Prevalence of insomnia in shift workers: a systematic review

Insomnia is a sleep disorder of high prevalence with somatic and psychic repercussions. The present study aimed to describe the prevalence of insomnia in shift workers, as well as the associated variables: gender, age, marital status, profession and shift work schedule. A systematic review was performed using the descriptors “insomnia” AND “shift work”, in the PubMed, SciELO and LILACS databases, including studies that presented frequency of insomnia in shift workers, published between 2000 and 2020, in English or Portuguese, only in individuals over 18-years-old. Review articles, meta-analyzes, studies without socioeconomic information, articles without abstract and articles with participants who presented other comorbidities that justified presence of insomnia or pregnant women were excluded. From 480 studies identified, 5 were included in the analysis, with a total sample of 10,141 participants, of whom 4,183 were shift workers. The prevalence of insomnia in shift workers ranged from 12.8% to 76.4%, higher than estimated for general population. Moreover, a higher prevalence was observed among women and singles, and there was no significant variation with age and profession. On the other hand, a relationship between shift work schedule and onset of insomnia still seems controversial.
