Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Characteristics of sleep in workers and distinction of sleep in shift workers were investigated in this study by using data obtained through sleep questionnaires. 20% to 25% workers in all subjects had some troubles in their sleep for the points of sleep latency, sleep time and subjective satisfactions with sleep. Over 20% of subjects experienced disturbed day-time activities and 20% subjects in all subjects assessed their sleep bad or very bad. 80 subjects (5.8%) showed short sleep time less than 5 hour. The subjects who had sleep time of less than 6 hour were significantly higher in shift workers in comparison to day-time workers. The number of subjects who had trouble sleeping, lack of good sleep out of bed and difficulty to leave from bed over 7 days during the past month was significantly increased in shift workers comparison to that in day-time workers. The number of subjects who assessed their sleep bad or very bad in shift workers was significantly increased compare with that of day-time workers.
