Shiftworker performance.
Nightwork not only taps into the "low ebb" of certain circadian performance rhythms, it also involves sleep disruption, social and domestic disruption, and the chronic equivalent of jet lag, all of which can radically affect performance and safety. This chapter discusses performance rhythms, their relationship to the circadian system and the sleep/wake cycle, and "on-the-job" shiftworker performance.
