Current sleep interventions for shift workers: a mini review to shape a new preventative, multicomponent sleep management programme.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Shift work can lead to sleep disturbances and insomnia during the sleeping period, as well as excessive sleepiness and fatigue during the waking period. While Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT-i) is recommended as the first line of treatment for insomnia, key elements of CBT-i, such as maintaining a consistent sleep schedule, can be challenging for shift workers, highlighting the need for tailored sleep interventions. This mini review provides a narrative synthesis of non-pharmacological sleep interventions for shift workers and informs the development of a preventative, multicomponent sleep management programme.

Method

An informal review was conducted in line with Phase 1 of the Framework for the Development and Evaluation of Complex Interventions.
