Sustained operations frequently require personnel to work around the clock, which combined with sleep deficit, and multiple days working unusual schedules, in stressful environments, culminates with high fatigue and poor performance. Both loss of sleep and circadian misalignment are well-documented factors involved in fatigue-related accidents and human error. To counteract the effects of fatigue and build behavioural resilience strategic countermeasures such as those used to improve physical and mental endurance, reduce fatigue, and better manage health in personnel working around the clock can be applied.
