Funded Activity Summary

I sleep, therefore I can: Using sleep strategically to cope with night work. The aim of the project is to identify sleep strategies that shiftworkers can use to minimise cognitive impairment during night shifts. More than one million Australians regularly work at night. In the second half of night shifts, the combination of sleep loss, extended wake, and time of day causes a level of cognitive impairment similar to that associated with a blood alcohol concentration of .05 per cent. The project aims to investigate whether the timing of daytime sleep episodes between consecutive night shifts can be manipulated to increase the duration of sleep and/or reduce the length of wake prior to work. The strategies could then be translated into policy and practice to reduce the economic and social costs associated with night work.
