First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
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.
What this could mean
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.
