The present prospective study aimed to identify risk factors for subsequent clinical burnout. Three hundred eighty-eight working individuals completed a baseline questionnaire regarding work stress, sleep, mood, health, and so forth. During a 2-year period, 15 subjects (7 women and 8 men) of the total sample were identified as "burnout cases," as they were assessed and referred to treatment for clinical burnout. Questionnaire data from the baseline measurement were used as independent variables…

Impaired sleep predicts onset of low back pain and burnout symptoms: evidence from a three-wave study
TLDR
Health promotion initiatives should use sleep quality as an important early risk indicator, and interventions should focus on promoting better quality sleep, in an attempt to reduce the incidence of LBP and burnout in working individuals.
The Relationship between Burnout and Sleep: Four Longitudinal Case Studies
TLDR
Results of this study were that sleep quality and sleep duration went down over time for two of the four burnout cases, and a decelerating trend was found in awakenings for one of the burn out cases during the burnout phase and no-burnout phase.
The Relationship Between Diagnosed Burnout and Sleep Measured by Activity Trackers: Four Longitudinal Case Studies
TLDR
The results of this study answer past calls for longer analysis of sleep’s influence on burnout and highlight the vast opportunity to extend burnout research using the millions of active devices currently in use.
Sleep and biological parameters in professional burnout: A psychophysiological characterization
TLDR
The findings demonstrated the interest of sleep and biological parameters, in particular HbA1C levels, in the characterization of professional burnout in white-collar workers.
The Relation Between Burnout and Sleep Disorders in Medical Students
TLDR
Burnout and sleep disorders have relevant bidirectional effects in medical students in the early phase of medical school and emotional exhaustion and daytime sleepiness showed an important mutual influence.
Sleep disturbances in major depressive and burnout syndrome: A longitudinal analysis
The Impact of Sleep and Circadian Disorders on Physician Burnout.
Sleep Quality as a Mediator in the Relationship Between Perceived Stress and Job Burnout Among Chinese Nurses: A Structural Equation Modeling Analysis
TLDR
Efforts to reduce burnout among nurses in clinical settings may benefit from interventions for coping with perceived stress and practices for promoting healthy sleep.
Work stress, poor recovery and burnout in teachers.
TLDR
Supporting a balance between effort and reward at work may enhance leisure time recovery and improve sleep quality, as well as help to reduce burnout rates.
Burnout, Perceived Stress, Sleep Quality, and Smartphone Use: A Survey of Osteopathic Medical Students
TLDR
These findings suggest independent associations with EE, DP, perceived stress, sleep quality, and smartphone use among medical students, residents, and early-career physicians compared with college graduates of similar age.

TLDR
In a population of employees with no reported sleeping problems, 14.3% developed a sleeping problem during the coming year, and stress in the form of a 'poor' psychosocial work environment doubled the risk of developing a sleep problem.
Sleep and sleepiness in young individuals with high burnout scores.
TLDR
Young subjects with high burnout scores, but who are still working, show more arousals during sleep and an absence of reduced sleepiness during days off, and indicators of impaired recovery were seen within the high-burnout group.
Sleep physiology in recovery from burnout
Disturbed sleep and fatigue in occupational burnout.
TLDR
Investigating sleep with polysomnography and self-ratings and the diurnal pattern of sleepiness and fatigue in a group suffering from severe occupational burnout found impaired sleep may play a role in the development of fatigue or exhaustion in burnout.
Insomnia and sleep quality among primary care physicians with low and high burnout levels.
Burnout and risk factors for cardiovascular diseases.
TLDR
The authors found that scores on burnout plus tension (tense-burnout) were associated with somatic complaints, cholesterol, glucose, triglycerides, uric acid, and, marginally, with ECG abnormalities.
Influence of sleep on symptom improvement and return to work in clinical burnout.
TLDR
The results show that a significant number of clinically burnt-out employees is able to recover in a 6-month period and that sleep plays an important role both in symptom improvement and in return to work.
Demand, control and social climate as predictors of emotional exhaustion symptoms in working Swedish men and women
TLDR
It is indicated that high demands, low decision authority, lack of support at work and downsizing could be important predictors of emotional exhaustion symptoms among working men and women.
