In this volume, leading investigators analyze napping patterns and daytime sleepiness in humans and assess the value of napping as a solution to problems of daytime alertness. After reviewing what is currently known about polyphasic sleep in mammals, the contributors examine the development of human napping and present results of sleep latency studies showing that from adolescence onward, pronounced sleepiness occurs in the middle of the day. Other contributors discuss the chronobiological and ultradian aspects of napping and describe napping patterns observed in time-free environments. Extensive findings are presented on napping patterns in adults and on the effects of napping on performance during prolonged work periods and in shift workers. Full consideration is also given to cultural views on napping and the siesta. The book also includes a chapter on daytime sleep episodes, naps, and sleepiness in individuals with medical sleep disorders. (Product Description).

Clinical practice related to sleep problems and sleep disorders has been expanding rapidly in the last few years, but scientific research is not keeping pace. Sleep apnea, insomnia, and restless legs syndrome are three examples of very common disorders for which we have little biological information. This new book cuts across a variety of medical disciplines such as neurology, pulmonology, pediatrics, internal medicine, psychiatry, psychology, otolaryngology, and nursing, as well as other medical practices with an interest in the management of sleep pathology. This area of research is not limited to very young and old patientsâ€"sleep disorders reach across all ages and ethnicities. Sleep Disorders and Sleep Deprivation presents a structured analysis that explores the following: Improving awareness among the general public and health care professionals. Increasing investment in interdisciplinary somnology and sleep medicine research training and mentoring activities. Validating and developing new and existing technologies for diagnosis and treatment. This book will be of interest to those looking to learn more about the enormous public health burden of sleep disorders and sleep deprivation and the strikingly limited capacity of the health care enterprise to identify and treat the majority of individuals suffering from sleep problems.

It was already shown that napping before duty may be a good strategy to prevent performance decline during periods in which the circadian rhythm indicates the need to sleep. However, in a military setting, operational factors may prevent the onset and/or maintenance of restful sleep. In this case the use of hypnotics can be beneficial. Since immediate performance after premature waking can be required in a military setting it is important to choose hypnotics that do not result in so-called post-nap hangovers. In this study, the marmoset monkey model was validated as a model for testing the effects of drugs on performance during time shift work as is the case in many military operations. Subsequently, the effect of hypnotics in the late afternoon on performance during late evening, night and early morning missions was tested. It was proven that the homeostasis in marmoset monkeys after sleep deprivation is similar to the human homeostasis: The sleep intensity after a night of sleep deprivation, which will happen during late night or early morning duty, is increased in the first hours of sleep similar to human. Furthermore, a short nap by these animals before the sleep deprivation period can prevent most detrimental effects on performance and activity, as is the case in humans. Therefore, the marmoset monkey can be considered as a valid model for testing effects of drugs affecting the sleep and alertness behavior.

Sleep and alertness management is a major point of attention for commanders and the medical support of military round the clock operations. Awareness on the effects of fatigue and sleepiness should be enhanced both on command level and crew level. Flight surgeons and safety officers should be trained to develop and implement mission specific crew endurance plans. Practical guidelines on methods to prevent serious fatigue and to enhance performance and alertness of the crew play a key role in these crew endurance plans. Useful methods include the use of strategic naps, hypnotics, stimulants, and chronobiotic treatment. In the context of the development of guidelines to optimize performance and alertness during sustained and stressful missions, this literature review describes the available knowledge and identifies areas where knowledge is lacking. In this context military relevant research issues related to the use of strategic naps, hypnotics, stimulants, and chronobiotic treatment are put forward. Based on the results of this study, a work program is drawn up, aimed at developing guidelines to optimize performance and alertness during sustained intensive 0 operations.

Sleep and alertness management is a major point of attention for the medical support of military round the clock operations. Crew's awareness on the effects of fatigue and sleepiness should be enhanced. Flight surgeons should be trained on the use of practical methods to prevent serious fatigue and to enhance performance and alertness of the crew. Although, in civil and in military aviation a considerable number of studies have been conducted on fatigue countermeasures and preventive strategies, results are not readily available for practical use by flight surgeons. In order to develop useful guidelines for flight surgeons and crew, the international aeromedical research community should be able to produce a database on what is already known and identify, areas where knowledge is lacking. In this context research questions related to the use of strategic naps. hypnotics. stimulants, and chronobiotic treatment are put forward.
