- What can be done to prevent sleep deprivation?.
- The simple answer of course is to get enough sleep. But what with your job and overtime and possible part-time work (and in Massachusetts the infamous "detail system" which pays officers around $26 an hour to direct traffic and by which they can double their income and die early of stress), it is virtually impossible for some officers to get enough sleep in one block of time. As you get older it is harder and harder to get by on less than the sleep your body needs (usually six to nine hours in a twenty-four hour period). ...
- An hour long nap is excellent as long as you don't wake too abruptly during the wrong level of sleep. ...

- Sleep Disorders.
- Sleep is essential for the normal, healthy functioning of the human body. ...
- According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, about 40 million Americans suffer each year from some sort of chronic, long-term sleep disorder, and another 20 million people suffer occasional sleeping problems. ...
- There are more than 70 different sleep disorders that are generally classified into one of three categories: .
- lack of sleep, or insomnia;.
- disturbed sleep, such as obstructive sleep apnea; and.
- too much sleep, as with narcolepsy .
- Most sleep disorders can be easily managed once they are properly diagnosed. Insomnia is the most common sleep disorder. ...
- The amount of sleep that a person needs to function normally depends on several factors such as age. Infants sleep most of the day - about 16 hours; teenagers need about 9 hours a day, while adults need about 7 to 8 hours a day on average. Even though elderly adults need just as much sleep as young adults, as people age, they usually sleep for shorter amounts of time and they tend to spend less of their sleep time in the deep sleep stages. About half of all adults over the age of 65 have some sort of sleep disorder, though it is not clear if this is a normal part of aging or a result of medications that older people commonly use. ...
- Thus foods and medicines that affect the balance of these various chemicals also affect how easily we can fall asleep and how well we sleep. Caffeine, for example, can cause insomnia (the lack of sleep). Antidepressants can cause a loss of (rapid eye movement) REM sleep, the dream phase of sleep, as can smoking and alcohol. Smoking and alcohol can also cause a loss of deep sleep. Both REM and deep sleep are essential parts of the normal sleep cycle. ...

166. Accidents Waiting To Happen. Sleep-deprived and overworked long-haul truck drivers.
- www.scienceinafrica.co.za
- Latest research shows that overworked and tired truck drivers, especially those who are overweight, have an increased risk of having a sleep-related road accident.
- The research findings from the Brain Function Research Unit at the University of the Witwatersrand and a Canadian sleep disorders laboratory was compiled from questionnaire-based interviews with 102 long-haul truck drivers across South Africa. The problem appears global - evidence suggests that many long-haul drivers do not get sufficient sleep to maintain alertness. About 13% of Australian truck drivers obtain less than four hours of sleep per day, with one third working in excess of 72 hours per week. ... It is widely accepted that both fatigue and sleep deprivation are major contributors to truck accidents. ...
- According to the survey, three quarters of truck drivers reported being tired on the job due to long working hours, working approximately 93 hours a week, with half of them getting less than 5 hours of sleep per day. ...
- For those drivers who do manage to get some sleep in their truck, Maldonado and her team reported that their sleep was interrupted mostly by noise as well as light, outside activity and extremes of heat or cold. Almost eight out of 10 of the drivers surveyed complained of interrupted sleep; in this case poor sleep is associated with up to 62% of incidents where drivers nodded off at the wheel, increasing the risk of causing a road accident.
- The research team showed that the problem is compounded by sleep disorders such as apnoea and snoring, which show an unusually high prevalence in long-haul truck drivers. ... Drivers who admit to snoring or experience signs indicative of sleep apnoea, or other sleep complaints, show a two-fold increase in sleep-related road accidents compared with drivers without sleep disorders. Sleep apnoea is characterised by loud snoring and respiratory pauses. Sleep apnoeics tend to stop breathing while asleep, wake up gasping for breath and then start snoring again once they return to sleep. ... In cases of severe sleep apnoea, this can occur up to 600 times per night, meaning that they also are waking up that many times in a night.
- Drivers who snore or show signs indicative of sleep apnoea are also more likely to be overweight. ... There also appears to be a correlation between severe sleep apnoea and heart failure and the likelihood of getting strokes or hypertension.
- The human body follows an internally generated sleep-wake cycle governed predominantly by the production of a hormone known as melatonin. Melatonin production during darkness stimulates sleep, while low levels of melatonin, usually in periods of light exposure, signals wakefulness. Almost all the drivers interviewed stated that they started driving between 1 am and 8 am, a period when melatonin levels are high and the stimulus for sleep is also high.
