About this title

Synopsis

Industries that run for 24 hours, shift work becomes an unavoidable necessity. Anyone thinking that you are not affected by shift duties? Think again. Shift work is now proven to be deleterious to overall cognitive mental & cardiovascular health. It is high time that we realize this silent killer in today's ultra modern world & take necessary remedial measures to prevent the same. This book highlights the effect of shift working on sleep rhythm & autonomic functions of a shift worker in comparison with a non-shift worker.
