Power-Napping - Switch Off to Power Up

Flight safety is important for the employing company, staff, and the public. A sleep deprived pilot can pose risk to themselves and anyone flying. Pilots can fall asleep while in the air or have slow reaction time causing problems to occur. Stories have become more common in the news about pilots falling asleep with autopilot on and missing their landing. The FAA and other flight regulation institutions are becoming more active in developing policies that will help prevent a pilot from flying while sleep deprived or suffering from severe sleep disorders.
