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:

Twisting the night away: a review of the neurobiology, genetics, diagnosis, and treatment of shift work disorder
TL;DR: The neurobiological and genetic underpinnings of shift work disorder are reviewed, and how desynchronization of the molecular clock may lead to both physical and psychiatric illnesses are described.

Circadian variation and soccer performance: Implications for training and match-play during Ramadan
TL;DR: The contents will suggest that there is a basis for the within-day variation in physiological and psychological function to impact soccer performance if games are played early in the day or very late at night.
Journal ArticleDOI
Are there high-risk groups among physicians that are more vulnerable to on-call work?
TL;DR: Focusing on team issues and resources is important for younger physicians and trainees having on-call duties, whereas for older and specialists, attention should be focused on actual work load and time pressure.

Klokwerk + study protocol: An observational study to the effects of night–shift work on body weight and infection susceptibility and the mechanisms underlying these health effects
Bette Loef,Bette Loef,Debbie van Baarle,Allard J. van der Beek,Linda W. M. van Kerkhof,Daniella van de Langenberg,Karin I. Proper,Karin I. Proper +7 more
TL;DR: The Klokwerk + study will contribute to the current need for high–quality data on the health effects of night–shift work and its underlying behavioral and physiological mechanisms and can be the starting point for the development of interventions that prevent negative health effects caused by night– shift work.

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.
