Workplace napping policies and outcomes: scoping review
Summary
Maps night‑shift napping policies, implementation barriers, and reported effects on alertness and safety across industries.
Why It Matters For Night Shift Workers and Night Owls
A scoping review how brief, scheduled on‑shift naps (timing/length) summarizes evidence that sleep & alertness for night‑shift workers and night owls. Findings add structure to the idea that the circadian low can be managed by how rest is divided and timed on duty. For people who work nights, that frames an everyday choice (when you eat, how you light the end of a shift, how rest is split) as part of the mechanism, not just routine.
