Effects of work organization on the occurrence and resolution of sleep disturbances among night shift workers: a longitudinal observational study

Abstract This study aimed to investigate the association between work organization and the trajectories of insomnia patterns among night shift workers in a hospital. The health examination data of hospital workers, recorded from January 2014 to December 2018, were collected; 6765 records of 2615 nig...
