Abstract

Work with night shift is an obligate necessity of modern industrial urban society. In developed countries in the work on the night shift use up to 20%. These categories of workers are definitely the locomotive drivers. The consequence of a regular work with night shifts is a violation of human circadian rhythms, which, through dysregulation of the autonomic nervous system, is reflected in a greater risk of disease and transport accidents. The need to find ways and criteria of preventive monitoring dysregulatory changes in the human body is an urgent and challenging issue in terms of the health of the working population, disease prevention, and transportation security.
