The Sleep FactsThe Sleep Facts
Adult sleep need is 8.2 per 24 hours, with little variability (homeostatic “set point”)
Impairment in performance occurs with as little as 2 hours less per night.
Sleep debt from restricting sleep to 5-6 hours a night accumulates with time, and awareness of sleepiness declines.
Circadian timing has a major impact on performance, and is not addressed in many service guidelines (i.e., truckers, aviation)
Consequences of Sleep Loss

(hypoxemia, C02, EEG)
The Scope of the Problem
Estimates by US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration 1-4% of highway crashes caused by sleepiness Principal cause in 100,000 police-reported crashes 4% of all fatal accidents caused by sleepiness
A drowsy driver operating a motor vehicle at 60 mph in the right-hand lane (12’ wide) of a divided highway with a breakdown lane (11’ wide) can drift off the road at ~4° angle in less than 4 seconds

Populations at High Risk Of Sleepiness/Fatigue Related Accidents
Relationship between sleepiness & Accidents
Approximately 27% of drivers who have lost consciousness behind the wheel fell asleep as opposed to fainting, seizure, heart attack, etc.
Importantly, this 27% accounted for 83% of the fatalities.

100-Car Study: Crashes and Near-crashes
100-Car Study
Drowsiness also appears to affect crashes and collisions at much higher rates than is reported using existing crash databases. Drowsiness was a contributing factor in 12 percent of all crashes and 10 percent of near-crashes, while most current database estimates place drowsiness-related crashes at approximately 2 to 4 percent of total crashes.
Summary
Sleep need is ~8 hours per 24
Sleepiness can be measured physiologically
Reduced sleep below 6 hrs/nt = Excessive sleepiness
Detection of sleepiness/fatigue and judgment is impaired with chronic sleep loss
Many segments of the population are at increased risk
The extent of sleep-related accidents is probably underestimated
