“…The amount of sleep during the previous 24h was shown to be an independent predictor of threat and error management in a high-fidelity Boeing 747–400 simulator, as well as being a significant predictor of self-rated fatigue and mean response speed after international flight sectors ( Petrilli et al, 2006 ; Gander and Signal, 2008 ). Also, restricted sleep, defined as <5h, during the previous 24h was associated with confusion ( Drury et al, 2012 ). Sleep loss may be acute (not sleeping at all for an extended period of time, also known as sleep deprivation) or chronic “trimming” of sleep at night by 1 or 2h, also known as sleep restriction; ( Goel et al, 2013 ; International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), 2020 ).…”

Fatigue poses an important safety risk to civil and military aviation. In addition to decreasing performance in-flight (chronic) fatigue has negative long-term health effects. Possible causes of fatigue include sleep loss, extended time awake, circadian phase irregularities and work load. Despite regulations limiting flight time and enabling optimal rostering, fatigue cannot be prevented completely. Especially in military operations, where limits may be extended due to operational necessities, it is impossible to rely solely on regulations to prevent fatigue. Fatigue management, consisting of preventive strategies and operational countermeasures, such as pre-flight naps and pharmaceuticals that either promote adequate sleep (hypnotics or chronobiotics) or enhance performance (stimulants), may be required to mitigate fatigue in challenging (military) aviation operations. This review describes the pathophysiology, epidemiology and effects of fatigue and its impact on aviation, as well as several aspects of fatigue management and recommendations for future research in this field.

“…Although researchers in fields such as aviation have extensively studied and adopted practices that promote optional functioning through sleep and sleep hygiene, few have examined or described sleep hygiene or sleep environments in postpartum mothers (Drury, Ferguson, & Thomas, ; Lee & Gay, ). Studies after childbirth more often focus on problematic infant sleep (Hiscock et al, ), relationships between maternal/infant sleep, bed sharing and infant feeding (Quillin & Glenn, ), or infant safety in relation to cases of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) or sudden unexpected infant deaths (SUID) (Fu, Moon, & Hauck, ; Quillin & Glenn; Shapiro‐Mendoza, Kimball, Tomashek, Anderson, & Blanding, ).…”

Objective To describe the physical and social environment of sleep self-management in postpartum socioeconomically disadvantaged women. Design Descriptive, exploratory design. Setting Participants were recruited in the hospital after giving birth. Data were collected in participant homes after discharge. Participants Postpartum women on Medicaid with normal healthy infants. Methods Participants completed a survey about features within their physical and social sleep environment at 2 weeks postpartum. Participants then completed three days and nights of sleep diaries at both 4 and 8 weeks postpartum to document perceived awakenings, select sleep hygiene practices, bed sharing, and reasons for sleep disruption. Results The sleep environments of participants were dynamic from night to night. Bed sharing was common with nearly half of participants sharing with a partner, approximately 25 percent with the infant, and 20 percent with older children. Fifty-two percent of participants slept with the television on part (31%) or all (69%) of the night. Eight-five percent of participants drank caffeine and 24 percent smoked. Conclusions These results inform theory-driven postpartum sleep interventions. Modifications to the physical and social sleep environment that attend specifically to how sleep hygiene and environmental factors are manifested in the postpartum period have the potential to improve sleep for socioeconomically disadvantaged women. Future research is needed to articulate which changes can be effectively self-managed by mothers through nursing interventions.

“…[20][21][22] Furthermore, in many studies of aircraft pilots, it has been proved that fatigue has a negative effect on their error probability and error management. [23][24][25][26] Both are crucial determinants in aneurysm treatment as well, and these data can probably also be applied to neurosurgeons and interventionalists, though so far the possibility has never been studied explicitly for aneurysm treatment, to our knowledge.…”
