Sleep problems from shift work affect male and female workers of all age groups. Those who have unusual work hours are most likely to have it.
Estimates are that 2% to 5% of the general population is affected. This estimate does not include people who work early-morning shifts.
Some people feel that they function better at night. They go to bed very late at night on a regular basis. They may have delayed sleep phase disorder.
These people may choose to work a night shift. They prefer to work during the late hours when they feel that they are more alert.
