Abstract
The author analysed importance of chronic sleep disorders for workers’ health and determined their relationships with occupational and non-occupational psycho-emotional stress. The studies covered 1709 females and 1147 males — industrial workers and medical staffers. To study chronic sleep disorders and psycho-emotional stress, the author used special questionnaire and in some cases — data of morbidity registration and working load characteristics (work intensity and working hours per week). Findings are that frequent (3 or more times per week) sleep disorders cause more frequent and long general diseases, increased risk of health deterioration over last year, intense weakness at work and chronic fatigue syndrome. Higher working load is a main factor of occupationally conditioned psycho-emotional stress.
