Just finished summarising a study that explored the links between sleep hygiene and shift work disorder within a sample of shift workers. (FYI Shift work disorder is a chronic disruption to circadian rhythms due to working irregular shift schedules.)
In short, the findings supported a body of evidence on the value that sleep hygiene can have on improving sleep factors, with the highest risk of shift work disorder being those with the poorest sleep hygiene.
If you’re a shift worker and/or have sleep-related issues and have not yet assessed your sleep hygiene, then the sleep hygiene index from David Mastin et al. is a quick, 13-item assessment.
Link below to an online sleep hygiene calculator that will take you a minute to complete.
Diving a bit deeper into sleep hygiene may help with your sleep routines.
