    Long work hours and lack of sleep among hospital nurses can negatively impact their mental health and increase medical errors. A study of over 1,000 nurses in Japan found that those working shifts of 10 hours or more and getting less than 6 hours of sleep were more likely to report poor mental health and make errors. Ensuring nurses have adequate rest between shifts may help improve their well-being and patient safety.
