Summary:Abstract Introduction More than 22 million Americans work rotating or night shifts. Shift work has been associated with irregular sleep schedules, circadian rhythm misalignment, and insufficient sleep. Insufficient sleep has been associated with negative outcomes in the workplace. This study examined some attributes of sleep and the workplace among a population of hospital employees. Methods A sample of OSF HealthCare Saint Francis Medical Center employees (n=573, age 18–69) who worked various shifts (day, night, evening and rotating) completed a 20-question survey about several aspects of sleep, including quantity and quality, and workplace outcomes, including sleepiness, efficiency, mood, and interactions. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed. Results Evening and night shift workers (n= 47, 138 respectively) were more likely than day shift workers (n=366) to report sleeping less than 5.5 hours before a work night (n=11, 63, 66 (23.5%, 45.7%, 18.0%) p
