A power nap during the night shift

27 June 2012

Police officers benefit from taking power naps during night shifts. This has been shown by research conducted by chronobiologist Marijke Gordijn together with the Drenthe police corps. She recently presented her research report: De nachtdienst ‘verlicht’ [‘Lightening’ night shifts].

The weekly online video magazine Unifocus highlights topics related to the University of Groningen in the fields of research and society, student life, teaching, policy and internationalization.
