<p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">A person that does not spend enough time in bed during their rest period will be tired while on duty during their following shift. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">A person that spends enough time in bed, but is disrupted to prevent adequate sleep during their rest period will likewise be tired on during their following shift. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">Therefore, the industry does have an interest in monitoring employees during their rest period to make sure they get enough sleep.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">But, as I understand it, sufficient sleep during the rest period will not preclude the contracting of SWSD. SWSD is caused by the disruption of circadian rhythms, and not by a lack of sleep.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">However, a lack of sleep can be one of the symptoms of SWSD, so I suppose monitoring employee rest performance would help lead to a diagnosis of SWSD. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">I guess employees will have to wear their SmartCap while sleeping in bed.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">A 100% monitoring of employees’ brain waves 24 hours a day would certainly diagnose any type of sleep disorder that could put them in danger while on the job. </span></p>
