SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Longitudinal Study of Sleep Patterns and their Impact on Performance, Behavior, and Health; OMB Control Number: 0704-SLEP.
Needs and Uses: The decisions and actions of active-duty service members (ADSMs) determine the success of military missions and the health and safety of their team members. ADSMs must be prepared to respond to complex, unexpected, uncertain, and, at times, dangerous events at a moment's notice. Sleep deprivation and fatigue negatively impact the state, health, decision-making, and performance of ADSMs, thereby jeopardizing their ability to meet operational demands and ensure safe operations.
The overarching aim of the project is to assess the unique challenges ADSMs experience in military occupational environments as they perform their regular duties. The data collected will provide more reliable insight into the chronic effect of occupational stressors on the sleep/wake patterns and health status of ADSMs. Findings will provide useful data to assist in assessing the status and impact of fatigue in military operations as the DoD seeks to positively influence the readiness, health, and performance of personnel.
Affected Public: Individuals or households (Marines and Sailors).
