Poor sleep quality correlated with higher depression symptoms among night‑shift nurses in a tertiary hospital sample.
Evidence here how night‑shift patterns relate to mood and stress, and how they shows sleep & alertness and mental health for night‑shift workers and night owls. It situates sleep‑mood changes within schedule patterns, validating experiences many night workers already recognize. For night workers and night owls, the signal helps explain why the same rota can feel markedly different across weeks and people.
