Abstract |
Work efficiency of 10 subjects aged 18 to 25 years was assessed with a battery of tasks before and during a 48-h period of continuous work and sleep deprivation and after a subsequent 24-h period of rest and recovery. Performance was found to be significantly influenced by the circadian rhythm. The first decrement occurred after 18h of continuous work and sleep loss, the lowest, of 33%, during the second night. 24h of rest were sufficient to permit performance efficiency to return to the baseline level. |
