Abstract
Some shift work schedules are designed without considering the limits of the human circadian system. Thus, night work and chronical shifting schedules induce serious health impairment in shift workers. Sleep disturbances, chronic tiredness and gastrointestinal disorders are major complaints of shift workers.
