TLDR
The review outlines the unique fatigue challenges in the emergency services sector, examines the current scientific and policy consensus around managing fatigue and sleep inertia, and finally discusses strategies that emergency services organisations can use to minimise the risks associated with fatigue andSleep inertia.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
To Nap or Not to Nap? A Systematic Review Evaluating Napping Behavior in Athletes and the Impact on Various Measures of Athletic Performance.
TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic review was conducted to determine how studies evaluated napping behavior in athletes (frequency, duration, timing and measurement); and explore how napping impacted physical performance, cognitive performance, perceptual measures (e.g., fatigue, muscle soreness, sleepiness and alertness), psychological state and night-time sleep in athletes.

Guiding principles for determining work shift duration and addressing the effects of work shift duration on performance, safety, and health: guidance from the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and the Sleep Research Society.
Indira Gurubhagavatula,Indira Gurubhagavatula,Laura K. Barger,Laura K. Barger,Christopher M. Barnes,Mathias Basner,Diane B. Boivin,Drew Dawson,Christopher L. Drake,Erin E. Flynn-Evans,Vincent Mysliwiec,P. Daniel Patterson,Kathryn J. Reid,Charles Samuels,Nita Lewis Shattuck,Uzma Kazmi,Gerard Carandang,Jonathan L. Heald,Hans P. A. Van Dongen +18 more
TL;DR: In this article, a series of guiding principles are proposed to assist stakeholders with designing a shift duration decision-making process that effectively balances the need to meet operational demands with the need of managing fatigue-related risks.

Rise and shine: The use of polychromatic short‐wavelength‐enriched light to mitigate sleep inertia at night following awakening from slow‐wave sleep
Cassie J. Hilditch,Lily R. Wong,Nicholas Bathurst,Nathan H. Feick,Sean Pradhan,Amanda Santamaria,Nita Lewis Shattuck,Erin E. Flynn-Evans +7 more
TL;DR: Exposure to polychromatic short‐wavelength‐enriched light immediately after waking from slow‐wave sleep at night may help improve vigilant attention, subjective alertness, and mood.

Trait Interindividual Differences in the Magnitude of Subjective Sleepiness from Sleep Inertia
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the Karolinska sleepiness scale to measure subjective sleepiness, for which the data were analyzed with nonlinear mixed-effects regression to quantify sleep inertia.

Working hours, sleep, and fatigue in the public safety sector: A scoping review of the research.
Penelope M. Allison,Hope M. Tiesman,Imelda S Wong,David Bernzweig,Lois A. James,Stephen M. James,Kathleen M. Navarro,P. Daniel Patterson +7 more
TL;DR: A gap in research limits the decisions that may be made by employers to address fatigue as a threat to public-safety worker health and safety, and more longitudinal and experimental studies are needed.

The Cumulative Cost of Additional Wakefulness: Dose-Response Effects on Neurobehavioral Functions and Sleep Physiology From Chronic Sleep Restriction and Total Sleep Deprivation
TL;DR: It appears that even relatively moderate sleep restriction can seriously impair waking neurobehavioral functions in healthy adults, and sleep debt is perhaps best understood as resulting in additional wakefulness that has a neurobiological "cost" which accumulates over time.
Journal ArticleDOI
On error management: lessons from aviation
TL;DR: Although operating theatres are not cockpits, medicine could learn from aviation and aviation has developed standardised methods of investigating, documenting, and disseminating errors and their lessons.

Regional cerebral blood flow throughout the sleep-wake cycle. An H2(15)O PET study
Allen R. Braun,Thomas J. Balkin,N J Wesenten,Richard E. Carson,M. Varga,Paul Baldwin,S. Selbie,Gregory Belenky,Peter Herscovitch +8 more
TL;DR: Stages of sleep may be characterized by activation of widespread areas of the brain, including the centrencephalic, paralimbic and unimodal sensory regions, with the specific exclusion of areas which normally participate in the highest order analysis and integration of neural information.
Journal ArticleDOI
The impact of sleep deprivation on decision making: a review
Yvonne Harrison,James Horne +1 more
TL;DR: SD presents particular difficulties for sleep-deprived decision makers who require these latter skills during emergency situations, as well as decision-making models developed outside SD, as does a neuropsychological explanation of sleep function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of acute bouts of exercise on cognition.
TL;DR: It was concluded that submaximal aerobic exercise performed for periods up to 60 min facilitate specific aspects of information processing; however, extended exercise that leads to dehydration compromises both information processing and memory functions.
