Summary

Resident physicians on night float trialing timed melatonin before daytime sleep; aims to improve consolidation and quality.

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.
