Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research is concerned with the actual situation of night-time work for long distance bus drivers, and in order to examine the validity of a night-time nap to prevent overwork, a questionnaire and heart rate measurement were used. As a result, it is shown that there is a difference of the quality of sleep for some drivers. Also, the results show that the heart rate during the night-time nap in the bus cabin is lower than day-time sleep in accommodation. Sleep is necessary to prevent drowsiness and recover from fatigue, therefore, this research was performed to investigate a higher quality of sleep environment.
