【 摘 要 】

This study represents a collaborative effort between the Federal Aviation Administration's Civil Aerospace Medical Institute and the US Army Aeromedical Research Laboratory to investigate the effects of napping on the midnight shift as a potential countermeasure to sleepiness during the shift. The purpose of the present paper was to examine the patterns of performance degradation along with the subjective measures of mood, sleep quality, and sleepiness as a function of napping condition and time on task during the midnight shift.
