Explanation:
e.g.

One Japanese study found that shift workers -- specifically, those who worked 16-hour shifts -- had a 50% higher incidence of diabetes than day workers.

Traditionally, perioperative registered nurses have worked eight-hour shifts. Several new trends in perioperative staffing patterns include fewer but longer work days, in addition to on-call coverage.1

Traditionally, most police departments placed officers on a 40-hour workweek; officers worked 8-hour shifts for five consecutive days, followed by two days off. In recent years, however, an increasing number of agencies have moved to a compressed work schedule in which officers work, for example, four 10-hour shifts or three 12-hour shifts.
