Smith, Mark; Eastman, Charmane. "Shift work: health, performance and safety problems, traditional countermeasures, and innovate management strategies to reduce circadian misalignment." Nature and Science of Sleep, 2012(4), 111-132. Web. 13 Nov. 2014.
Two members of the team working out of the Biological Rhythms Research Lab at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago have teamed up to explain and offer helpful solutions on how to make the night shift safer, especially for those working in the medical field who have lives in their hands. Their job is to look at patterns with sleep, more importantly "circadian rhythm", which is the pattern in which humans sleep. They emphasize, "There is no way to reduce circadian misalignment for a rapid rotation that includes both night shifts and day shifts, because the circadian clock cannot phase-shift fast enough" (Smith). There research brings up two main problems....
