| Abstract |
Work-rest schedules for shift work including night work are presented. They take into consideration work weeks as short as 36 hours and recommendations by studies of numerous shift workers, to reduce sleep disturbance, fatigue, impairment of social life and of circadian rhythm. A new system of scheduling irregular shift work is outlined. It is presently being tested by employees of a television station in Germany. |
