What Does Shift Work Do?

Shift work acts against the body clock and the circadian rhythm—a roughly twenty-four hour cycle in the physiological processes of living beings, including plants, animals, fungi and cyanobacteria. Circadian rhythms are endogenously generated, although they can be modulated by external cues, such as sunlight and temperature.

Sleep is regulated by two body systems: sleep/wake homeostasis and the circadian biological clock. When we have been awake for a long period of time, sleep/wake homeostasis tells us that the need for sleep is increasing and that it is time to sleep. The biological clock and homeostatic drive act together so that we are alert during the day and asleep at night.
