Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Insomnia in shift workers has distinctive features due to circadian rhythm disruption caused by reversed or unstable sleep-wake cycle work schedules. While previous studies have primarily focused on a limited number of predictors for insomnia severity in shift workers, there is a need to further explore key predictors, and develop a data-driven prediction model for insomnia in shift workers. This study aims to identify potential predictors of insomnia severity in shift workers using a machine learning (ML) approach and evaluate the accuracy of the resulting prediction model.
