Effects of Sleep Schedules on Commercial Motor Vehicle Driver Performance

Drivers with more opportunity to sleep (i.e., longer off-duty time) slept more. Short-haul
drivers were more likely to obtain their sleep in a single sleep period.

Both long- and short-haul drivers averaged approximately 7 ½ hours of sleep per night,
which is within normal limits for adults.

There was significant day-to-day variability in sleep duration in both the long-haul and
the short-haul groups.

Long-haul drivers obtained almost half of their daily sleep during work-shift hours,
mainly sleeper-berth time. This may suggest that they spend a significant portion of the
work shift in a state of partial sleep deprivation until the opportunity to obtain recovery
sleep presents itself.
