Abstract

Quick returns (QRs) resulted in an average sleep duration of 5.6 hours.

  • Sleep onset latency was slightly prolonged during QRs.
  • The main sleep period ended more abruptly after QRs.
  • Increased sleepiness was reported following QRs.
  • Higher levels of perceived stress on the subsequent shift were noted after QRs.
