The internal circadian clock adapts slowly, if at all, to rapid transitions between different shift
schedules. This leads to misalignment (desynchrony) of rhythmic physiological systems …

The various non-standard schedules required of shift workers force abrupt changes in the
timing of sleep and light-dark exposure. These changes result in disturbances of the …

There are three mechanisms that may contribute to the health, performance, and safety
problems associated with night-shift work:(1) circadian misalignment between the internal …

The severity of many diseases varies by time of day. For example, adverse cardiovascular
incidents peak in the morning, asthma is often worse at night, and temporal lobe epileptic …

Dear Editor, The circadian system is key for optimal functioning by maintaining synchrony

Shift work has been associated with a number of health problems including cardiovascular
disease, impaired glucose and lipid metabolism, gastrointestinal discomfort, reproductive …

The circadian rhythms of night shift workers do not usually adjust to their unusual work and
sleep schedules, reducing their quality of life and producing potentially dangerous health …

Work at unconventional hours can have both long and short term consequences. Shift
workers are often required to perform their duties at times that are not favoured by the body's …

Night shift work is associated with a myriad of health and safety risks. Phase‐shifting the
circadian clock such that it is more aligned with night work and day sleep is one way to …

Over a quarter of employees in North America and a fifth of those in the European Union do
shift work. Working these schedules increases fatigue, sleepiness, and errors at work. In the …
