OBJECTIVES: The purpose of the current study was to evaluate differences in total sleep time and heart rate variability (HRV) in active-duty firefighters between on-shift and off-shift days.
METHODS: 59 structural firefighters (age: 37.3±7.3 years; height: 1.80±0.08 m; weight: 88.9±14.1 kg and body mass index (BMI): 27.5±4.1 kg/m2) participated in this longitudinal observation study. Each morning for 15 weeks, firefighters were asked to sync a smart ring with a smartphone application to download night-time data, which were then extracted to a cloud-based software application for later analysis. The software also computed a readiness score each morning. All day types were coded as on-shift or off-shift.
RESULTS: The average nightly sleep time for all firefighters was 6.95±1.24 hours. When off-shift, firefighters recorded more sleep compared with on-shift nights (off-shift: 6.97±0.50 hours vs on-shift: 6.68±0.52 hours; p<0.0001). HRV (p<0.0001) and readiness scores (p=0.02) were lower off-shift compared with on-shift. For the lagged correlation analysis, total sleep time was moderately positively correlated with the following day's readiness score.
CONCLUSIONS: Firefighters recorded more total sleep time when off-shift compared with on-shift; however, HRV and readiness scores were higher on-shift. The lag-time correlations indicate an association between sleep time and HRV or readiness scores, with approximately half of the variability in readiness being attributable to changes in total sleep time, which highlights the complexity of the readiness and HRV signals/systems.
