Why Sleep Debt Matters for Night Workers

Night shift workers are particularly vulnerable to sleep debt because working against your natural circadian rhythm makes it harder to achieve quality sleep during the day.

Effects of Sleep Debt:

  • Decreased alertness and reaction time (safety risk)
  • Impaired memory and cognitive function
  • Weakened immune system
  • Increased risk of accidents and errors
  • Mood changes and irritability
  • Long-term health consequences

Good news: Unlike financial debt, sleep debt can be "repaid" with consistent, quality sleep. Even small improvements in your sleep routine can have significant benefits.
