“…However, this study was of small sample size, comprising only 41 participants. Most recently, research including 749 aircrew members, 74.1% of whom were pilots, discovered that 45.9% of aircrew members had at least one sleep problem, 24.6% of participants had already involuntarily fallen asleep on board while on duty, and 15.5% of aircrew members had excessive daytime sleepiness ( 8 ). However, this study was performed during the COVID-19 pandemic, with many airline pilots not flying at usual times, which might not reflect the impact of flight duty on sleep.…”

ObjectiveNight flights might aggravate sleep disorders among aging airline pilots, posing a threat to flight safety. In this study, we assess the prevalence of sleep disorders as well as the combined effects of night flight duration and aging on sleep disorders.MethodA cross-sectional study was conducted between July and December, 2021. Participants were recruited from a commercial airline. Sleep disorders were evaluated using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). The interaction effect of night flight duration and age on sleep disorders and their correlates were examined using logistic regression models.ResultsIn total, 1,208 male airline pilots were included in the study, with a median age of 34 (interquartile range [IQR]: 29–39) years. The overall prevalence of sleep disorders was 42.6%. The multivariate logistic regression identified an interaction between night flight duration and age on sleep disorders (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] of the interaction term was 5.85 95% CI: 2.23–15.34 for age ≥ 45 years; 1.96 95% CI:1.01–3.81 for the age group 30–44 years). Longer night flight duration (aOR: 4.55; 95%CI: 1.82–11.38) and body mass index (BMI) ≥28.0 kg/m2 (aOR: 0.16; 95% CI: 0.03–0.91) were significantly associated with sleep disorders in participants aged ≥45 years. Hyperuricemia (aOR: 1.54; 95% CI: 1.09–2.16) and regular exercise (aOR: 0.23; 95% CI: 0.08–0.70) were significantly associated with sleep disorders in the 30–44 years age group.ConclusionThe mean monthly night flight duration and aging had a synergistic effect on airline pilots’ sleep disorders, implying an aging and work-related mechanistic pathogenesis of sleep disorders in airline pilots that requires additional exploration and intervention.

“…Nos surveys, as escalas aplicadas foram: Fatigue Severity Scale 26,[51][52][53][54][55][56][57] , Jenkins Sleep Scale 52,53 e Visual Analog Fatigue Scale 54,55 , para avaliação de fadiga; Epworth Sleepiness Scale 52,54,57,58 , para avaliação da sonolência, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index [54][55][56] , Jenkins Sleep Scale [51][52][53] , Berlin Questionnaire 54,55,57 probabilidade foi de 19% e para as diurnas (07h00-23h00), de 15% (estas usadas como referência nas comparações). Jornadas finalizadas tarde da noite (23h00-01h59) apresentaram probabilidade maior de fadiga severa do que as iniciadas cedo pela manhã 38 .…”
