Abstract in brief

  • This systematic review examines how shift rotations impact employees' cortisol levels, sleep quality, fatigue, and attention, highlighting that irregular work hours and disrupted circadian rhythms pose health and safety risks.
  • Findings show that shift work, especially night shifts, disrupts the natural sleep-wake cycle, leading to decreased sleep quality, increased fatigue, diminished vigilance, and impaired mental efficiency.
  • The review emphasizes that shift rotation can cause chronic sleep debt and fatigue, which negatively affect work performance and safety, with shift workers experiencing altered cortisol secretion and less restorative sleep.]
