Geiger-Brown J, Rogers VE, Trinkoff AM, et al. Chronobiol Int. 2012;29(2).

This study found that nurses working successive 12-hour shifts accrue significant sleep debt, regardless of whether these shifts occur in the daytime or at night. Further work should examine the effects of nurse fatigue on patient outcomes.
