Photic Resetting in Night-Shift Work: Impact on Nurses' Sleep
Abstract
The objective of this study was to quantify daytime sleep in night-shift workers with and without an intervention designed to recover the normal relationship between the endogenous circadian pacemaker and the sleep/wake cycle. Workers of the treatment group received intermittent exposure to full-spectrum bright light during night shifts and wore dark goggles during the morning commute home. All workers maintained stable 8-h daytime sleep/darkness schedules. The authors found that workers of the treatment group had daytime sleep episodes that lasted 7.1 ± .1 h (mean ± SEM) versus 6.6 ± .2 h for workers in the control group (p = .04). The increase in total sleep time co-occurred with a larger proportion of the melatonin secretory episode during daytime sleep in workers of the treatment group. The results of this study showed reestablishment of a phase angle that is comparable to that observed on a day-oriented schedule favors longer daytime sleep episodes in night-shift workers.

Previous studies in simulated and real-world shift work show that rhythms of circadian markers are resistant to phase shifting, indicating the endogenous SCN rhythm is slow to adapt to shift work schedules.
“Previous studies in both simulated (10, 11) and real-world (12, 13) shift work have shown that the rhythms of these circadian markers are resistant to phase shifting, indicating that the endogenous SCN rhythm is slow to adapt to shift work schedules.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
