Research has found that 40% of police officers report symptoms consistent with at least one sleep disorder. Researchers have also found that officers who sleep less than six hours per night have increased chances of having health problems, chronic fatigue, contracting diabetes or heart disease, have a depressed mood, anxiety, obesity issues, and increased alcohol use (Fucigna, 2019). The National Sleep Foundation found that lack of sleep is associated with depression, and employees who work different shifts are affected more by depression than employees who work dayshifts (Copenhaver & Tewksbury, 2018). A study related to police officers and shift work found that when compared to officers working the afternoon shift, poor sleep quality was 70% higher among officers working the night shift and 49% higher among those working the afternoon shift. Another study assessing sleep disorders among police officers found 29% were evaluated as excessively sleepy, and 26.1% reported falling asleep while driving on duty one to two times per month (Fucigna, 2019).
