First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether personalized sleep or nutrition advice could help night shift workers sleep better and improve their health. 57 rotating or night shift workers wore smart devices, did alertness tests, and gave blood samples. Researchers compared those who got tailored advice on sleep hygiene, naps, light exposure, or meal timing to a control group. The goal was to see if these simple lifestyle changes could reduce the negative effects of shift work.
