Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effects of circadian and sleep rhythm disruptions on immune biomarkers among hospital healthcare professionals working night shifts and rotating day shifts. The results showed that night shifters had shorter sleep duration, greater sleep debt, and social jet-lag compared to day shifters. The variations of immune biomarkers concentrations were different between the two groups, which may increase vulnerability to infections and reduce vaccination efficiency in night workers.

Summary: The circadian clock is crucial for maintaining our health, but social jet lag can disrupt it. Exercise, particularly in individuals with high-fat diets, has been found to improve the disordered body clock caused by social jet lag.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the influence of working time and work characteristics on sleep disturbance among night-shift workers. The findings showed that extended work, higher workload, and emotional work demands were significant factors for sleep disturbance among night-shift workers.

Summary: Only 10.5% of Australian shift workers met the criteria for probable shift work disorder (pSWD), and they did not seek help for sleep problems at higher rates. Self-management strategies, such as alcohol use and caffeine consumption, were common among workers with pSWD. The mentality of 'accept it and keep going' may serve as a barrier to help-seeking.

Summary: Night shift nurses are more sedentary, report lower levels of life satisfaction, and poorer sleep quality compared to day-shift nurses. These differences may be correlated with challenges in falling asleep on off-days.

Summary: The study developed an optimization algorithm to identify sleep and work schedules that minimize alertness impairment during work hours, while reducing impairment during non-work hours. The algorithm showed promising results in reducing alertness impairment and optimizing sleep and work schedules for different experimental studies.

Summary: The study aimed to develop an optimization algorithm to minimize alertness impairment during work hours by adjusting sleep and work schedules. Results showed that the algorithm proposed sleep schedules that reduced alertness impairment by an average of 29%, and optimal sleep and work schedules accelerated recovery to baseline levels by two days compared to traditional 9-to-5 schedules.

Summary: This study found that nearly three-quarters of healthy airline pilots experienced moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea during daytime sleep following overnight flights. Factors such as body mass index, Berlin questionnaire score, and cumulative flight time were associated with obstructive sleep apnea.

Summary: The study found that shift workers have a higher risk of sleep disorders compared to non-shift workers, and there is a linear increasing trend in the prevalence of sleep disorders with an increasing number of shifts.

Summary: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between dietary intake and social jet lag and temporal sleep variability. The results showed limited associations between nutritional composition and social jet lag, but consumption of polyunsaturated fats, sodium, chloride, and total energy intake were related to levels of temporal sleep variability. These findings suggest the need for further research on specific nutrients to tailor interventions for managing diet and temporal variabilities in sleep patterns.

Summary: Recent studies have emphasized the importance of sleep for procrastination at work and proposed that depleted self-regulatory resources contribute to procrastination. This study aimed to explore the impact of sleep quality and chronotype on procrastination, as well as the exacerbating effect of daylight saving time on circadian misalignment. The findings support the hypothesis that later chronotypes are more dependent on high-quality sleep to prevent procrastination, particularly after the shift to daylight saving time.

Summary: The research suggests that night shift work is associated with an increased risk of mood and neurotic disorders, especially for nurses with persistent night shifts and preexisting psychiatric disorders. Further research is needed to confirm these results.

Summary: The FIRESLEEP study evaluated sleep quality and disturbances among French firefighters, with results indicating poor sleep quality and high prevalence of sleep disturbances, particularly among professional firefighters. Risk factors for poor sleep quality included known sleep disorders, treated anxiety/depression, night calls, and insomnia symptoms, while risk factors for excessive daytime sleepiness were short sleep duration, taking naps, and insomnia symptoms. Older age was found to be a protective factor for excessive daytime sleepiness. Preventive measures such as education and systematic screening were recommended to mitigate the impact of sleep disturbances on firefighters' overall health.

Summary: Working night shifts increases the risk of diabetes, as the misalignment between central circadian clock and daily behaviors impairs glucose tolerance. Research shows that restricting nighttime eating can prevent the misalignment between central and peripheral circadian rhythms and impaired glucose tolerance.

Summary: Shift work can lead to sleep disturbances and impaired cognitive function, especially in workers with lower educational levels, affecting aspects such as working memory performance.
