<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">In reading about this problem, I have concluded that there is a disconnect between how the problem is being established as a medical disorder and what the problem actually amounts to.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I conclude that the problem is 99% vehicle-induced, including motor vehicles and locomotives.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">I believe that the conclusion that all safety-sensitive work needs to be protected from sleep disorder induced fatigue is an overreach.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And, while fatigue is real, I am not convinced that the nightshift or rotating shifts is the cause.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A more likely cause is simply the lack of sleep during the day when working at night.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are a lot of things a person needs to get done, and many of them can only be done during the day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This, plus the disturbance of daytime activity by others, serves to disrupt daytime sleep.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">Nevertheless, problems are opportunities for the problem solving industry.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And they have a self-interest in reaching to make a problem bigger than it actually is.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Problem solvers often make problems.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And there is a lot of money to be made solving the nightshift sleep disorder problem for railroad workers in safety sensitive areas.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></span></p>
