| Abstract |
The effect of work rhythm on sleep, eating habits and extra-professional activities is still not known very well. This study presents the results of a survey carried out on 148 shift workers in a firm manufacturing plastic packages. It appears that work rhythm has little influence on the quality and duration of sleep or the number of meals taken. Moreover, distribution of extra-professional activities seems not to be influenced by the work rhythm either. However, factors like age, sex and other sociocultural variables have a greater influence on the individual experience of shift work. |
