Individual differences in tolerance to shift work – A systematic review
TLDR
This paper systematically review literature published investigating the relation between individual differences such as age, gender, personality, morningness/eveningness as well as biological variables and different measures of shift work tolerance from 1998 till 2009 to indicate that young age, male gender, low scores on morningness, high scores on flexibility andLow scores on languidity are related to higher shift workolerance.About:

TL;DR: Underpowered study was underpowered to detect moderate effects, examining suggestive results in well-powered independent studies or in pooled data sets may improve the understanding of the pathways underlying the negative health effects of shift work and the influence of personal factors such as chronotype.

Sleep patterns of offshore day-workers in relation to overtime work and age.
TL;DR: Sleep duration and quality were impaired among personnel who worked overtime, relative to those who worked only standard shifts; there was also an inverse dose-response relationship between overtime hours and sleep duration.

Effects of alertness management training on sleepiness among long-haul truck drivers: A randomized controlled trial.
Mia Pylkkönen,Mia Pylkkönen,Asko Tolvanen,Christer Hublin,Jukka Kaartinen,Kati Karhula,Sampsa Puttonen,M. Sihvola,Mikael Sallinen +8 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that driver education is not a sufficient measure as such to alleviate driver sleepiness, and on-road randomized controlled trials investigating the benefits of training on sleepiness among employees working in road transport failed to provide support for a feasible non-recurrent alertness-management training being effective remedy for driverSleepiness in occupational settings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conceptualizing nurses' night work: an inductive content analysis.
TL;DR: The Nurses' Night Work model deconstructs the established binary considerations of the lives and bodies of workers to permit a 24/7-based consideration of nurses' night work and its frequently unacknowledged relationship with the day work required of the same nurses when working a rapidly but randomly rotating shift work schedule.

Work-related influences on marital satisfaction amongst shiftworkers and their partners: a large, matched-pairs study
TL;DR: In this article, a large cross-sectional couples-level exploration of work-related variables and marital satisfaction (MSAT) in a shift work context was carried out, and the authors found that work-specific variables explain significant proportions of the variance in MSAT in both shiftworker and partner samples.

Is there an association between shift work and having a metabolic syndrome? Results from a population based study of 27 485 people
TL;DR: Obesity, high triglycerides, and low concentrations of HDL cholesterol seem to cluster together more often in shift workers than in day workers, which might indicate an association between shift work and the metabolic syndrome.

PER3 Polymorphism Predicts Sleep Structure and Waking Performance
Antoine U. Viola,Simon Archer,LM James,John A. Groeger,June C. Lo,Debra J. Skene,Malcolm von Schantz,Derk-Jan Dijk +7 more
TL;DR: The data show that this polymorphism in PER3 predicts individual differences in the sleep-loss-induced decrement in performance and that this differential susceptibility may be mediated by its effects on sleep homeostasis.

Metabolic disturbances in male workers with rotating three-shift work. Results of the WOLF study
TL;DR: A significant association between shift work and lipid disturbances (i.e. low HDL-cholesterol and high triglyceride levels) was found and any association with hyperglycaemia was found.

Towards a Predictive Test of Adjustment to Shift Work
TL;DR: It is concluded that it may prove feasible to develop a questionnaire that would predict the degree to which people's rhythms would adjust to shift work, and that flexibility of sleeping habits and the ability to overcome drowsiness should be components of such a questionnaire.
