Sleep, sleepiness, fatigue, and performance of 12-hour-shift nurses examines objectively measured sleep patterns and neurobehavioral performance in 80 registered nurses working consecutive 12-hour shifts. The study found that nurses accrue significant sleep debt (mean 5.5 hours between shifts) with accompanying fatigue and sleepiness, with certain nurses showing greater vulnerability to sleep loss as measured by attention lapses.
