Hello and welcome to HCM,
Working at night during night shifts will not per se cause damage to health.
Associated factors are more important in causing bad effect on health.
If you are awake during night, you need to take adequate sleep during day.
Taking adequate sleep is very important.
Maintaining good health and good nutrition are equally important.
Taking regular exercises and sufficient fluids are also important.
Rest you will have to modify your lifestyle according to your work schedule.

Thanks and take care
