Daily patterns of blood pressure in night shift workers

Circadian Biology Weekly Brief ↗PubMed ↗

Updated

Abstract

Blood pressure is lower during night shifts compared to day shifts, but this decrease is insignificant.

  • Night shift workers exhibit an average diurnal blood pressure pattern that resembles non-dippers, indicating insufficient nighttime reduction.
  • The reduction in blood pressure during night shifts does not reach levels observed in night sleepers.
  • Insufficient nighttime blood pressure decrease may be linked to potential health risks.
  • A slight drop in blood pressure while working night shifts could negatively impact work quality.
