This study explores the thermoregulation impact on various health risks among night shift workers. Specifically, the study focuses on Sleep Temperature and how it can potentially lead to health conditions such as Obesity, Diabetes, Cardiovascular diseases, Digestive issues, etc. Through the usage of a cross-sectional survey with 167 participants, this study aims to find out what type of sleep temperature participants sleep in and how it affects their overall health. The results of this study illustrate a relation between high sleep temperature and higher amounts of health complaints such as weight gain, sleep disorders, heart diseases, etc. Through maintaining thermoregulation during sleep these dangerous health risks among night shift workers can be prevented. This research brings a new perspective on occupational health on how maintaining optimal temperature during sleep can minimize health conditions among night shift workers. Further study should be conducted on this topic to find other factors that can be optimized to reduce health risks among night shift workers.
