Twenty-Four Hour Rest-Activity Rhythm Disturbances and Neural Alterations Associated With Emotion Regulation in Shift Workers.

ABSTRACT: We examined the neural basis of emotion regulation in shift workers, and the relationships between the neural basis of emotion regulation, mood, sleep disturbance and 24-h rest-activity rhythm (RAR). Fifty-six shift workers (SW) with non-standard shift schedules and 52 controls (CON) participated in this study. They completed self-reported measures of sleep and mood problems, kept a sleep diary, and wore a wrist actigraphy device to assess sleep and 24-h RAR. They underwent one-night polysomnography and were scanned while performing an emotion regulation task. We examined group differences in the neural basis of emotion regulation and correlations between neural, mood, sleep and 24-h RAR variables. SW showed greater sleep disturbance (i.e., lower actigraphy-estimated sleep efficiency) and
