Night shift work and fecundability among nurses
Summary
Rotating nights were associated with modestly reduced fecundability; circadian disruption and sleep loss proposed as mechanisms.
Why It Matters For Night Shift Workers and Night Owls
Longitudinal tracking how night‑shift exposure during pregnancy tracked with sleep & alertness and pregnancy outcomes for night‑shift workers and night owls. The associations highlight which parts of the rota are likely to drive risk, informing practical accommodations. For night‑shift teams and individuals, this ties long‑debated rota features to concrete outcomes, making schedule talk about health, not preference.
