“…This is in tandem with the study of Sfreddo et al (2010), which found no association between shift work and the incidence of hypertension. However, McCubbin et al (2010), reported a direct relationship between working night shift and blood pressure dysregulation, especially in individuals with positive family history of hypertension. The study by McCubbin et al (2010), further revealed that stress caused by shift work may have adverse effects on the cardiovascular system both through direct mechanisms as well as by indirect influences.…”

The observation, in this study, of insignificant difference between the shift and non-shift groups on account of blood pressure parameters, may be due to the fact that the participants in this study fall under the age group which have lower tendency for hypertension in addition to the fact that the participants are medically-inclined and as such may have taken necessary precautionary measures to prevent high blood pressure.…”

Background: This study evaluated the prevalence, predictors and effects of Shift Work Sleep Disorder (SWSD) among nurses in a Nigerian teaching hospital. Methods: Eighty-eight nurses (44 each from the pool of shift and non-shift nurses), who emerged by simple random sampling, participated in the study. Socio-demographic data and health complaints were obtained with questionnaires. Each participant was assessed with Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS), insomnia severity index (ISI) and sleep log, while SWSD cases were ascertained by applying the International Classification of Sleep Disorders (ICSD-2) criteria. Body mass index, blood pressure, body temperature and salivary cortisol levels were also determined. Results: Generally, results showed that the shift group; comprising of shift nurses, recorded higher values of biophysical profiles and more health complaints than the non-shift group (control); comprising of non-shift nurses. Also, 19 (43.2%) of the shift nurses fulfilled the criteria for SWSD, on this basis, the shift group was divided into two: SWSD (n = 19) and No SWSD (n = 25). And within the shift group, the SWSD group had higher systolic (p = 0.014), diastolic (p = 0.012), and mean arterial (p = 0.009) blood pressures; they also recorded higher temperature (p = 0.001) , higher salivary cortisol levels (p = 0.027) and more health complaints. Conclusion:The results of this study indicate that rotating shift work among nurses is associated with increased level of health complaints and physiologic indices of stress as well as sleep impairment.

“…This could be an important finding since the majority of college students report some level of sleep-related disturbances (Buboltz et al, 2001; Forquer et al, 2008) and sleep quality in college students is related to health and well-being (Pilcher et al, 1997). Furthermore, sleep could be related to blood pressure control (McCubbin et al, 2010) and parasympathetic activity (Walker et al, 2009), suggesting that stabilizing sleep quality could positively impact long-term health in college students. This is the first study that reports a possible link between changes in sleep quality with light physical activity when studying in college students.…”

There is growing interest in using activity workstations as a method of increasing light physical activity in normally sedentary environments. The current study (N = 117) compared the effects of studying in college students while slowly pedaling a stationary bike with a desktop with studying at traditional desks across 10 weeks in an academic semester. The students were assigned to study either on the stationary bike or at a traditional desk located in the campus library for a minimum of 2 h a week. During the 10 weeks, the students studied for tests or worked on other required academic activities while working at their assigned desk. In addition, the participants completed a pre survey, weekly surveys, and a post survey. We found that although students studying at the traditional desks reported more ease of studying and more effective studying than those using the stationary bikes, the two groups performed equally well on tests in an introductory psychology course. Moreover, the students using the traditional desks reported a decrease in sleep quality later in the semester while those using the activity workstation reported stable levels of sleep quality. The current results indicate that activity workstations could be implemented in university settings to encourage light physical activity without negatively affecting academic performance while providing possible long-term health and well-being benefits. Furthermore, the results suggests that activity workstations could be a means of combating sedentary behavior in environments where individuals are expected to sit either while waiting (e.g., doctor's waiting rooms, airports) or when completing a necessary task (e.g., the workplace, educational settings).

“…In contrast, the lack of sleep and sleep deprivation are associated with negative changes in mood, increased irritability, and emotional instability (Horne, 1985;Wong, et al, 2013) as well as physiological changes associated with a stress response (McCubbin, Pilcher, & Moore, 2010;Walker, et al, 2009). Sleep deprivation increases negative mood states (Durmer & Dinges, 2005), worsens emotional regulation (Baum, et al, 2014), and induces extra sensitivity to emotional and stressful events (Vandekerckhove & Cluydts, 2010).…”

Blood Pressure Increases During a Simulated Night Shift in Persons at Risk for Hypertension

Abstract: These data suggest that rotation to a simulated night shift with sleep deprivation may contribute to blood pressure dysregulation in persons with a positive family history of hypertension.
