Summary
This paper discusses the negative effects of night shift work on the visual evoked potential (VEP) of security guards, suggesting that long-term shift work may impair general health.
Categories
Sleep and insomnia: The paper discusses the effects of sleep interruption and disturbance of circadian rhythm among night shift workers.
Alertness and performance: The paper suggests that night shift work can have a deleterious effect on performance, potentially due to the disruption of circadian rhythm.
Shift work: The paper focuses on the effects of rotating night shift work on the visual evoked potential (VEP) of security guards.
Cognitive function and memory: The paper suggests that night shift work may impair cognitive function, as evidenced by changes in visual evoked potential (VEP).
