Abstract
Fifteen nurses participated in assessments of their chronotypes and sleep patterns in relation to work shifts.
- Nurses were categorized into five chronotype groups: five in moderately morning shift, four in indifferent shift, two in moderately evening shift, three in evening shift, and one in morning shift.
- Shift work was linked to distinct eating and sleeping habits among nurses.
- The chronobiological profile did not reflect individual perceptions of sleep and work shifts.
- Night nurses exhibited greater sleep-wake cycle dysfunction, affecting the daily lives of all nurses.
