Abstract

This longitudinal study seeks to explore how operational stress and sleep deprivation affect military medical professionals’ physical and cognitive performance. We’ll analyze objective (actigraphy) and subjective (self-report) sleep and stress metrics during intensive military training simulations to understand the impact of these critical influences.
