Fatique, sleep and sleepiness among pilots and hems crewmembers in the Norwegian Air ambulance service

The aim of the project is to investigate the effect of long work days and long work periods on measures of sleep, sleepiness and wakefulness among employees in the air ambulance service. In addition, the University of Bergen has conducted a similar study in the Austrian air ambulance service, in order to compare different air ambulance services in Europe..
