I have worked as a truck driver for about 15 years and have realized that sitting down for up to 16 hours per day can't be good for me. However, now I also realize that disrupting the circadian rhythm is also very bad --- a notion that I dismissed for years. This means that truckers get a multiple health whammy --- little exercise, disrupted circadian rhythm as well as the physical hazards of always being on the road. I guess I should be thanking my lucky stars that I am still alive and well. Ok, now I must run and buy some lottery tickets! That is really bad news for me.
