Sleep problems were more strongly related to commuting accidents than workplace accidents in both sexes.
Evidence here how night duty and post‑shift fatigue shows sleep & alertness and injuries for night‑shift workers and night owls. The risk windows show up in measurements, explaining why the commute after nights is a recurrent blind spot. For night‑shift teams and individuals, this ties long‑debated rota features to concrete outcomes, making schedule talk about health, not preference.
