High‑Intensity Light Exposure for ICU Nurses on Night Shifts
Summary
Unit‑level trial of bright light early on shift to reduce fatigue and bolster alertness, with attention to post‑shift sleep impact.
Why It Matters For Night Shift Workers and Night Owls
An upcoming study is set to evaluate how timing and spectrum of light around the end of shift influence sleep & alertness for people who work nights. Unambiguous results would translate ‘better lighting’ into practical timing and spectrum specs for nights. The value for this audience is clarity: what’s measurable about the schedule, and where timing truly matters.
