Abstract
Sleep debt and time of day/night (circadian rhythm) exert substantial effects on commercial motor vehicle (CMV) operator (e.g. truck and bus/motor coach, railroad engineer, aviation pilot) performance—and, therefore, safety.

Efficacy of various countermeasures is reviewed, and the influence of individual operator traits (genetic factors) is...
