An electroencephalographic study of the sleep of shift workers (3 x 8) was performed in a French oil refinery. The recordings of diurnal sleep showed: a severe disorganization of the first day sleep (very short duration, decrease of PS and SWS in absolute amount); a trend towards better sleep characteristics (duration, PS and SWS amount) through the day-sleep period. Recovery night sleep appeared different when following curtailed night sleep (morning shift) and when following curtailed day sleep (night shift). Nocturnal sleep following immediately the diurnal sleep shows only partly the characteristics of a real recovery. Thus there seems to be a beginning adaptation to schedule reversal. This result supports a rapid shift alternation (3-4 days) which restrains both the cumulated sleep deficit and the adaptation to schedule reversal.
在一家法国炼油厂对（3×8）轮班工人的睡眠进行了脑电图研究。白天睡眠的记录显示：第一天睡眠严重紊乱（持续时间很短，快速眼动睡眠期和慢波睡眠期的绝对量减少）；在整个白天睡眠期间，睡眠特征（持续时间、快速眼动睡眠期和慢波睡眠期量）有改善的趋势。在缩短夜间睡眠（早班）之后和缩短白天睡眠（夜班）之后，恢复性夜间睡眠有所不同。紧接着白天睡眠后的夜间睡眠仅部分显示出真正恢复的特征。因此，似乎开始出现了对作息颠倒的适应。这一结果支持快速轮班交替（3 - 4天），这种交替可抑制累积的睡眠不足以及对作息颠倒的适应。
