Coping with Shift Work and Sleep Cycles

Subject: Static GK (General Knowledge)

Book: General Time Knowledge

Shift workers in factories, hospitals, and call centers face irregular schedules that often conflict with natural circadian rhythms. Medical research links this disruption to fatigue, decreased alertness, and potential long-term health risks. Coping strategies include consistent sleep routines, light exposure management, and carefully timed naps. Employers may rotate shifts gradually or provide wellness resources to mitigate negative effects. Understanding shift work challenges illuminates how critical time management is for maintaining safety, productivity, and employee well-being in a 24-hour society.
