ABSTRACT
Chronic insufficient sleep is known to lead to a broad range of negative consequences (e.g. poor health and cognitive performance). While insufficient sleep and associated fatigue are present in many diverse populations, it is of special concern in high-risk military environments, where a mishap can result in catastrophic outcomes. Although many studies have been conducted to characterise sleep in general military populations, relatively few have been conducted using a large representative sample of sailors assigned to United States Naval warships. The present cross-sectional study characterises self-reported sleep parameters in sailors (N = 11,738) and explores the role of possible contributors to insufficient sleep. The results indicate that sailors, across a variety of different subgroups, do not obtain the amount of sleep that they report requiring for feeling well-rested. Of the many potential factors thwarting sleep, workload and an uncomfortable mattress are the most promising candidates to target for improvement.
