Summary

This interventional study provides shift-working nurses with an educational program promoting Mediterranean-style eating. The program is designed to test whether improving adherence to this diet pattern can also enhance sleep quality and overall wellbeing in a shift-work population. The study remains in the registered phase with no published results yet.

Why It Matters For Night Shift Workers and Night Owls

Irregular hours can make it difficult for night workers to maintain a consistent, healthy diet. The Mediterranean diet—rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats—has strong evidence for supporting metabolic and cardiovascular health. By focusing on education, this study explores whether structured guidance can help shift workers adopt lasting, protective eating habits that also support better sleep.
