With workforces in industrialized countries getting older, the study examined how shiftworking affects sleep in later life.
Longitudinal data were collected in 1996, 2001, and 2006 from a large sample of employees who were 32, 42, 52, and 62 years old in 1996.
Effects of shiftwork were most apparent in middle-aged participants, becoming less apparent in later years when people tended to leave shiftwork. Nevertheless, a group of younger former shiftworkers reported more sleep problems than those who had never worked shifts. Giving up shiftwork offset a trend for sleep problems to accumulate over time, with the net result of no change in sleep problems after cessation of shiftwork.
Poor sleep quality is a temporary consequence of shiftwork for some, whereas for others it is a cause of shiftwork intolerance.
随着工业化国家劳动力年龄的增长,本研究探讨了轮班工作如何影响晚年的睡眠。
1996 年、2001 年和 2006 年,从一组年龄分别为 32、42、52 和 62 岁的大型员工样本中收集了纵向数据。
轮班工作的影响在中年参与者中最为明显,随着人们倾向于离开轮班工作,这些影响在以后的年份中变得不那么明显。然而,一组年轻的前轮班工人报告的睡眠问题比从未轮班工作的人多。放弃轮班工作扭转了睡眠问题随时间积累的趋势,停止轮班工作后睡眠问题没有变化。
对于一些人来说,睡眠质量差是轮班工作的暂时后果,而对于另一些人来说,这是轮班工作不耐受的原因。
