Abstract Introduction Rotating shift work is known to adversely impact sleep. Napping is one of the strategies that workers can use to mitigate the effect of shift work on their sleep. In this study, we investigated the effect of chronotype on napping behavior in police officers involved in rotating shift work. Methods Actigraphy-based sleep measures and chronotype information was available from 74 police officers (20 women and 54 men; age [mean ± SD]: 32 ± 5.4 years) that participated in a 35-day field study during which they worked morning, evening, and night shifts. A generalized linear mixed model was used to assess the effect of shift type, chronotype, and their interaction on the likelihood to take a nap, adjusted for relevant covariates. In addition, linear mixed models were used to determine the effect of shift type, chronotype, and their interaction on sleep duration with and without taking into account napping duration. Results The likelihood to take a nap was influenced by an interaction between shift type and chronotype (χ2(2) = 11.2, p = 0.004). Earlier chronotype was linked to a lower likelihood to take naps during days with morning shifts and a higher likelihood during days with night shifts. Napping modulated the effect of shift type and chronotype on daily sleep duration, most notably during night shifts: while chronotype was associated with the duration of the main sleep period during night shifts, with the main sleep period being 1.7 h [95% C.I.: 0.6 – 2.8] shorter in the earliest chronotypes compared to the latest chronotypes, this effect was attenuated and no longer significant when napping duration was taken into account (difference in total sleep duration in latest chronotypes vs earliest chronotypes during nights shifts: 0.9 [−0.1 to 1.9] h). Conclusion Napping attenuates the chronotype-dependent effect of atypical work schedules on sleep duration in this population of shift-working police officers. These findings highlight the need to take into account chronotype when assessing the effect of shift work on sleep behavior.

Abstract Shift work, an essential part of our 24/7 society, inevitably leads to displacement of the habitual sleep period and thereby to misalignment of the internal circadian timing system with the rest–activity cycle and the environment. How interindividual differences in circadian organization affect sleep duration and timing during rotating shift work is not fully understood. The objective of this study was to assess the effect of chronotype, shift type, and their interaction on actigraphy-based sleep behavior in 74 police officers (20 women and 54 men; age [mean ± SD]: 32.1 ± 5.4 years) involved in rotating shift work throughout a 28- to 35-day work cycle consisting of morning, evening, and night shifts. Using linear mixed modeling, we found that chronotype was associated with sleep duration depending on the shift type: increasing morningness was correlated with longer sleep duration during series of consecutive morning shifts, while increasing eveningness was correlated with longer sleep duration during series of evening shifts. During series of night shifts, increasing eveningness was associated with a longer duration of the main sleep episode, but this relationship was attenuated and no longer significant when naps were taken into account due to increased napping in morning chronotypes during series of night shifts. Providing a detailed within-subject characterization of sleep behavior across a complete work cycle consisting of morning, evening, and night shifts, this study advances the understanding of the relationship between chronotype and sleep in rotating shift workers and supports the implementation of work schedules that take into account chronobiological principles.

Physically disabled persons can have sleep problems, which affects their mental health more than those in non-disabled people. However, there are few studies on the relationship between sleep duration and mental health targeting physically disabled people in South Korea, and existing studies on the disabled have mostly used data collected from convenience rather than nationally representative samples, limiting the generalization of the results. This study used data from the second wave of the Panel Survey of Employment for the Disabled (PSED, 2016–2018, 1st–3rd year). Participants included 1851 physically disabled individuals. The Chi-square test and generalized estimating equation (GEE) were used and the Akaike information criterion (AIC) value and the AIC log Bayes factor approximation were used to select sleep trajectories. This is the first study to elucidate multiple sleep trajectories in physically disabled people in Korea, and the relationship between sleep duration trajectories and self-rated depressive symptoms. People with physical disabilities who sleep more than 9 h have the highest risk of depression and need more intensive management as a priority intervention.

e15600 Background: Globally, more than 1.8 million people were diagnosed of colorectal cancer (CRC) in 2018, with over 30% of CRC in the rectum. Shift-work, involving circadian disruption, sleep deprivation and lifestyle changes, was designated as a probable cause of cancer by The International Agency for Research on Cancer. Previous studies investigating the impact of permanent night-shift work and rotating shift-work on rectal cancer risk showed controversial results. Thus, this meta-analysis was conducted. Methods: A comprehensive literature search on PubMed was conducted to identify all relevant studies published prior to January 2021 according to the established inclusion criteria. The quality assessment was performed by the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). The pooled odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated to estimate the association between the shift-work and rectal cancer risk. Based on heterogeneity significance, random-effect or fixed-effect model was used. Subgroup analyses were conducted to explore the night-shift and rotating-shift, respectively. Sensitivity analysis and publication bias detection were performed, and trim and fill analysis was also conducted. All statistical analyses were performed using RevMan software (version 5.3; Cochrane library) and STATA 15.0 statistical software (Stata Corp., College Station, TX), and all P values were two-tailed, the test level was 0.05. Results: Thirty-seven articles were obtained from database searching. Three articles involving 1,063 rectal cancer cases were included. All studies were considered moderate to high quality. All included studies investigated on the association between shift-work and rectal cancer risk. A statistically significant association between shift-work and increased rectal cancer risk was found (OR 1.53, 95%CI: 1.31, 1.79, P< 0.00001, I 2 = 35%). In subgroup analyses, night-shift work was associated with a non-statistically significant increased risk of rectal cancer (OR 1.25, 95%CI: 0.47, 3.32, P = 0.66, I 2 = 93%). In contrast, Rotating-shift was associated with a statistically significant increased rectal cancer risk (OR 1.35, 95%CI: 1.10, 1.65, P = 0.004, I 2 = 6%). Sensitivity analysis confirmed the stability of the result. Funnel plot, Egger's test (t = 1.69, P = 0.341), and Begg's test (z = 1.04, P = 0.296) found no publication bias of analysis. Trim and fill analysis on fixed-effect model showed the pooled OR kept stable after adding two “missing” studies (OR 1.403, 95%CI: 1.224, 1.609, P <0.05). Conclusions: The current meta-analysis demonstrates that shift-work is associated with increased rectal cancer risk. However, no association between night-shift work and rectal cancer risk was found. In contrast, association between rotating-shift work and increased rectal cancer risk was found. More original studies on this topic are needed to further explore shift-work impacts on rectal cancer risk.

