Economic requirements can radically affected lifestyles by asking employees to work unconventional shifts. These shift work changes, also called shift lag, have a marked effect on a person’s sleep pattern.
Statistics report that nearly 20% of employees in industrialized countries are employed in shift work, which requires them to drastically change their sleep habits weekly or even daily.

Companies are establishing policies to standardize the frequency, duration, and type of shift work. These measures usually involve personal diagnostic surveys and employee interviews that are aimed at understanding employee needs and concerns.
