abstract=" Purpose : Shift work disorders (SWD) are caused by the  divergence between external requirements concerning sleep-wake cycles during the  day and the  preferred time of  sleep arising from our biological clock. Their symptoms include excessive sleepiness during working hours as well as sleep disorders, deterioration of  functioning and numerous adverse health consequences.    Case description : Shift work disorders treatment involves the  implementation of  behavioural interventions in order to promote activity during working hours, improve sleep quality and adapt the  endogenous sleep-wake rhythm to a  shift work schedule. The  pharmacological treatment of  SWD involves the  use of  melatonin or melatoninergic drugs.   Comment:   The  purpose of  this article is to present the  impact of  shift work on health and daily functioning as well as to discuss the  treatment methods.",
