Can working nights weaken your bones? small study investigates

NCT ID NCT05074277

Summary

This small research study aimed to understand if short-term night shift work disrupts the body's natural bone maintenance process. Researchers studied 20 healthy young adults to see if simulated night shifts temporarily altered blood markers related to bone building and breakdown. The study also tested whether returning to a normal sleep schedule reversed any changes and explored if stress on the nervous system played a role.
