Abstract
There is limited knowledge as to why some individuals tolerate shift work and others do not. As a consequence of their intolerance, many individuals develop dissatisfaction with their shift schedule. To evaluate if dissatisfaction with one’s shift system was related to alterations of the daily pattern of sleep and sleepiness, we followed two groups of shift workers that were either highly satisfied or dissatisfied with their shift schedule, during an entire shift cycle.Keywords
