In the United States and Canada found that 40 percent of police officers have symptoms of sleep disorders, including sleep apnea and insomnia. Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder include difficulty breathing repeatedly while sleeping.Officers with positive disorder are also more likely to fatigue, depression or anxiety disorders. And over the next two years, these officers do more administrative errors, security breaches and more vulnerable to sleep in the car.
"In general we have a cultural attitude that sleep is for the weak. When I was in an environment where the signs of weakness would be discouraging, there is social pressure not to overcome sleep disorders or ignore it," said Dr. Michael Grandner of the Center for Sleep and Circadian Neurobiology at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, as reported by Reuters on Wednesday (21/12/2011).
