Journal ArticleDOI

The dynamics of neurobehavioural recovery following sleep loss

TL;DR: The mechanisms underlying the recovery process may be more complicated than previously thought, and that the impact of sleep loss and/or the restorative value of subsequent sleep may have been underestimated.
Journal ArticleDOI

The sensitivity of a palm-based psychomotor vigilance task to severe sleep loss.

TL;DR: The findings provide further evidence of the validity of the 5-min PDA—PVT as a substitute for the 10-min PVT-192, particularly in circumstances in which a shorter test is required and/or the PVt-192 is not as practical.
Journal ArticleDOI

Working Time Society consensus statements: Evidence-based effects of shift work and non-standard working hours on workers, family and community.

TL;DR: An overview of current evidence regarding the relationships between working time arrangements and various social and family variables is provided, and shift scheduling and intervention recommendations to improve work-life balance and social well-being are concluded.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effects of different roster schedules on sleep in miners

TL;DR: Despite an increase in TST on days off, this may be insufficient to recover from the severe sleep restriction occurring during work times, and restricted sleep and quick shift-change periods may lead to long-term sleep loss and associated fatigue.
Journal ArticleDOI

Performance on a simple response time task: Is sleep or work more important for miners?

TL;DR: Investigation of work- and sleep-related factors on an objective measure of response time in a field setting suggests that the end of night shift is associated with changes in response time indicative of performance impairments and provides further evidence that sleep is a primary mediator of performance, independent of roster pattern.
