Background summary
Approximately 6000 service members of the Netherands Armed Forces (NAF) are
regularly exposed to shift work and, thus, night work. NAF shiftworkers include
employees of the NAF Security Organization. Recent guidelines on shift work and
health suggest that light intervention is a promising mitigating strategy in
shiftwork, but research has focused on health care population only so far.
Study objective
Aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of light glasses when used
during night shifts, in terms of individual strength (fatigue, concentration,
motivation, physical activity) and need for recovery.
Study design
Randomised controlled cross-over study with two intervention groups
Intervention
Use of Propeaq light glasses before and after night shifts in a period of 5
consecutive weeks
Study burden and risks
Participants are requested to:
- use the light glasses during night shifts (before 30 minutes, after 30-45
minutes) in a period of 5 consecutive weeks
- fill in questionnares (15 minutes) at 3 time points in the study
- wear a fitness tracker for 5 consecutive days at 3 time points in the study
No clear risks or health damage has been reported from using light glasses in a
healthy population, Some people have reported mild complaints such as headache,
dry or teary eyes, or diziness.
