  • Title: International aircrew sleep and wakefulness after multiple time zone flights: a cooperative study.
    Author: Graeber RC, Lauber JK, Connell LJ, Gander PH.
    Journal: Aviat Space Environ Med; 1986 Dec; 57(12 Pt 2):B3-9. PubMed ID: 3800828.
    Abstract:
    An international research team has carried out an electroencephalographic study of sleep and wakefulness in flight crews operating long-haul routes across seven or eight time zones. Following baseline recordings, volunteer crews (n = 56) from four airlines spent their first outbound layover at a sleep laboratory. This paper provides an overview of the project's history, its research design, and the standardization of procedures. The overall results are remarkably consistent among the four participating laboratories and strongly support the feasibility of cooperative international sleep research in the operational arena.
