摘要

Abstract

Circadian clocks have important physiological and behavioral functions in humans and other organisms

which enable organisms to anticipate and respond to periodic environmental changes. Disturbances in circadian rhythms impair sleep

metabolism

and behavior. People with jet lag

night workers and shift workers are vulnerable to circadian misalignment. In addition

non-24-h cycles influence circadian rhythms and cause misalignment and disorders in different species

since these periods are beyond the entrainment ranges. In certain special conditions

e.g.

on submarines and commercial ships

non-24-h watch schedules are often employed

which have also been demonstrated to be deleterious to circadian rhythms. Personnel working under such conditions suffer from circadian misalignment with their on-watch hours

leading to increased health risks and decreased cognitive performance. In this review

we summarize the research progress and knowledge concerning circadian rhythms on submarines and other environments in which non-24-h watch schedules are employed.
