A circadian rhythm is the cycle of a human throughout the day, including the sleep cycle.<\/p>\n<p>Humans operate the best when they adhere to their circadian rhythm with minimal interruptions. However, the schedules and shift-work nature of construction often disrupt the rhythm, negatively affecting construction mental health.<\/p>\n<h3>The study employers should consider the impact of irregular routines<\/h3>\n<p>The study&#8217;s results suggest that the non-routine nature of construction work may be causing, or have a hand in causing, negative mental health impacts on construction workers.<\/p>\n<p>The study says: &#8220;Practically, the findings offer invaluable insights for shaping workplace policies that mitigate the adverse effects of disrupted circadian rhythms. Employers can use this research to implement flexible work schedules and promote sleep health programs, directly addressing the specific safety and health concerns identified.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These evidence-based interventions, such as educational programs on sleep hygiene and adjustments to work shift timings, can significantly enhance the wellbeing of construction workers. Furthermore, the study\u2019s implications extend beyond the local context, offering a globally applicable framework. International construction companies can leverage these insights to improve worker safety and productivity by better managing work schedules and promoting healthier sleep practices.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Ultimately, this study not only contributes to academic discourse but also provides practical solutions to enhance the health and safety of construction workers worldwide.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A study published by\u00a0Frontiers in Built Environment\u00a0shows a correlation between long hours with construction mental health.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":32,"featured_media":143250,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[309],"tags":[923],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-143234","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-health-safety-news","8":"tag-mental-health"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Study finds lack of sleep affects construction workers mental health<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A study published by\u00a0Frontiers in Built Environment\u00a0shows a correlation between long hours with construction mental health\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/health-safety-news\/new-study-finds-irregular-schedules-and-long-hours-affect-mental-health-of-construction-workers\/143234\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"New study finds irregular schedules and long hours affect mental health of construction workers\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"A study published by\u00a0Frontiers in Built Environment\u00a0shows a correlation between long hours with construction mental health\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/health-safety-news\/new-study-finds-irregular-schedules-and-long-hours-affect-mental-health-of-construction-workers\/143234\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
