Abstract

This chapter aims to provide knowledge about the impact of insufficient and poor-quality sleep on wellness and burnout among resident physicians. This information may additionally be of value to practicing physicians who have already completed their training. Strategies aimed at prioritizing sleep, adopting healthy sleep habits, and recovering from sleep deficits are discussed with a focus on promoting well-being and optimal functioning on the job.
