Is Body Weight Linked to Napping During Night Work?
AI simplified
Abstract
In a study of 409 night-shift nursing professionals, napping during shifts may mitigate the association between night work and increased BMI levels.
- Non-nappers experienced a significant increase in BMI levels correlated with the number of working nights and years of night work.
- No similar increase in BMI was observed in nappers, suggesting a potential protective effect of on-shift napping.
- The findings indicate that on-shift napping could be beneficial for weight management among night workers.
- This research highlights the need for occupational health policies to consider the regulation of on-shift napping in nursing.
