Sleep Reactivity and Sleep Efforts in Shift Workers

Objective The current study aimed to investigate the differences in sleep reactivity and effort differs among late night shift workers (LSWs) non-late (non-LSWs), non-shift (non-SWs).Methods In total, 6,023 participants (1,613 non-SWs, 3,339 LSWs, 1,071 non-LSWs) were recruited. Non-SWs was defined as those who works at fixed schedules during standard daylight. LSWs work hours (10 <sub>PM</sub>–6 <sub>AM</sub>), while non-LSWs SWs did not night. All completed Ford Insomnia Response Stress Test (FIRST), Glasgow Sleep Effort Scale (GSES), Pittsburgh Quality Index (PSQI), Epworth Sleepiness (ESS), Severity (ISI), short-term Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression scale (CES-D) through online survey.Results reported higher FIRST, GSES scores than non-SWs. addition, non-LSWs. FIRST correlated with CES-D, PSQI, ISI, ESS non-LSWs, non-SWs alike. also alike.Conclusion showed had these variables are associated insomnia, daytime sleepiness, depressive symptoms. Our findings suggests that schedule, may increase effort, which mood disturbances.
