Abstract:
The prevalence of burnout amongst primary care physicians (PCPs) in Singapore is likely to be high. Burnout has a negative impact on sleep quality, and poor sleep quality in turn feeds into burnout resulting in a vicious perpetuating cycle. Evidenced-based behavioural strategies can be useful to help improve sleep quality, which in turn contributes to the amelioration of burnout. This article details some of the evidence-based behavioural strategies that PCPs can use to improve their own sleep quality if used consistently.
