Occupational Safety & Sleep
Our team has conducted extensive field research into the effects of sleep disturbance, sleep loss and circadian misalignment in safety-sensitive occupations and where human error can have disastrous consequences, including health care professionals, astronauts, pilots, and commercial truck drivers. Dr. Dinges’ Psychomotor Vigilance Test (PVT) has become one of the most widely used tools for assessing behavioral alertness in operational settings, helping identify when workers are at risk for fatigue-related performance failures.
