If people in the medical world really believed this they wouldn’t have all constant shift changes common to most hospitals. It is easy to adjust to most shifts than change all the time.

Not so! I retired from 31 years of constant rotating shifts. 8 hours for several years, then a 12 hour shifts. The last were the worst.
4 nights of 12 hrs. 1 1/2 days off. Three days of 12 hr shift three days off. Then three nights of 12 hour shift, 1 1/2 day off, then 4 nights of 12 hr shifts.
This was a killer! I often woke up after three hrs sleep in the middle of the night (working days) and often only got 4 hr’s sleep while working nights. and I also kept falling asleep at work. My health broke and I almost suffered heart attacks in this time.
When I retired It took me almost 6 months to catch up on sleep, and my sleep patterns are still skewered.
