How Irregular Hours Impact Your Health: Join a Shift Work Disorder Study

Shift work disorder (SWD) is a circadian rhythm disorder that occurs in up to 40% of individuals who work night or rotating shifts. The misalignment between your body’s natural sleep-wake cycle and your work schedule can directly affect your physical and mental health. Without any type of intervention, shift work disorder can increase your risk of long-term medical issues, including chronic fatigue, diabetes, and heart disease.
Common signs of shift work disorder include:
• Experiencing excessive sleepiness during your shift or waking hours
• Having trouble falling or staying asleep
• Feeling exhausted even after sleeping
• Struggling to concentrate, stay alert, or perform tasks at work
• Experiencing irritability or sudden mood changes
If you or someone you know has frequent difficulty sleeping or staying awake due to a non-traditional work schedule, you may benefit from a Shift Work Disorder Research Study. There are no insurance requirements, and you may be eligible for time and travel reimbursement.
