Accommodating the Biological Clocks of Shift Workers
For this study the authors investigated temperature rhythms, sleep patterns, dietary patterns, individual characteristics, and strategies to limit biological rhythm problems and adverse health outcomes associated with shift work. To reveal how circadian (24‐hour) patterning affects people who operate a water treatment plant, four subjects, three of whom rotated shifts around the clock, were studied for three weeks. All subjects showed circadian rhythmicity in their temperature cycles. The high and low points in the cycles differed, depending on shift worked and days off, and a pattern of problems emerged that was related to rotating work schedules. Solving these problems required a compromise of individual preference, operational requirements, costs, and circadian principles.
