Abstract
Firefighters were found to experience poor sleep quality, sleepiness, maladaptive sleep hygiene, and moderate psychological adjustment. Maladaptive sleep hygiene was related to poor sleep and psychological adjustment. Specifically, active bedtime technology use by firefighters and their partners was related to sleepiness and poor sleep offering a practical avenue for intervention.
