TL;DR: For example, this paper found that individuals with shift work sleep disorder are at risk for significant behavioral and health-related morbidity associated with their sleep-wake symptomatology, including sleepiness-related accidents, absenteeism, depression, and missed family and social activities more frequently compared to those shift workers who did not meet criteria.

TL;DR: It is suggested that individuals with shift work sleep disorder are at risk for significant behavioral and health-related morbidity associated with their sleep-wake symptomatology.

TL;DR: The self-report scale developed in the present work is suitable for middle-school-age children and may be useful in future research given its ease of administration and robust psychometric properties.

TL;DR: It is suggested that long work hours may contribute to chronic sleep loss, which may in turn result in work impairment, and risk for sleep disorders substantially increases the likelihood of negative work outcomes.

TL;DR: The results showing a relationship between FIRST scores and nocturnal polysomnography and Multiple Sleep Latency Test scores suggest individuals with high FIRST scores may be predisposed to developing chronic primary insomnia and the vulnerability identified may underlie vulnerability to transient sleep disturbance associated with other sleep-disruptive factors.
