Sleep Behavior in Royal Australian Navy Shift Workers by Shift and Exposure to the SleepTank App
Sleep data collected by Fitbit Versa 2s indicated shorter sleep duration (TIB24, TST24) for Royal Australian Navy workers during early and late shifts relative to stable day shifts. Access to the SleepTank app did not greatly influence measures of sleep duration but may be protective against fatigue by affecting SE. Further research is needed to evaluate the utility of the SleepTank app as a means of improving sleep hygiene in real-world, shift-working environments.
