How Sleep and Tiredness Affect Team Performance in Submarines

Circadian Biology Weekly Brief ↗PubMed ↗

Updated

Abstract

Fatigue from sleep loss and circadian disruption may significantly impact submarine team performance.

  • Team performance in submarines is influenced by both physiological and cognitive fatigue.
  • Sleep and circadian rhythms of submariners are affected by unique factors related to the submarine environment.
  • There is substantial evidence that individual performance declines due to fatigue from sleep loss and circadian disruption.
  • Understanding the effects of fatigue on team dynamics is essential for improving operations in submarines.
  • Future research should explore the relationship between sleep protection and team performance in submarine settings.
