Abstract
Among 178 employees, those on a 12-hour shift schedule reported longer sleep duration before morning shifts and less frequent sleepiness during those shifts.
- Sleep length was longer in the 12-hour shift schedule before the first morning shift and between morning shifts.
- Less frequent sleepiness was reported during morning shifts for employees on the 12-hour schedule.
- Satisfaction with the shift system was higher among employees working 12-hour shifts.
- Perceived negative impacts on work-life balance were less common for those on the 12-hour shift schedule.
- The differences between the two shift systems were minor, indicating no significant disadvantages of the 12-hour shift system.
