The only real solution appears to be to hand over the night shift to a corps of permanent night workers whose notural (1.WAKE) _______ may persist through all weekends and holidays.An interesting stud of the domestic life and health of night-shift workers was carried out by Brown in 1957. She found a high incidence of disturbed sleep,digestive (ORDER) ______ and domestic disruption among those on alternating day and night shifts,but no (3.NORMAL) _______ occurrence of these symptoms among those onl permanent night work.
This latter system then appears to be the best long-term policy,but meanwhile something may be done to relieve the strains of (4.ALTER) ______ day and night work by selecting those people who can adapt most quickly to changes of routine.One way of knowing when a person has adapted is by measuring his performance,but this can be _______(5.LABOUR). Fortunately,we again have a (6.PHYSIC) _______ measure which correlates reasonably well with the behavioral one,(in this case performance at various times of the day or night) and which is easier to take. This is the level of body temperature,as taken by an ordinary (7.CLINIC) _______ thermometer.People engaged in normal daytime work will have a high temperature during the hours of wakefulness and a low one at night;when they change to night work the pattern will only gradually reverse to match the new routine and the speed with which it does so parallels,(8.BROAD) ________ speaking,the adaptation of the body as a whole,particularly in terms of performance and general (9.ALERT) ______. Therefore b taking body temperature at intervals of two hours throughout the period of wakefulness it can be seen how quickly a person can adapt to a (10.RESERVE) _______ routine,and this could be used as a basis for selection.So far,however,such a form of selection does not seem to have been applied in practiced.
