AB  - Fatigue  is  defined  as  a  biological  drive  for  recuperative  rest.  It  affects  a  large  majority  of  workers.  The  major  cause  of  fatigue  is  insufficient  or  disrupted  sleep.  Fatigue  occurs  as  a  function  of  the  length  of  time  awake,  the  time  of  day,  workload,  general  health,  and  lifestyle  outside  of  work.  It  is  a  function  of  the  homeostatic  drive  for  sleep  and  the  circadian  rhythm  of  sleep/wakefulness.  Fatigue  and  excessive  daytime  sleepiness  (EDS)  are  also  consequences  of  disorders  of  the  central  or  peripheral  nervous  systems  and/or  other  disease  states,  including  common  illnesses  such  as  infections,  asthma,  gastrointestinal  disorders,  and  metabolic  abnormalities.  Attention  to  fatigue  in  workers  is  important,  not  only  because  it  affects  work  and  safety  but  because  of  the  negative  impacts  of  fatigue  on  overall  health.
