“…Furthermore, sleep plays a central role in replenishing energetic resources (Barnes et al, 2011;Baumeister, 2002). Sleep is key to the recovery of biological functions and in restoring the capacity of the human brain (Gander et al, 2011;Saper, Scammell, & Lu, 2005). Sleep consequently not only replenishes physical but also mental energy that is necessary for any kind of self-regulatory behaviour, including attention regulation.…”

“…Psychological detachment after work describes an ‘individual's sense of being away from the work situation’ (p. 579; Etzion, Eden, & Lapidot, ), and it captures the extent to which individuals manage to disengage from work‐related activities, feelings, and thoughts (Sonnentag & Fritz, , ). Furthermore, sleep quality is vital for day‐to‐day recovery as sleep serves the restoration of human brain capacity (Gander, Graeber, & Belenky, ).…”

While previous work on mindfulness has focused predominantly on the benefits of mindfulness and of mindfulness interventions, the present article addresses the question of how natural experiences of mindfulness can be promoted in the context of work. Accordingly, this article sheds light on day‐to‐day fluctuations in workload and recovery experiences (psychological detachment and sleep quality) as antecedents of state mindfulness. Furthermore, this study extends extant research that has documented beneficial effects of mindfulness on subsequent recovery experiences by arguing that the relationship between mindfulness and recovery experiences is reciprocal rather than unidirectional. Using an experience‐sampling design across five workdays and involving three daily measurement occasions, we found that sleep quality and workload were related to subsequent levels of mindfulness. While not displaying a significant direct relationship with mindfulness, psychological detachment was indirectly related to mindfulness via sleep quality. Fatigue was identified as an important mechanism explaining these relationships. Furthermore, findings confirmed that the relationship between mindfulness and recovery experiences is reciprocal rather than unidirectional. Taken together, this study contributes to an enriched understanding of the role of mindfulness in organizations by shedding light on factors that precede the experience of mindfulness and by pointing to the existence of gain spirals associated with recovery experiences and mindfulness.Practitioner points Organizations seeking to promote mindfulness among their workforce should try to keep workload to a manageable degree.Organizations may also pay attention to care for employees' day‐to‐day recovery as it has been shown to facilitate mindfulness.

Workers’ fatigue is a significant problem in modern industry, largely because of high demand jobs, long duty periods, disruption of circadian rhythms, and accumulative sleep debt that are common in many industries. Fatigue is the end result of integration of multiple factors such as time awake, time of day, and workload. Then, the full understanding of circadian biologic clock, dynamics of transient and cumulative sleep loss, and recovery is required for effective management of workplace fatigue. It can be more investigated in a new field of sleep medicine called occupational sleep medicine. Occupational sleep medicine is concerned with maintaining best productivity and safety in the industrial settings. The fatigue risk management system (FRMS) is a comprehensive approach that is based on applying scientific evidence of sleep knowledge to manage workers fatigue. It is developing rapidly in the highly safety demand jobs; especially truck drivers, pilots, and power plant workers. The objective of this review is to explain about fatigue in the workplace with emphasis on its association work performance and errors/accidents. Also, we discussed about different methods of fatigue measurement and management.

“…draw on examples including referring to surveys with Australians where 44% of navy crew worked longer than 80 hours, and 62% reported a lack of sleep (referring to Grech et al ., 2003). Research on New Zealand inter‐island ferry workers revealed that 61% of officers felt frequently affected by fatigue, and 26% experienced fatigue‐related incidents within a period of 6 months (referring to Gander, 2005). Longer term fatigue not only impacts on ship operation performance but also can lead to long‐term illness among individual seafarers (Wadsworth et al ., 2008).…”

Intensifying international competition in the shipping industry in response to global pressures makes seafarers' jobs increasingly difficult. Challenging conditions in ship employment are problematic, particularly in a development context where home communities' dependence on seafarers' income is high and social protection is low. Qualitative fieldwork revealed that seafarers from Kiribati and Tuvalu endure exceptionally lengthy work periods at sea to remain competitive. Absence from home while working in constrained and mobile spaces with multinational crews, frequent security controls and speedy turnarounds impacting on sleep deprivation and decreased shore time have implications for physical and emotional health and can become safety matters. Hence, there is a growing need to address mechanisms to protect seafarers from the physical and emotional effects of global demands in the shipping industry.
