March 3 (UPI) -- A new Defense Department report called sleep deprivation a serious detriment to readiness, adding that most service members lack adequate sleep, and backs up earlier moves made by the Pentagon to improve both quantity and quality of sleep for military personnel.
The "Study on Effects of Sleep Deprivation on Readiness of Members in the Armed Forces" was published last week, following a demand from Congress after sleep deprivation was determined to be a factor in two separate collisions in 2017 between U.S. Navy vessels and commercial ships.
