First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 17, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether a 6-month sleep education program, led by an occupational health nurse, can improve sleep duration in healthcare workers who work 12-hour alternating day-night shifts. 160 nurses and nursing assistants will be enrolled. The program includes an initial sleep doctor consultation and monthly nurse follow-ups. Sleep is measured with a wrist actigraph over 14 days at the start and after 6 months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- sleep education program
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that personalized sleep education helps shift workers sleep longer and reduce health risks.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with no blinding, so results may be influenced by participant motivation or other factors. It only measures sleep, not long-term health outcomes.
