Shift Work Disorder
Shift Work Disorder is a condition that affects people who work non-traditional hours, such as night shifts or rotating shifts. It can lead to difficulties in sleeping, excessive daytime sleepiness, and problems with concentration. These symptoms occur because the body's natural circadian rhythm is disrupted, making it hard for individuals to adjust to their work schedules.
People with Shift Work Disorder may experience mood changes, irritability, and decreased performance at work. Treatment options include improving sleep hygiene, using light therapy, and sometimes medication. Addressing this disorder is important for overall health and well-being, as it can impact both personal and professional life.
