AI simplified

Abstract

Shift workers reported higher compared to non-shift workers.

  • Sleep inertia scores were significantly higher in shift workers than in non-shift workers after adjusting for depressive symptoms, sleepiness, insomnia, and chronotype.
  • Depressive symptoms and sleepiness were found to predict sleep inertia in both shift and non-shift workers.
  • The influence of depressive symptoms on sleep inertia was stronger in shift workers than in non-shift workers.
  • Chronotype had a more significant impact on sleep inertia in non-shift workers compared to shift workers.
  • The relationship between depressive symptoms or chronotype and sleep inertia was mediated by sleepiness, with variations based on work schedules.
