Abstract
The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of sleep disorders and their relationship with the sleep quality, stress, depression and medical variables in a sample of operational staff and compare these variables among shift workers (173 ) and fixed workers (153). We found that shift workers have more sleep disorders such as insomnia, snoring, excessive daytime sleepiness, among others, reported a poorer quality of sleep and have a higher score on depression compared with usual fixed workers. It is important to continue research with shift workers to seek strategies to improve their quality of life.This journal is registered under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License.
