Sleep hygiene refers to the general rules of behavioral practices and environmental factors that are consistent with good quality sleep. Several studies reported that a program combining sleep hygiene education with cognitive behavioral exercises is an effective method of non-pharmacological intervention for patients with insomnia, but there is insufficient evidence to support that sleep hygiene alone is an effective treatment. Shift work often has a negative impact on health, safety, quality of life, and work performance. Sleep hygiene practices can be helpful in shift workers. A prophylactic nap before night work can be beneficial in attenuating alertness and performance deterioration and decreasing the risk of accidents.

Abstract
Sleep hygiene refers to the general rules of behavioral practices and environmental factors that are consistent with good quality sleep. Several studies reported that a program combining sleep hygiene education with cognitive behavioral exercises is an effective method of non-pharmacological intervention for patients with insomnia, but there is insufficient evidence to support that sleep hygiene alone is an effective treatment. Shift work often has a negative impact on health, safety, quality of life, and work performance. Sleep hygiene practices can be helpful in shift workers. A prophylactic nap before night work can be beneficial in attenuating alertness and performance deterioration and decreasing the risk of accidents.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
