Abstract
Around 21% of workers reported working on shifts in 2017.
- Shift workers experience multiple sleep disturbances, including excessive sleepiness and insomnia.
- These disturbances can lead to shift work disorder and worsen other sleep disorders.
- Common exacerbated conditions include obstructive sleep apnea, restless legs syndrome, and nonrapid eye movement parasomnia.
- Compliance to treatment is often poor due to only temporary relief of sleep disturbances.
