Here is something that sleep deprived workers are sure to applaud. Especially for the ones who have to adjust due to work shifts, this study made by Philip Tucker of Britain’s Swansea University should help you out. Using a large employment database, researchers looked at the relationship between shift work and sleep problems in workers of different ages and over time.
There is apparently a difference for the people in their 30s, 40s and yuppies. Workers who gave up shift work seemed to be a “self—selected” group who tended to have more problems with shift work. Sleep problems thus seem to be a “reversible consequence” of shift work although it may take a while after giving up shift work before sleep returns to normal.
