Abstract: September 2008) The nature of work continues to change dramatically with the extension of work operations around the clock being one of the most striking alterations. Approximately two in every five workers in the United States work mostly during nonstandard times—evenings, nights, rotating shifts, or weekends.1 Jobs where employees typically work outside of the traditional work shift are among occupations with the largest projected growth in the next decade.2 This anticipated growth has raised concerns over problems faced by employees who work at nonstandard times, such as work hazards, family stability, and substance abuse.3
