Overview

The goal of this project is to establish the evidence base for equitable accessibility and implementation of the precision sleep medicine mobile application, SHIFT.

Interventions

  • Other Personalized circadian mHealth
    SHIFT is a mobile application designed to improve sleep in night shift workers. The SHIFT mobile application is used to collect data from an Apple Watch to assess an individual shift worker's body-clock timing and make personalized recommendations of light exposure schedules that are designed to align the body-clock with the night shift work schedule.

Primary outcome measures

  • Establish the effect of SHIFT on stakeholder-centered outcomes. [Time frame: From enrollment to the 8 month point.]
  • Compare use experience and accuracy of SLEEP Android to the original iOS version. [Time frame: From enrollment to the 8 month point.]
Secondary outcome measures (1)
  • Assess facilitators and barriers to engagement and implementation. [Time frame: Immediately following completion of 8-month treatment period.]

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion criteria

  • Inadequate sleep duration (habitual sleep less than 7 hours during the day)
  • Willingness to download the SHIFT app and follow the lighting recommendations
  • Ability to follow a set sleep schedule of 7 hours in bed after the night shifts
  • Working at least 4 night shifts a month
  • Shifts that must begin between 18:00 and 02:00 and last 8 to 12 hours
  • Score of 8 or above on the Epworth Sleepiness scale and/or a score of 8 or above on the Insomnia Severity Index

Exclusion criteria

  • Other independent sleep disorders (e.g., obstructive sleep apnea, narcolepsy, etc.)
  • History of seizures or other significant neurological disorders
  • Bipolar disorder
  • Termination of shift schedule
  • Pregnancy
  • Current use of medications that impact sleep-wake functioning
  • Alcohol and substance use disorder
