This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing a sleep improvement program called SWISH (Shift Worker Intervention for Sleep Health) designed specifically for nurses who work night shifts and have trouble sleeping. The program uses proven techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia, but it's adapted to fit the unique challenges that shift workers face. You would receive the treatment through video sessions with a trained sleep specialist.
Nurses who work night shifts often struggle with insomnia in ways that regular sleep problems don't address—their sleep troubles happen both when they're trying to rest and when they're awake during unusual hours. This study exists to develop and test a treatment that specifically targets these shift-work-related sleep problems.

You would be randomly assigned to either start the sleep therapy program right away or to a waiting list (which gets the program later). If you're in the active group, you'll have weekly video sessions with a sleep specialist lasting 30 to 60 minutes each, where you'll learn and practice techniques to improve your sleep tailored to your shift schedule. If you're in the waiting list group, you'll complete brief weekly check-ins but won't receive treatment during the waiting period, after which you'll be offered the full program.
