Shift work disorder, depression, and anxiety in the transition to rotating shifts: the role of sleep reactivity.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

The aim of this study is to investigate premorbid sleep reactivity as a vulnerability to incident shift work disorder (SWD), and related changes in depression as well as anxiety following a transition to a rotating shifts work schedule.

Methods

This is a longitudinal study with two waves of data collection.
