Parents’working schedules and sleep‐wake issues in adolescents attending school in shifts

We examined how parental engagement in shift work affected sleep and daytime functioning of 1368 Croatian adolescents (11-18 years) attending school in rotating shifts and living with both parents. Negative effect of parents’ shiftwork on adolescents’ sleep was not found. Significant negative effects on depressed mood and daytime sleepiness were demonstrated. Sleepiness made the greatest contribution to depressed mood, but did not cancel out the contribution of shiftwork as a predictor of depressed mood. The results add to previous knowledge on the negative effects of parents’ engagement in shift work on the sleep patterns of adolescents.
