Summary
Rotating shift work associated with higher injury risk factors and poorer health indicators versus dayshift.
Why It Matters For Night Shift Workers and Night Owls
Evidence here how night duty and post‑shift fatigue shows 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.
