Shift Work Sleep Disorder (SWSD) is a circadian rhythm sleep disorder characterized by disruptions in the sleep-wake cycle, primarily affecting individuals who work non-traditional hours or rotating shifts. The irregular work schedule often leads to a misalignment between the body's natural circadian rhythms and the demands of the job, causing difficulties in achieving restorative sleep. 


Common symptoms include excessive sleepiness, insomnia, and overall reduced sleep quality. For those grappling with SWSD, the use of medications such as Modalert 200 Tablets Australia may be considered. Modalert 200mg contains modafinil, a wakefulness-promoting agent that helps individuals stay alert and focused during their waking hours. Despite potential benefits, it is important to use such medications under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