OBJECTIVE: Correlate shift work with body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, chronotype and depressive symptoms. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: This study comprising 14 shift workers and 13 day workers. Subjects were workers from the health area aged 25 to 60 years. Minor psychiatric disorders were accessed by Self Report Questionnaire (SRQ-20) and depressive symptoms by Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). Chronotype was accessed using Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ). Anthropometric measures were taken. RESULTS: Shift workers presented higher BMI (P = 0.03) and waist circumference (P = 0.004) than day workers. Years on shift work were significantly correlated to waist circumference (r = 0.43; P = 0.03) and age (r = 0.47; P = 0.02). Shift work was not correlated with depressive symptoms and chronotype. CONCLUSION: These results may suggest a role played by shift work on the development and/or the early clinic manifestations of metabolic disturbances, becoming a risk factor to metabolic syndrome.

Aim        To study temporal and spectral characteristics of heart rhythm variability (HRV) in night shift workers.Materials and methods       Along with traditional risk factors, conditions of labor contribute to development of cardiovascular morbidity, including night shift work, which can be associated with disorders of the autonomic regulation detected by analysis of HRV. This study included 100 healthy men. 74 of them were engaged in shift work, including 53 men with rotating shift work, 21 men with fixed night shifts, and 26 men with day-time work. HRV was analyzed by data of 5-min electrocardiogram recording (background recording and orthostatic test).Results   Night-shift workers had decreases in total power of regulation (ТР, SDNN) and in the parasympathetic branch (HF, pNN50). Rotating night-shift workers displayed significant decreases in SDNN and pNN50 and pronounced changes in the VLF / LF / HF ratio in the orthostatic test.Conclusion            In work with night shifts, the type of autonomic regulation differs from the “standard” functioning of the autonomic nervous system (ANS). This study showed different effects of night work regimens on HRV indexes. With the rotating shift work, the ANS dysregulation was more profound and was evident by a significant decrease in the ANS total tone and parasympathetic activity (SDNN, pNN50) compared to night shifts with fixed working hours. The excessive weakening of the parasympathetic component in the passive orthostatic test can be considered as an early marker for ANS maladaptation.

Abstract Introduction The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of changing sleep timing to afternoon-evening following nightshifts in hospital nurses with three rapid rotating shift schedules. Methods Hospital nurses with three rotating shift schedules were enrolled for a 1-month pre-intervention and a 1-month intervention study. During the Intervention, sleep timing following nightshifts was directed to afternoon-evening sleep for 8h time-in-bed (TIB) after 1 PM, and ad-lib sleep schedule for other shifts. Baseline and follow-up evaluation included sleep schedule, sleep duration, Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS), insomnia severity index (ISI) for each shift, Beck depression inventory (BDI), and Beck anxiety inventory (BAI). Sleep was assessed by sleep diary and actigraphy. Alertness during the night shift was evaluated using the Karolinska sleepiness scale (KSS) in the beginning and at the end of the shift by texts sent to their cell phones. The participants were asked to give feedback and a willingness to continue this intervention. Results A total of 26 subjects (30.7±8.5years, 25 female) finished the study among 29 nurses who participated in the study. The shift work was 6.5±8.0years. The mean morningness-eveningness scale was 42.1±8.0(31-62). TIB following nightshifts were 379.9±91.2 and 478.4±48.7 min for preintervention and intervention, respectively (p=0.001). Total sleep time (TST) was 328.0±91.0 vs. 361.0±70.4min, respectively following nightshifts (p=0.187, Cohen’s drm = 0.467). BDI, BAI, ESS, and ISI were significantly improved after the intervention. 60.7% and 49% of the participants reported improved alertness, and work efficiency during the nightshift. 17.9% and 42.9% of the participants reported increased sleep duration, and improved sleep quality after nightshift, respectively. Only eight participants were willing to continue the afternoon-evening sleep schedule following night shifts. KSS was not different between pre-intervention and intervention. Conclusion The afternoon-evening sleep schedule modestly increased total sleep time following nightshift. The overall mood, sleepiness and insomnia scale improved after the intervention although the alertness assessed by KSS failed to show the difference. The individual difference should be considered for applying afternoon-evening sleep for rapid rotating shift schedules.
