EClocker
The EClocker study looks at the impact of sleep disturbances and shift patterns on the mood and wellbeing of healthcare staff. NHS nurses wear an actigraph device to track their sleep and fill in short daily questionnaires using a smartphone app. Nurses working night shifts then have the opportunity to take part in a sleep intervention using high-tech headphones.
