I sleep, therefore I can: Using sleep strategically to cope with night work

该项目的目的是确定轮班工人可以使用的睡眠策略，以尽量减少夜班期间的认知损伤。超过一百万的澳大利亚人经常在晚上工作。在夜班的下半部分，睡眠不足、长时间清醒和白天时间的结合导致的认知障碍水平类似于血液酒精浓度。该项目旨在调查是否可以操纵连续夜班之间的白天睡眠时间，以增加睡眠时间和/或减少工作前清醒的时间。然后，这些战略可以转化为政策和实践，以减少与夜间工作有关的经济和社会成本。

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.
