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:

Study of Demographic Factors on Incidence of Accidents in Heavy Metal Industries between 2001 to 2010: A Study in a Shift Work Rotation System in Iran
TL;DR: This study shows that analysis of incidents was not one-way and it must be analyzed systemically, if it be, the results of this study can be used in other industries.

Circadian rhythms and sleep–circadian interactions
TL;DR: A human’s internal biology is timed to the 24 h light and dark cycles, which synchronizes processes, such as metabolic, digestive, and learning processes with the time of day that they might occur, so that the internal molecular activities can be carried out efficiently.

TL;DR: In this article , the extent to which the cortisol awakening response (CAR) is influenced by the circadian system, independent of behaviors including sleep, was examined in 34 adults (20 female) using two complementary multiday inlaboratory circadian protocols performed in dim light, throughout which behavioral factors were uniformly distributed across the 24-hour circadian cycle.

The effects of indoor ambient temperature at work on physiological adaptation in night shift nurses.
Jeong Hun Kim,Yeoungsuk Song +1 more
TL;DR: A compensated temperature of 23°C may exert a positive effect on night shift adaptation and nursing managers should assess their thermal comfort during night shifts, and improved thermal comfort should be provided to nurses.

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.
