Night Shift Work, On-shift Napping, and Endothelial Function: A Pilot Study

NCT05436951 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 10

Last updated 2024-01-08

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and CVD risk factors such as high blood pressure (BP) are disproportionately higher among night shift workers, including those who work in public safety and healthcare. The purpose of this pilot study is to assess feasibility of collecting data germane to key indicators of cardiovascular health (i.e., ambulatory blood pressure) repeatedly during a simulated night shift protocol. The primary outcome measure will be the number of participants for which at least 70% of required ambulatory BP measures were collected. A result of at least 10 participants/subjects will be considered feasible.

Conditions

  • Blood Pressure
  • Endothelial Dysfunction

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Brief on-shift nap

The brief nap opportunity will allow for a 45-minute nap between the hours of 0200 and 0300 during the in-lab 12-hour simulated night shift.
