Promoting Sleep: Adapting to Shiftwork and Time Zone Change

Abstract

The changes in performance that arise in shiftworkers and after transmeridian flights can be attributed, at least in part, to the reduction in both the quality and quantity of sleep which occurs as a result of disruption of the normal pattern of sleep and wakefulness. Sleep disturbance associated with shiftwork is well documented.
