Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Chronobiology
  • Sleep Science

Background:

  • Shiftwork impacts subjective health and well-being.
  • Individual variability exists in tolerance to shiftwork.
  • Circadian regulation and sleep are key biological mechanisms involved.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review individual differences in subjective health effects of shiftwork.
  • To identify factors influencing shiftwork tolerance.
  • To outline the significance of circadian adjustment.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies on shiftwork and individual differences.
  • Categorization of factors affecting circadian adjustment and sleep.
  • Analysis of coping mechanisms employed by shiftworkers.

Main Results:

  • Inter-individual factors significantly affect shiftwork tolerance.
  • Circadian regulation and brain restitution (sleep) are crucial.
  • Factors influencing circadian adjustment and sleep ability vary.

Conclusions:

  • Individual differences in circadian adjustment and sleep ability are critical for shiftwork tolerance.
  • Coping strategies can mitigate negative health effects.
  • Circadian adjustment plays a significant role in managing shiftwork.
