There is good scientific consensus about personal management of fatigue. Current guidance includes identifying suitable timings for sleep, seeking up or avoiding bright light, usage of caffeine and a number of other aspects.
Did you know that CrewAlert Pro, the leading app for crew fatigue management, not only contains some of this guidance but also allows for automatically applying it to the roster context? The effectiveness of different sleep/wake and light exposure timings is gauged with BAM - thus producing an 'optimized' strategy tailored to the person's roster and the individual settings for diurnal type and habitual sleep length.
Please find the functionality described in more detail in this document - and perhaps consider using it next time when in doubt as to how to deal with a particularly challenging roster? CrewAlert Pro is available for iPhone and iPad only and found in the Apple Appstore in most major markets.
