Abstract Night-shift duties have become a routine part of many occupational roles, especially in information technology organizations. Working during nighttime hours often interferes with natural biological rhythms, heightens stress, and reduces sleep quality. Over time, these disruptions may contribute to psychosomatic complaints such as tiredness, headaches, digestive difficulties, and changes in mood. The present study, “Yoga-Based Intervention for Reducing Psychosomatic Symptoms among Night-Shift Workers,” seeks to examine whether a structured yoga program can effectively alleviate these concerns. The study will adopt a randomized controlled trial design and include night-shift employees aged 21–60 who regularly complete at least three night shifts per week. Participants will be randomly placed into an intervention group practicing yoga or a control group with no such training. The yoga group will take part in guided sessions two to three times a week for four weeks, scheduled around their shifts for convenience. Outcome measures, including the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and standardized psychosomatic symptom questionnaires, will be administered before and after the intervention. It is expected that individuals in the yoga group will show reductions in psychosomatic symptoms, along with improvements in sleep quality and perceived stress. The study aims to establish yoga as a practical, affordable, and holistic approach to improving the well-being of night-shift workers.
Keywords Night shift workers, Psychosomatic symptoms, Sleep Quality, Perceived stress.
