The Railroaders' Guide to Healthy Sleep website is a new resource from DOT that aims to help reduce on-the-job fatigue that railroad workers might face. According to the agency, many railroad workers have challenging work schedules that might make it hard for them to obtain enough healthy sleep.
The website contains information on the importance of healthy sleep and how it helps improve a person's well-being, safety and workplace performance. The site features an anonymous screening test so users can tell if they might have a sleep disorder; a sleep and wake diary for tracking sleep habits and patterns; and strategies for improving the amount and quality of sleep. In addition, the site includes quizzes, illustrations, articles and videos to educate workers on how sleep affects their job performance and overall health.
