Background: Shift Work Sleep Disorder (SWSD) is characterized by insomnia and/or excessive daytime sleepiness due to disrupted work and sleep schedules. SWSD can cause diminished workplace performance and increased accidents. Aim and Objective: The aim was to evaluate the prevalence and predictors of SWSD, and its impact on occupational accidents among rotating textile workers. Methods: A survey was conducted among 217 workers between April and June 2024. Sleep-related conditions were assessed using the STOP-BANG (SB), Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and Insomnia Severity Index (ISI). SWSD was diagnosed in individuals with the scores of ISI ≥8 and/or ESS ≥11, provided SB <5 to exclude sleep apnoea. Results: After excluding 15 participants with SB ≥5, 202 workers (7.9% women) were included in the study. SWSD was diagnosed in 68 workers (33.6%, median age 29 years). SWSD was associated with younger age (OR: 0.928, p<0.001), having fewer children (OR: 0.663, p=0.005), higher alcohol consumption (OR: 1.139, p=0.04), poor sleep quality (OR: 11.740, p<0.001), shorter sleep duration (OR: 0.994, p=0.003), and longer sleep latency (OR: 2.361, p=0.005). Out of 68 participants with SWSD, 45.6% had occupational accidents, whereas 30.6% of those without SWSD had accidents (p>0.036). Higher BMI (OR: 1.140, p=0.001) and insomnia (OR: 2.399, p=0.008) were associated with increased risk of accidents. Conclusions: The present results show that one third of the shift workers have SWSD, contributing to occupational accidents in 45.6% of them. SWSD poses a significant burden on shift workers and targeted interventions are crucial.
