The Seattle Police Fatigue Training Experiment
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Officers who received a fatigue management training program had improved sleep, and decreased rates of depression, anxiety, PTSD symptomatology, and likelihood of falling asleep at the wheel. Participating in an eight-week training program, with a brief (10-15 minute) online training video each week and at home practice items was enough to produce positive changes to officer sleep, mental health, and waking alertness. This study is one of many that show the potential positive health effects of fatigue management and sleep education training programs.
