Clinical Trial Summary

Night shift work is well known to cause health disruption in short and long term. It has been reported that among healthcare workers, nurses slept less than 6 h/24h. Consequences of such short sleep duration has been associated to long term issues such as endothelial dysfunction associated with cardiovascular diseases, arterial hypertension and type 2 diabetes. Countermeasures such as nap at work has potential effects on reducing the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases. However, to our knowledge, no studies have objectively investigated the effects of napping on endothelial function in a longitudinal design. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effect of a 30 minutes on-duty nap during night work for 12 weeks on caregivers endothelial dysfunction.
