Summary

This study tests whether using a virtual reality headset for guided relaxation after night shifts can improve sleep quality in nurses and nursing assistants. Forty participants will either use the VR device for one month or receive standard care, then switch. Sleep quality, insomnia severity, and anxiety levels will be measured with questionnaires.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Virtual reality relaxation sessions
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way for night-shift caregivers to sleep better after work.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early-stage trial with only 40 participants. The effect may be small or not last, and results may not apply to all shift workers.
