Sleep and Performance Research Center
Abstract
The key deliverable in this award s statement of work to Develop a new program at Washington State University- the Spokane Sleep Research Initiative to focus on the effects of sleep and sleep loss on human performance. As the Spokane Sleep Research Initiative grew, it was renamed the Sleep Performance Research Center (SPRC). Three major findings were published during the interval covered by this addendum (05/01/2011-04/30/2012). First the theory of local sleep was further developed. Second, the performance development caused by sleep loss can be predicted by mathematical models taking sleep/wake history and phase and inputs. Third the need for a restart break depends upon the placement of the work period with respect to the circadian rhythm. Additional studies were published by SPRC care factually during the same period concerned with the neurobiology of sleep, the behavioral consequences of sleep loss, and the use of mathematical models in fatigue risk management. During the interval covered by this addendum (05/01/2011-04/30/2012), the Sleep Performance Research Center 11 core faculty members have produced 94 publications
