55% of nurses experience fatigue during work almost always or all the time
The open plan office has been the favourite layout for designers and companies for some time. Not only does it make sense for space planning, it encourages teamwork and collaboration. However, this can be to the detriment of noise levels. The explosion in the use of video conferencing has created a new dimension to this challenge. Having a Zoom call in an open plan office is never a popular decision.
Research suggests that noise and distraction impacts wellness, productivity and even financial performance, yet executives aren’t doing enough to address the problem.
In the Oxford Economics study, 63 percent of employees said they lack quiet space for focused work, which has a negative effect on their productivity, satisfaction and wellbeing. Indeed, employees in the noisiest office environments are more likely to say they may leave their job in the next six months.
96 percent of executives see employee productivity as critical to their financial performance, yet just 40 percent understood the link between noise, distraction and productivity.
Lack of sleep can have a huge impact on people in healthcare and nurses. It can affect the quality of care delivery and overall efficiency. It is essential that medical staff get enough recovery and proper rest. It is critical to find solutions to protect healthcare workers’ mental health and wellbeing.
A way to reduce workplace fatigue and drowsiness of nurses is to provide scheduled nap opportunities.
Studies show how scheduled nap breaks of 20-30 min between 2-5 am and 2-5 pm over a 12h shift can relieve fatigue and drowsiness improving focus and efficiency in the subsequent working hours, boosting performance and productivity.

Lighting can have a huge impact on human health, and behaviour. It can affect mood, performance, levels of fatigue and stress.
Light controls and regulates the circadian rhythm, our body’s internal clock that tells us when to be awake and when to rest, it enables certain chemical reactions in the body such as melatonin production, an essential sleep-promoting hormone.
Appropriate exposure to light is essential for the wellbeing of healthcare workers and patients alike. Sometimes incorporating natural light into a building can be challenging, and even impossible, therefore a combination of natural light and artificial light can take care of the problem.
From a patient perspective, lighting seems to reduce recovery time and reduce the length of stays. Research shows that patients in brighter rooms spend up to 41% less time in hospital than those in darker or windowless rooms.
Natural light can speed up post-operative recovery and be an aid in pain relief, findings show that roughly 22% of patients in bright rooms
with natural light need less pain medication. From an employee’s perspective in the hospital environment, natural light works as a mood booster and can help staff to feel more productive and energised, it can lower stress levels and reduce absenteeism.

Light Cognitive is a system that can reproduce human-centric natural light, with a LED innovation that follows nature’s circadian rhythm. LC brings natural light indoors where we spend 90% of our day. This specialist lighting has different types of LEDs combined to create a light spectrum which is very similar to that found in nature. The light resembles a view of the sky or a horizon, with continuously shifting, infinite colours and infinite resolution, to help restore circadian rhythms and improve sleep quality and overall wellbeing. It is the ideal solution for creating the feeling of a window through the ceiling, for underground spaces or rooms with insufficient lighting. The installations are bespoke and custom-size easy to adapt to a variety of spaces.
