Sleep patterns, daily rhythms, and health in petrochemical shift workers

AI simplified

Abstract

The prevalence of musculoskeletal, gastrointestinal, and cardiovascular disorders was significantly higher in morning types than evening types (p<0.05).

  • Morning-type shift workers may experience more health disorders compared to evening types.
  • Cognitive failures and sleep quality showed significant differences between morning and evening chronotypes (p<0.05).
  • Evening-type individuals may adapt better to shift work and experience fewer negative health impacts.
  • The findings suggest that circadian typology could influence the assignment of workers to shifts.
