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).
