Description
Yingxiu Wang, Sizhe Xu, Jingzhu Guo, and Timothy Noel Stephens survey sleep among hospital staff in Haikou, China, just after the COVID pandemic, in a 2026 study. Poor sleep harms health workers and patient safety alike, yet post-pandemic drivers were unclear. In April 2023 the team invited clinical staff at one large hospital to answer a 33-item survey. Replies came from 525 staff and covered sleep quality, anxiety, and low mood with standard short scales.
Over half the staff scored in the poor sleep range. Nurses slept worse than doctors and other clinical staff, while staff with more schooling slept better. Night shifts, anxiety, and low mood each linked to worse sleep on their own. The authors urge hospitals to spot staff at risk early and to test ways of guarding sleep in shift-based care.
