Shift Work and Sleep Disturbances

  • Conference paper

Abstract

Formally, the term “shift work” refers specifically to an arrangement of work hours that uses two or more teams (shifts) to cover the time needed for production. Whereas two-shift work usually covers only daylight hours, three-shift work also covers the night. Shifts are often changed around 0600, 1400, and (if a night shift is included) 2200 hours, although many companies employ earlier or later times. In Europe the teams usually rotate between the shifts, whereas in the United States assignment to a certain shift is often permanent, at least for a considerable time, before seniority allows transfer to another shift. Permanent night work, the watch system at sea, and roster work are other varieties of work hour arrangements. The latter (roster work) is similar to conventional shiftwork, only somewhat more irregular and “customized” to particular needs, usually in the service sector.

This paper is dedicated to the memory of my long time friend and colleague Lars Torsvall, who died tragically in an accident in August 1989.
