Summary

This study looks at how sleep quality affects surgeons' ability to perform surgery, both mentally and technically. Researchers will measure sleep patterns and give some surgeons a personalized sleep consultation, including advice on sleep habits and possibly therapy for insomnia. The goal is to see if better sleep leads to improved surgical performance. This is a small, early-stage study with 20 surgeons from the Yorkshire and Humber region.

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Sleep intervention (behavioral: sleep consultation, hygiene advice, CBTi)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that improving sleep helps surgeons perform better, potentially leading to better patient outcomes.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early feasibility study with only 20 participants, so results may not apply widely. The intervention may not significantly improve performance.
