Adaptive sleep behaviours and shift work tolerance during the transition to shift work
These findings suggest clear SWT levels exist early in paramedics' careers whereby symptoms of depression, anxiety, and insomnia were the strongest contributors to SWT. New paramedics' sleep behaviours, including sleep regularity and prioritisation of longer sleep between nightshifts, may play an important role in influencing how paramedics tolerate shift work.
