The perils of shift work : how sleep deprivation affects officer wellness / Yvonne Taylor.

Abstract: Policing is a 24-hour business, hence shift work will always be required. However, it isn't natural for humans to be awake through the night; this is when people usually experience sleepiness, so staying awake and trying to operate safely around the clock can be challenging. Ways to manage the risks of sleep deprivation are discussed.
