Popis: This study examined the impact of first and second night shift work on sleep and performance in mining haul truck drivers. Sleep-wake patterns were monitored using wrist actigraphy. The Karolinska Sleepiness Scale (KSS), Psychomotor Vigilance Test (PVT) and a truck simulator were administered at the start and end of the first (N1) or second (N2) night shift (19:00–07:00 h). Participants were categorised into those who demonstrated a decline in performance (increase of one or more PVT lapses [reaction time >500 msec] from the start to the end of shift) or those who did not demonstrate a decline in performance (no increase in lapses) from the start to the end of shift. Total sleep time (TST) was longer in the 24 h prior to N1 (9.05 ± 1.49 h) compared to N2 (5.38 ± 1.32 h). PVT lapses and the slowest 10% of reaction times were similar at the start and end of N1, while greater impairments on these outcomes were observed at the end of N2 compared to the end of N1 (p
