1 Stop Snoring

A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, JAMA, has demonstrated the harmful physical and mental fitness conditions that are associated with peace officers.

Some of the results of the Sleep Disorders, Health, and Safety in Coppers study (which included nearly 5000 police officers) included the following: 40.4 % of those surveyed had 1 sleep problem, 28.5 had scores that indicated they experienced excessive languidness, a whopping 45.9 p.c reporting having nodded off or fallen asleep while driving (some as frequently as 1 to 2 times each week), and 33.6 % screened positive for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)

Those with a sleep disorders showed higher occurrences for depression, burnout/emotional exhaustion and falling asleep while driving. Sleeping disorder sufferers were more certain to make important errors; commit safety violations due to fatigue; show intense anger to an individual or suspect; suffer individual complaints; absenteeism or get drowsy and fall asleep during meetings and conferences. OSA was connected with a diagnosis of diabetes; cardio problems and high caffeine consumption.

“I don't think it's too imaginative to believe that a number of these adverse health, safety and performance outcomes exist in other industries and professions that involve boring hours, shift work and nerve wracking and even unpleasant circumstances” said Elizabeth Shannon of Sleepless No More.

“I’m pretty sure that some, or even all, of the following industries and professions would show increased numbers of sleep deprived people: the transport and trucking industry; air traffic controllers; nurses, doctors and emergency medical mechanics; ambulance and emergency rescue services; site security staff; all night electronic processing jobs; government special branches; cleaners and office security; the armed forces” she continued.

“That a few of these jobs and industries include traumatising events with lives depending on precision are elements in the stress, I'm supposing.”

“People working in these industries definitely require some practical answers to their sleep deprivation. And the solutions shouldn’t include sleeping pills, alcohol or coffee” Shannon says.
