Best start times for work tied to health and sleep
A study from Washington State University Spokane uses a mathematical model to show that shift start times significantly affect sleep duration and fatigue. Sleep ranges from 4.5 to 8 hours, with maximum sleep for shifts starting 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., and minimum sleep for 8 p.m. to midnight starts. Fatigue is lowest at 9 a.m. starts and highest at 11 p.m. starts. The research was presented at the Associated Professional Sleep Societies meeting.
