Nat Sci Sleep. 2020;12:1083–1090. The Editor-in-chief and Publisher of Nature of Science and Sleep wish to retract the published article. Concerns were raised about the methodology and analysis of saliva melatonin and TNF-alpha described in the article. Some of these concerns are described below. The collection of a single saliva sample may not be sufficient for accurate melatonin analysis. Further, the 90 minute spread for saliva collection represents 2 half-lives of melatonin disappearance, and the differences between groups could simply be due to differences in the actual sampling times rather than a treatment effect. The values of saliva melatonin reported in the paper appear implausible. Table 4 reports the melatonin concentrations as nmol/ml meaning the 200.52 nmol/ml described would be 46,400 ng/ml. The ELISA assay (E1013Hu, Bioassay Technology Laboratory, Shanghai, China) used to measure the melatonin is understood not to have been validated for use in saliva melatonin measurements. TNF-α is understood to be present in concentrations of pg/ml and the levels reported in Table 4 appear implausible. The selection of the cases and controls is not clear, and the description of the study groups in the article is limited. The night-shift schedule is not described, with almost half of the shift workgroup described working only one-night shift per month, raising questions whether they could be considered shift workers. The authors confirmed the reporting of melatonin values in Table 4 were incorrect and should have been ng/L, however they were unable to account for the other concerns that were raised. Thus, the findings could not be validated and the decision was made to retract the paper.
