Measures Of Performance

The work efficiency of 10 subjects during a 48-hr period of continuous work and sleep loss was assessed using the synthetic-work technique. Performance during the period of stress was found to be significantly influenced by the circadian rhythm. Decrements first occurred after approximately 18 hr of continuous work, and performance decreased to an average of 82% of baseline during the early morning hours of the first night. Performance improved to about 90% of baseline during the daytime of the second day but decreased to approximately 67% during that night. All measures of performance recovered to baseline levels following a 24-hr period of rest and recovery.

Synthetic Work

The synthetic-work approach was employed in an investigation of the effects of continuous work and sleep loss on sustained performance. Two crews of five subjects each worked continuously for 36 hr., slept 4 hr., and then returned to work 8 hr. per day. During the continuous-work period, one crew began work at 0400 hr. and the other at 1600 hr. Performance decrements were found to be significantly larger (33% as compared to 11%) and recovery to be less complete for the crew whose continuous work began during the low portion of the subjects' circadian rhythm (i.e., the crew beginning at 0400 hr.). Comparisons of these data with other continuous-work investigations (in which the continuous-work periods began at other points of the subjects' circadian rhythm) indicate that the circadian rhythm constitutes a primary determiner of man's ability to work continuously for extended periods of time and to recover from the effects of continuous work and sleep loss.

ABSTRACT Although human performance varies greatly between and within individuals, it can generally be predicted from a number of physiological and psychophysiological factors that are common to all humankind, regardless of the operational environment. These include the effects that circadian influences, disrupted sleep, sleep loss, physical exertion, and other factors, including caffeine, alcohol, and over-the-counter medications, have on performance, cognition, and response time, and therefore on the safety of any planned or emergency response operation. Particularly when operational demands require sustained performance in a hazardous time- and cost-sensitive environment, such as during spill response operations, these physiological considerations must be factored into the planning and execution of response operations if maximal safety, effectiveness, and cost efficiency are to be preserved.
