Working arrangements in industries that use non-standard hours sometimes necessitate an 'onsite' workforce where workers sleep in accommodation within or adjacent to the workplace. Of particular relevance to these workers is the widely held (and largely anecdotal) assumption that sleep at home is better than sleep away, particularly when away for work. This narrative review explores the idea that sleep outcomes in these unique work situations are the product of an interaction between numerous factors including timing and duration of breaks, commute length, sleeping environment (noise, movement, vibration, light), circadian phase, demographic factors and familiarity with the sleep location. Based on the data presented in this review, it is our contention that the location of sleep, whilst important, is secondary to other factors such as the timing and duration of sleep periods. We suggest that future research should include measures that allow conceptualisation of other critical factors such as familiarity with the sleeping environment.
在采用非标准工时制的行业中,工作安排有时需要“现场”劳动力,即工人在工作场所内或附近的住宿中睡觉。对于这些工人来说,特别相关的是一种普遍存在(且主要是传闻)的假设,即在家中睡觉比在外地工作时更好,尤其是在外出工作时。本综述探讨了这样一种观点,即在这些独特的工作情况下,睡眠结果是许多因素相互作用的产物,包括休息时间的长短和时间安排、通勤距离、睡眠环境(噪音、运动、振动、光线)、昼夜节律相位、人口统计学因素以及对睡眠地点的熟悉程度。基于本综述中呈现的数据,我们认为,尽管睡眠地点很重要,但它次于其他因素,如睡眠时段的长短和时间安排。我们建议未来的研究应包括可以将其他关键因素(如对睡眠环境的熟悉程度)概念化的措施。
