Summary

Longitudinal cohort of new nurses following bone and turnover markers under chronic night‑shift exposure.

Why It Matters For Night Shift Workers and Night Owls

An upcoming study is set to evaluate how timing of light, sleep, meals, and schedules shape sleep, alertness, and metabolic markers for people who work nights. Either way, the readout would tell night workers which timing choices actually move outcomes. The value for this audience is clarity: what’s measurable about the schedule, and where timing truly matters.
