Sleep Patterns of Young Men and Women Enrolled at the United States Military Academy: Results from Year 1 of a 4-Year Longitudinal Study

Abstract

The present study is part of a longitudinal research effort that will investigate sleep patterns of cadets at the United States Military Academy (USMA) at West Point, NY, over a +year period. The study provides an opportunity to observe sleep in a college age population. Additionally, the study serves as a test bed for examining sleep and performance in the Future Force/Future Soldier. These 2 groups, the USMA cadets and the Future Force/Future Soldiers, share many similarities: they are approximately the same age, they both work in an environment with a high cognitive demand. and both groups are self selected to serve in the military.
