Sleep Compensation on Work-Free days Is Associated with Better Sleep Quality.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Purpose: Sleep of sufficient duration and quality is crucial for physical and mental health and performance. In modern urban society, work-related factors such as perceived workload and limited sleep duration on workdays appear to have a significant impact on sleep and well-being. Our current study examines both subjective and objective measures of sleep on workdays and work-free, as well as their associations. Methods: The study combines questionnaires and longitudinal wearable (Fitbit Inspire 2) sleep data from young, healthy adults (aged 18-48 years) in a German metropolitan region (n = 67). Associations were investigated by Spearman correlation analyses with a 95% confidence interval. Results: Perceived workload was associated with symptoms of depression/anxiety, daytime dysfunction, as well as subjective sleep quality, in particular on workdays. Sleep and sleep stages were objectively longer and later on work-free days than on work-days. Likewise, objective sleep efficiency and subjective sleep quality were higher on work-free days. Longer sleep duration, thus sleep compensation, on work-free days was associated with subjectively more restful and better sleep, and objectively with later phase and a higher proportion of REM sleep. Conclusion: These data suggest that work-related sleep loss should be avoided whenever possible or at least compensated for on work-free days in order to achieve not only sufficient sleep duration but also good sleep quality, which is pivotal for mental health and performance.
