A sample of 23 radiology residents working night-float shifts demonstrated declines in attention, speed, and complex reasoning ability following sequential administration of standardized neurocognitive performance tests. While the sample size is small, these findings demonstrate the potential deleterious effects of night-float shift work and provide evidence to support further inquiry into this phenomenon.
