Night shift work causes insomnia.

INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that night shift work causes insomnia?

Unclear. Several sources report that night shift workers commonly experience insomnia or disrupted sleep, including a large survey in which over half of regular night shift workers screened positive for at least one sleep disorder. However, these are associational findings in specific populations, and none establishes that night shift work itself causes insomnia in general.
