Working Against The Inner Clock

Help With Night Work

15% of all employees constantly work contrary to the demands of the inner clock – they work nights. Night-shift workers must work against the inner clock in two respects. They must work when their organism is programmed for sleep and they go to bed when their organism actually expects to become active. Many night workers suffer from sleep disorder, inner perturbation, stomach problems and cardiovascular disturbances. Night workers in industry know the problems of lows between 2 a.m. and 3 a.m: a higher rate of error, attacks of tiredness and slips in concentration.

Our Recipe For Light

With its 'Light For Vitality' concept, Siteco offers lighting concepts that ensure vitality, health and working performance at all times of day or night. Biological rhythms are coordinated according to production processes, i.e. the need for sleep as well as error rates during night work. Only enough light during working hours / hours of awakeness ensures that rest periods for recuperation are taken full advantage of.

In order to implement high illuminance levels without glare, technical know-how and experience are needed. Siteco has proven in diverse pilot projects the beneficial effects of Light For Vitality, for example at VW Wolsburg or at the Osram works in Eichstätt, Germany.
