Abstract:
:Previously we have shown that the 6-sulphatoxymelatonin rhythm of oil rig workers on a 2-week night shift (1800-0600 h) adapts to the shift via a phase delay. We now report the findings of a study on two offshore drill crews working a 1 week day (1200-0000 h), 1 week night (0000-1200 h) swing shift. Urine samples were collected every 2-3 h throughout the subjective days, with over-sleep collections, for the measurement of 6-sulphatoxymelatonin by radioimmunoassay. One crew (n = 11), studied in November, showed no change in their 6-sulphatoxymelatonin rhythm during night shift. The other crew (n = 7), studied in March, showed a significant phase advance of the rhythm during night shift. The data indicate that both the type of shift and the season influence the direction and degree of adaptation.
