Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Sleep is a basic function of life; however, only in recent years has it received enough attention from the medical community. The role of sleep duration, its various phases and sequence are still largely unknown, along with their role in life. Another critical phenomenon relating to sleep is SAS (sleep apnea syndrome), which is very frequent in the general population. Although we are in the third millennium, we have very scant knowledge of the impact of sleep and SAS on disease states, but its data have demonstrated that their alterations impact on diabetes, which is the paradigm of metabolic disorders. It is highly suspected that sleep disorders and SAS may cause diabetes, worsen glycemic control and even cause death. This Special Issue aims to address at least some of these points and possibly identify the role of various derangements that occur during sleep.

Introduction: Employees working in shifts are exposed to many threats affecting their health, quality of life and safety at work. Those who perform their work only at night are particularly vulnerable. The purpose of the review is to identify risks to the health, quality of life and sleep of shift health workers. Method: A systematic review (SR) was used in the analysis. Electronic databases were searched. The search was limited to the latest studies published in the last five years: 2019–2023. Results: Finally, 36 articles were included in the review. Most authors have shown a link between sleep disturbance or its quality and shift work/night work. Moreover, a three-shift schedule was the most significant factor for poorer subjective sleep quality when compared to other work schedules. Furthermore, many authors have shown a link between shift/night work and health problems, which include cardiometabolic risk, glucose intolerance, breast cancer and immune vulnerability. Conclusions: The research results clearly show a significant impact of night work on the increased risk of sleep disorders and health disturbance. Healthcare workers should be aware of the risks associated with night work in order to take measures preventing sleep/health problems. Shift/night workers should have the opportunity to be screened for disorders linked with their work. Full article
