Purpose
Long and unorthodox working hours (e.g. 24 hours or 23pm-07am shifts for doctors and nurses respectively) combined with sleep deprivation, may affect cognitive functions such as response time and concentration. These parameters may be tested using a driving simulator. Apart from the obvious consequences of driving skills impairment for the medical personal, it may serve as a quality assessment tool in evaluating the impact of workload and sleep deprivation on medical staff's function. This study aims to assess the effect of work load and sleep deprivation on medical staff's driving skills.
