This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Rotating shift work repeatedly forces the sleep-wake schedule against the circadian rhythm, producing chronic misalignment.

Show

A nurse moving between night and day rotations sleeps against her internal clock in both directions.

Watch for

Shift work is not a matter of adjusting. Rotation prevents the adjustment the body would otherwise complete.
