Sleep apnea, shift work a danger on the roads and rails
Apr 09 2014...
The engineer reported feeling “dazed and “almost like mesmorized” right before his train hit a sharp curve and careened off the tracks in December. Months later, an NTSB investigation suggests sleep disorders and poor quality sleep played a large role in the deadly New York commuter train accident that killed four people and injured more than 70.
In the aftermath of the derailment, the engineer visited a board certified sleep physician, who diagnosed him with severe sleep apnea. When the disorder is untreated, it can cause fatigue, slow reaction times, reduced alertness and impaired thinking.
At 5-foot-10 and 261 lbs (a severely obese), the conductor’s sleep disorder should have been detected long before he went to work that morning. If the disorder had been diagnosed and treated sooner, it’s possible that the deadly accident could have been prevented.
More than 100,000 accidents every year involve a drowsy or impaired driver. A vast majority of these accidents occur every day on our roadways and don’t receive as much attention as the New York train derailment. However, many are just as deadly and just as preventable.

Why sleep is difficult on the night shift
Nov 05 2012...
Although many people still work a traditional 9-to-5 workday, there are millions of Americans that work the evening shift, night shift, rotating shift, or other employer arranged irregular schedules, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Shift work can have an affect on your health and therefore it’s important for shift workers to make sleep a priority.
There are several reasons why night shifts wreak such havoc on sleep. Depending on their biological clock, some people may be more affected than others. A night owl might cope relatively well with night shift work, while most morning people cope relatively poorly.

Dec 12 2011...

Aug 05 2010...
Try going to sleep when the sun is rising, and staying asleep during the brightest hours of the day. It’s never easy. The odd sleep schedules that come with shift work go against everything we learned at an early age. Turning your sleep schedule topsy-turvy is a shock to the system that often leads to insomnia and chronic fatigue.

Sleep Usually Sacrificed in Early Work Schedules
Aug 05 2010...
Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise, so starting work at the crack of dawn shouldn’t be that difficult, right? In theory it’s not, but modern lifestyles make the old saying unrealistic. The early risers rarely go to sleep early enough, according to a recent survey.

Later shifts limit sleep, hurt productivity
Jun 15 2010...
The key to maximizing workplace productivity while minimizing fatigue may be scheduling shift start times that allows workers to sleep right before reporting for duty.
New research suggests shifts that start in the late morning to early afternoon work best for employees. Start times between 8 p.m. and 12 a.m. may limit sleep and harm performance.
