Shift work has increased worldwide in recent years. The use of this form of work organization is a consequence of the increased competition intensified by globalization.

As a result of the disruption of circadian rhythms and the neuro-endocrine changes associated with unhealthy lifestyles, incidence of various diseases increase.
