What this Trial Is About
This research project is investigating the impact of sleep quality on cognitive and laparoscopic surgical performance. The background to this study is the growing recognition that factors beyond technical skill, such as sleep, can significantly influence a surgeon's performance. The aim is to understand how sleep patterns affect surgeons' ability to perform surgical tasks, both technically and cognitively. After this, we will aim to see if a targeted sleep intervention has a positive impact on technical skills and cognitive performance. This is a preliminary feasibility study and is part of ongoing research by the research team.
