“…In Assarrodi et al s' study, it was found that physical problems are less than mental health problems (29). Gumenyuk et al, in their study, concluded that workers with shift work disorder and night shift have specific deficits in neurophysiological activity in the attentional domain (30). Most of nurses working in shifts in the study of Majidi, reported the negative impact of shift work on their fatigue and health (31).…”

Background: There is no doubt that problems during wakefulness can affect the quality and length of sleep. Sleep disturbances can have a serious negative effect on a person's ability, function, and overall well-being. One of the most important issues that can result in sleep disturbances is professional causes, and the most important of which is shift work. The present study aimed at investigating the association between shift work and various sleep disorders and quality of life. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study. The data were collected using the Persian version of Epworth sleepiness scale andSF-36 questionnaires to assess the participants' sleep disorder and quality of life. The questionnaires were filled in by 207 shift workers. Age, gender, shift works experience, and working experience were recorded for all participants.

“…For example, those with shift work disorder have shorter sleep duration, shorter sleep latency on the multiple sleep latency test, hyperreactivity to novel stimuli, and reduced brain response to auditory stimuli as measured by brain event-related potentials. [41][42][43] It has also been suggested that there are 2 distinct phenotypes within those with shift work disorder, namely, those with insomnia and sleepiness and those with only insomnia. Patients with both insomnia and sleepiness were found to be more likely to have a long tandem repeat on PER3 than those with insomnia but no sleepiness.…”

“…Vast differences in shift work schedules and duration of shift work may exist. Additionally, the degree of impairment during shift work likely reflects the degree of circadian desynchrony [46]. If individuals with impairment abandon shift work while individuals who tolerate non-traditional shifts remain in their current job, the healthy worker effect results [57,58].…”

Adequate sleep is crucial for general health and wellbeing. Although the neuronal control of the reproductive axis and sleep-generating neurons share an anatomical location, little is known regarding the impact of sleep and circadian disruption on fertility in women. Animal models have established clear circadian control of the pre-ovulatory luteinizing hormone surge. Additionally, disruption of the circadian timing system by exposure to abnormal light-dark cycles or mutations of core clock genes results in diminished reproductive capacity in animals. Abnormalities in menstruation, fertility, and early pregnancy maintenance in female shift workers provide evidence for a role of circadian rhythms in the reproductive health of women. Reproductive hormones may modify sleep, and the relationship is bidirectional such that sleep disruption may alter the profile of reproductive hormone secretion. Therefore, sleep, apart from its circadian timing, may also have relevance in attaining pregnancy. Additionally, infertility is associated with psychological distress which may result in poor quality sleep. The interaction between psychological distress and disturbed sleep in reproduction has garnered minimal attention and may be a crucial factor to consider during the evaluation and treatment of infertility. This work reviews animal models and evidence in women that suggest a role for sleep and circadian rhythms in reproductive health and reveals areas that require future investigation.
