A recent study conducted by researchers in the Netherlands and Belgium found that most people who work night shifts suffer from some kind of sleep disorder, including insomnia and hypersomnia.
The study said that compared to day workers, the night shift workers frequently reported short sleep.
Over a quarter of regular night-shift workers surveyed (26 per cent) reported more than two or three sleep disorders. Fifty-one per cent of people working in night shifts tested positive for at least one sleep disorder.
Researchers suggested rotational shifts, particularly fast-forward rotating work schedules, with ‘night work as short as possible’.
