Naturalistic Field Studies of Sleep and Performance

Abstract

The key deliverable in this award's statement of work is 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 and Performance Research Center (SPRC). Major findings published during the interval covered by this addendum (11/16/2006-04/30/2009) were: (1) Long work hours affect human health and performance by encroaching on sleep opportunity and creating acute and chronic sleep loss; (2) Mathematical models combined with quantitative cognitive architecture are useful for understanding and predicting the effects of sleep loss on human performance. During the interval covered by this addendum (11/16/2006-04/30-2009), the Sleep and Performance Research Center 11 core faculty members have produced 48 publications.
