Summary: The study found that sleep parameters and fatigue level could affect the decline in alertness of nurses across different shifts, especially those with lower alertness scores. Therefore, nursing managers and institutions should develop interventions to help reduce fatigue, improve sleep quality and quantity, and enhance alertness among rotating-shift nurses.

Summary: This study found that there is no significant correlation between changes in subjective sleepiness and objective vigilance during sleep deprivation. Using functional connectivities, it was discovered that different patterns of functional connectivity underlie the isolation of these two factors during sleep deprivation.

Summary: This study examines the impact of nightshift work on decision-making competence and performance, and finds that nightshift work can lead to a decline in decision-making competence. Furthermore, individual differences in the need for cognition moderate the effects of nightshift work on decision-making.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the recovery patterns and differences after total sleep deprivation (TSD) and chronic sleep restriction (SR). Results showed that deficits in cognitive performance, self-reported sleepiness, and other measures were reversed after recovery sleep, except for some measures which failed to completely recover. This suggests that TSD and SR induce sustained, differential biological, physiological, and/or neural changes that are not reversed with chronic, long-duration recovery sleep.

Summary: This study aimed to identify the working conditions associated with fatigue based on shift patterns and determine their thresholds. The results showed that working hours and the number of night shifts are important factors for two-shift rotation, and working hours for the assignment of midnight shift are important for three-shift rotations. Nurse managers should schedule shifts according to nurses' shift patterns.

Summary: The study found that subjective sleepiness acts as an early warning system for subsequent drowsiness and performance impairment, showing a strong correlation within individuals. While between-subject correlations were more modest, suggesting different individual vulnerabilities to sleep loss.

Summary: This study explored the association between shift work schedules, compensatory sleep, work-family conflict, and fatigue among nurses in critical care units. The results showed that work-family conflict, daytime sleepiness, and working 12-hour shifts were significantly related to physical fatigue. Work-family conflict, sleep duration after night shifts, and daytime sleepiness were significantly associated with mental fatigue. Therefore, nursing managers and nurses should consider work-family factors and compensatory sleep in order to reduce fatigue.

Summary: The study developed a method for detecting sleep-like events in awake humans using fMRI signal templates, allowing for analysis of these events in fMRI data. It found that frequent sleep-like events occurred during cognitive tasks after sleep deprivation, associated with a reduction in pupil size and prolonged response time, while co-existing with task-related brain activity.

Summary: Research on fatigue biomathematical models for predicting subjective sleepiness showed high prediction accuracy. The study identified differences between subjective and objective outcomes predictions, highlighting potential risks in safety-sensitive operations such as commercial aviation. The validated model provides a useful quantitative tool to bridge this previously unrecognized gap.

Summary: This study explored the salivary biomarkers associated with nurses' chronic fatigue and found that cortisol and secretory immunoglobulin A (s-IgA) levels were related to the severity of chronic fatigue. Specifically, low cortisol levels and high s-IgA levels were associated with higher levels of irritability and unwillingness to work. Combining cortisol and s-IgA levels further revealed different profiles that influenced nurses' chronic fatigue.

Summary: Extended wakefulness impairs cognitive performance and brain glucose metabolism. A ketogenic diet, providing ketone bodies as an alternative fuel source, improves cognitive performance, mood, and sleepiness during extended wakefulness compared with a carbohydrate-based diet.

Summary: This paper introduces an hourly risk index, which is the only model that can predict risk at the hourly level. Analyzing Belgian railway data, the results show a significant correlation between high risk index values and the occurrence of safety-critical errors, as well as a correlation between error severity and increased risk. The performance of the hourly risk index is better under conditions of low or high workload.

Summary: The study found that the changes in vigilance and sleepiness during 12-hour nursing shifts were not significant, although there may be a slight deterioration in psychomotor vigilance test results over time. However, there was no decline in self-perception of work quality. To ensure quality of care, nurses may adopt specific coping strategies such as taking naps.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the influence of working time and work characteristics on sleep disturbance among night-shift workers. The findings showed that extended work, higher workload, and emotional work demands were significant factors for sleep disturbance among night-shift workers.

Summary: Overtime work is common among Cambodian nurses, with more than a fifth working more than 48 hours per week. Reasons for overtime include not wanting to let down colleagues and being able to complete all work, while the number of patients cared for affects whether nurses work overtime.

Summary: This study aimed to develop and assess preliminary feasibility of a bright white light (BWL) therapy intervention for supporting circadian health of adolescent cancer survivors. Eight adolescents participated, using BWL on average 61% of days for 15 minutes per day. Results showed that adverse events were generally mild, with one participant discontinuing BWL due to persistent nausea. Future studies with larger samples are needed to verify the feasibility and determine the safety and effectiveness of this intervention in supporting circadian activity rhythms.
