Visual evoked potential changes among security guards of Government Medical College and New Civil Hospital, Surat
Summary:
This paper discusses the negative effects of night shift work on the visual evoked potential (VEP) of security guards, suggesting that long-term shift work may impair general health.
Categories
- Sleep and insomnia: The paper discusses the effects of sleep interruption and disturbance of circadian rhythm among night shift workers.
- Alertness and performance: The paper suggests that night shift work can have a deleterious effect on performance, potentially due to the disruption of circadian rhythm.
- Shift work: The paper focuses on the effects of rotating night shift work on the visual evoked potential (VEP) of security guards.
- Cognitive function and memory: The paper suggests that night shift work may impair cognitive function, as evidenced by changes in visual evoked potential (VEP).
