Abstract

Effects of continuous work and sleep loss on work behaviour are reported for subjects following three different work-rest schedules that required 8, 12 or 16 hours of work per day. The effects of 40 to 48 hours of continuous work and sleep loss are compared to the behavioral effects of infectious diseases and the time necessary for recovery or recuperation is indicated in tems of the return of performance to baseline levels. Interactions with the diurnal cycle are also discussed.
