Risk Factors of Sleep Duration among Shift Workers

ABSTRACT

Previous studies showed that shift workers had a higher risk of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) related to the low duration of sleep. This study investigates the association of income reduction, breakfast habits, and exercise with sleep duration. The present study used a case-control design with 148 subjects. The result shows that the sleep duration of shift workers was associated with income reduction and exercise, but not with breakfast habits. This result indicates that the disruption of economic factors during the Covid-19 pandemic affect the sleep quality of shift workers. © 2023 UPM Press. All rights reserved.
