If you are on permanent graveyard shift, that's going to play havoc with your cortisol levels, with general health effects as well as possible weight gain. It won't do depression any good either. Personally, I'd like to see jobs with permanent night work banned... they are just not natural. You might just reverse the declining health problems.
I think Bryony has a good point here. Your sleep quality level can really decline when you're continually working the graveyard shift. Our bodies tend to get much better sleep during the night than during the daytime.
