How Shift Workers’ Sleep is Affected by Stress and Trying to Sleep

AI simplified

Abstract

A total of 6,023 participants were recruited to investigate differences in and among late night shift workers.

  • Late night shift workers (LSWs) and non-late night shift workers (non-LSWs) reported higher sleep reactivity and sleep effort compared to non-shift workers (non-SWs).
  • LSWs exhibited greater sleep reactivity and effort than non-LSWs.
  • Higher sleep reactivity and sleep effort scores for all groups were correlated with insomnia, daytime sleepiness, and depressive symptoms.
  • The findings suggest that working late night hours may increase sleep reactivity and sleep effort, which are linked to sleep and mood disturbances.
