Shiftwork and safety in aviation
Occup Med.
1990 Apr-Jun.
Abstract
For airline pilots, sleep deprivation and circadian desynchronization due to rapidly rotating shift schedules, rapid time zone changes, and unorganized sleep/wake cycles can result in severe performance decrements. Twelve case histories of accidents in which pilot scheduling might have been a factor are reviewed, and suggestions for the chronohygiene of pilot scheduling are made.
