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:

Different effects of phase advance and delay in rotating light-dark regimens on clock and natriuretic peptide gene expression in the rat heart.
TL;DR: Under physiological conditions the mammalian circadian system is synchronized to a cyclic environment and peripheral oscillators responded to rotating phase advance by decreasing rhythm robustness, while phase delay mostly influenced the phase angle between the acrophase of rhythmic gene expression and the external LD cycle.

Sleep-Related Problems in Night Shift Nurses: Towards an Individualized Interventional Practice
Valentina Alfonsi,Serena Scarpelli,Maurizio Gorgoni,Mariella Pazzaglia,Anna Maria Giannini,Luigi De Gennaro +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide an updated overview of the literature on sleep problems in night shift nurses and their adverse consequences; and critically analyze the psychosocial factors that mediate the negative impact of shift work with the ultimate goal of defining an effective countermeasure based on an individualized approach.

Can psychosocial working conditions help to explain the impact of shiftwork on health in male- and female-dominated occupations? A prospective cohort study.
TL;DR: It was not confirmed that the associations between shiftwork and health reflected poorer working conditions of shiftworkers in either FD or MD occupations, although the possibility remains that the Associations were due to other unmeasured aspects of the working environment.

The 5-HTTLPR rs25531 LALA-genotype increases the risk of insomnia symptoms among shift workers.
Ståle Pallesen,Ståle Pallesen,Daniel Pitz Jacobsen,Morten Birkeland Nielsen,Morten Birkeland Nielsen,Johannes Gjerstad +5 more
TL;DR: The findings demonstrated that the LALA-genotype increases the risk of insomnia symptoms among shift workers and the ability to cope with shift work is associated with the combination of the SLC6A4 variants 5-HTTLPR and SNP rs25531.

Clinical Implications of Impaired Sleep
TL;DR: This review discusses contemporary evidence-based perspectives on impaired sleep and its associations with other lifestyle medicine concerns, including obesity, cardiovascular conditions, psychological problems, and health-compromising habits.

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.
