Sleepiness in a Population of Italian Shift-work Policemen

Abstract

Various studies have shown that sleep disorders and daytime sleepiness are the more frequent disturbances reported by shift- workers. Shift-work interferes with both the quality and quantity of sleep. Concerning the duration of sleep, there is a decrease in the number of hours of sleep both during morning shifts, due to early awakening, and during night shifts due to the inversion of the normal sleep-wake cycle.
