Turkey (Türkiye)40 participantsStarted 2023-12-01

Plain-language summary

This prospective cohort study aims to evaluate the effects of daily daytime power napping on sleep quality, depression, and perceived stress levels among healthy individuals. The study particularly investigates whether these effects differ between daytime workers and shift workers. Participants are required to practice a 15-20 minute (maximum 30 minutes) power nap daily for a period of six weeks. Changes in psychological and sleep parameters are assessed using the Jenkins Sleep Scale (JSS), Beck Depression Scale (BDS), and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) before and after the intervention.
