Sleep deprivation, and the fatigue that accompanies it, is a fact of life in the military. An estimated two thirds of Service Members do not get enough sleep every night – twice the civilian average. Fatigue can be deadly; an Army study found that the combat effectiveness of Warfighters who get only four hours of sleep a night can drop by up to 85%. At the 2024 Military Health System Research Symposium in Kissimmee, Florida, researchers supported by the U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command’s Military Operational Medicine Research Program discussed innovative ways to help Warfighters improve their sleep management.
