The Adaptability of Individuals to Shiftwork. A Possible Experimental Approach

Abstract

The Institute for Occupational Physiology at the University of Dortmund has been an important research center for shift work. This line of research was terminated a decade ago, when Joseph Rutenfranz died in 1989 and Peter Knauth became Professor at the University of Karlsruhe. Now, this topic will be resumed by a scientist with an extended experience in sleep research focused on experimental studies and field observations on sleep disturbances as caused by environmental noise. Research on shift work now will be executed in close cooperation with the biochemical unit of the institute,
