TL;DR
The dysbalance in work--rest cycles and circadian biorhythms decreases strongly qualitative and quantitative indices of pilot activities and in some cases this may cause erroneous actions, contingent situations and accidents.
Abstract
It has been shown that circadian rhythms of functional systems of the human body exert a noticeable effect on psychophysiology and reliability parameters of pilots and cadets which may be of special importance in flights on a shift basis. The dysbalance in work--rest cycles and circadian biorhythms decreases strongly qualitative and quantitative indices of pilot activities. In some cases this may cause erroneous actions, contingent situations and accidents.
