The SWISH Study is Currently Recruiting.

We’re looking for night shift nurses and nursing staff (e.g., CNAs) who have trouble sleeping or staying awake to help us develop a non-medication treatment called the Shift Worker Intervention for Sleep Health.

Looking for the OSHIN Study?


The OSHIN Study is now CLOSED.

Come back in 2026 for our results!

This study recruited night shift nursing staff who had trouble falling or staying asleep to test two non-medication treatments for insomnia: cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia, and multicomponent relaxation therapy for insomnia.

Neither of these treatments had been thoroughly tested in people who do shift work. This study adapted these treatments to the unique needs of shift-working nurses.
