Shift Work Dulls Brain Performance
davidshenba writes: Scientists warn that working in unusual shifts can prematurely age the brain and dull intellectual ability. Three thousand people in France were given tests of memory, speed of thought and wider cognitive ability.

The brain naturally dulls as we age, but the researchers said working antisocial shifts accelerated the process.

ISIS taunts the US as a recruitment strategy because they know you're not willing to take the kind of casualties necessary to go back in and squash them).
