AI simplified
Abstract
64% of nurses exhibited an evening chronotype, which is associated with poorer sleep quality during day shifts.
- Nurses working day shifts experienced significantly less total sleep time compared to evening and night shifts.
- Sleep latency and efficiency were notably worse for nurses during day shifts than for other shift types.
- Evening chronotype nurses reported poorer sleep quality during day shifts compared to those with an intermediate chronotype.
- The findings suggest that chronotype may influence sleep quality in relation to shift type.
