ABSTRACT

Shift work sleep disorder (SWSD) commonly affects those who work outside the typical 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. work day. Shift work schedules go against internal body clocks or circadian rhythms. SWSD is acknowledged to hamper with a person’s normal level of work performance and causes difficulties adjusting to a different sleep/wake schedule resulting in lack of refreshing sleep. It can cause chronic sleep deprivation; this kind of persistent loss of sleep has grave implications for health, productivity and safety. Ayurved along with Yoga may give a ray of hope to overcome SWSD. Ayurved procedure like oil massage and Yoga postures like shavasana,Yog Nidra and Pranayam might be helpful .There is a strong need for intervention programmes in shift workers to conquer the problem of shift work sleep disorder.
