This presentation will cover results of
several studies to test the usefulness of prophylactic napping
for sustaining performance during sleep deprivation; the efficacy
of dextroamphetamine as a fatigue countermeasure in military
aviators; and the efficacy of the new stimulant modafinil for
overcoming the effects of sleep loss in helicopter pilots. A
brief discussion of a new fatigue survey project will be included.
In this new study, over 200 aviators are being surveyed to determine
the extent of fatigue-related problems in the Army aviation environment.
Finally, a very brief overview of in-flight physiological monitoring
work will be shown. |
