Summary
This study will evaluate the effects of environmental light exposure on the response of the circadian pacemaker to night shift in a large sample of shift workers. It will refine a novel biomathematical model of the circadian pacemaker to improve predictions of circadian timing for individual shift workers. This prediction will inform personalised recommendations to enhance circadian adaptation to night shift and reduce the negative implications of circadian misalignment on health and safety.
