Night Shift Performance is Improved by a Compromise Circadian Phase Position: Study 3. Circadian Phase after 7 Night Shifts with an Intervening Weekend Off

摘要

Study Objective:To produce a compromise circadian phase position for permanent night shift work in which the sleepiest circadian time is delayed out of the night work period and into the first half of the day sleep period. This is predicted to improve night shift alertness and performance while permitting adequate late night sleep on days off.
