 hour block, you should be better off (вам от этого должно стать только
лучше) than if you’re constantly (постоянно) moving yourself around.
Basically, it comes down to (всё сводится к) the question of why do we sleep?
We all have circadian cycles (циркадные/суточные циклы) which are the
result of ambient light (рассеянного света). When it gets dark outside, your
retinal cells (клетки сетчатки) stop perceiving (воспринимать) light, your
hypothalamus (гипоталамус) senses (чувствует) that tell your pineal gland
(эпифиз) to release (вырабатывает) melatonin, and go to sleep. Then in the
