Summary

Review of shift work and coronary artery disease risk across studies, summarizing risk and management approaches.

Why It Matters For Night Shift Workers and Night Owls

A structured review how timing of light, sleep, meals, and schedules maps findings showing sleep, alertness, recovery, and metabolic markers for night‑shift workers and night owls. Overall, the data make the schedule itself visible in physiology, not just in how people feel subjectively. For the audience living on night schedules, the key meaning is that the schedule’s timing choices show up in measurable outcomes.
