Summary
Tests whether 3 mg melatonin prior to daytime sleep shifts markers of DNA damage repair capacity in night‑shift workers.
Why It Matters For Night Shift Workers and Night Owls
A trial registration outlines how researchers will examine whether a stable daytime eating window with minimal overnight intake changes sleep & alertness for people who work nights. A clear effect would move meal‑timing from preference to evidence in a night‑work context. The value for this audience is clarity: what’s measurable about the schedule, and where timing truly matters.
