Sleep quality, sleep duration, and sleep disturbances among hospital night workers: a prospective cohort study

ConclusionOur findings suggest that sleep quality, sleep duration and sleep disturbances are separate entities and should be studied separately. Lifestyle factors and work characteristics were generally not associated with poor sleep. Since these factors can have an acute effect on sleep, future research should consider ecological momentary assessment to examine how exposure and outcomes (co)vary within-persons, over time, and across contexts.Trial registration Netherlands Trial Register trial number NL56022.041.16.
