Abstract in brief

The study investigated how biological stress markers like salivary cortisol, DHEAS, and alpha-amylase relate to sleep disruptions in shift-working healthcare professionals over six months.
Results showed that shift workers experienced greater sleep disturbances and decreased sleep quality compared to daytime workers, with reductions in cortisol and alpha-amylase linked to worsening sleep.
Lower cortisol and higher DHEAS levels were significantly associated with increased sleep problems, suggesting these biomarkers could help predict or understand sleep issues in people with irregular work schedules.]
