Read an article in a magazine that lack of sleep will cause memory lapse and declining concentration level. Apparently there was a study done on 2 groups of people. They were given something to memorize. One group is allowed to rest in between while the other had to stay awake. The group who had rest were able to recall the details confidently while the latter group had difficulty remembering the same details.
Does that mean cabin crew have higher chance of suffering from memory lapses due to the irregular sleeping patterns, which indirectly contribute to lack of sleep 'cos most crew have difficulty adjusting to the different time zone? No wonder cabin crew are paid higher than most other job of simmilar nature. It's probably to compensate for the health hazards that crew face: irregular sleeping patterns, irregular meals, drier skin due to dry cabin air, extreme weather conditions around the world, etc... No wonder we have difficulty remembering even the crew we have just flown with 2 days ago! Ha ha ha...
Well, every job has it's hazards as well as rewarding moments. Whenever I see customers get off the aircraft with a great smile on their faces or when they shook my hands thanking me for making their journey lovely, that makes all the above-mentioned experiences worthwhile. That's what kept me on this job till now...
