Study of attention changes during shift work fatigue
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses special brain recording to see how fatigue from demanding hospital shifts affects attention in healthy adults. You might help researchers understand fatigue risk and how attention changes during emergency or intensive care work.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a healthy adult (not a patient in this study).
- You are a medical resident aged 24 to 34 years.
- You work in emergency, intensive care, or similar hospital “inside” shifts.
- You do not have a history of epilepsy (seizures).
- You are not taking sleep/anxiety meds or seizure-related medicines that can affect brain-recording results (like benzodiazepines or anti-epileptics).
- You can safely stay on your current background meds during the study (if you take any).

This study looks at how night shifts affect fatigue and eye movements in radiologists. It uses a watch to track your activity and eye-tracking technology to measure how tired you are during night work.
This study looks at how sleep and mindfulness affect the safety and quality of care that nurses provide during their shifts in perianesthesia or recovery room settings. If you join, you'll track your sleep and mindfulness habits and researchers will observe certain safety-related tasks during your regular shifts to see if there's a connection.
This study asks people to do tasks while the researchers measure brain activity, to understand how the brain represents the “cost” of effort. It may help improve understanding of effort-related problems in mental and neurological conditions.
This study looks at blood samples to understand how sleep loss affects the body. It may help find new ways to diagnose or treat sleep problems.
This study tests a form of brain/nerve stimulation to see how it affects fatigue. It is looking for healthy adults, which helps researchers understand the effects without other illnesses.
This study tests whether a fatigue coaching program can help reduce tiredness and improve how you feel and function during your night shifts. If you take part, you'll wear a Fitbit and get support through texts and coaching sessions.
