Das VBG-Schlafometer: Schlafförderung fur ( Schichtarbeits-)Beschäftigte

The VBG Sleep Meter: promoting sleep for (shift) workers The sleep meter of the Verwaltungs-Berufsgenossenschaft (VBG) is an online screening tool for daytime sleepiness and sleep disorders. It also provides recommendations for preventing and reducing the symptoms. It is primarily addressed to shift workers, but also to companies. It can be used for free and without any registration. The suggested daily routine is based on the working hours and the individual chronotype and is combined with practical recommendations for sleep promotion. The results of the questionnaires on daytime sleepiness and sleep disorders indicate increased prevalences in shift workers.
