Fatigued?IntroductionFatigue results from either the acute or cumulative sleep loss, as the
individual does notmanage to meet the minimum sleep requirements, he’s accustomed to.
This exercise monitors thelevel of fatigue I experienced in the last 72 hours based on a
series of variables. The variablesanalyzed include the duration of sleep on each of the days,
the time worked, and whether I hadtime to sufficiently recover after a long working day.
The exercise also accounts for the level ofbaseline sleep of the individual, as it determines
whether the person has met the necessary hoursof sleep he needs to recover from the daily

follows:Baseline sleep (hours)7.50Typical commute time (hours)0.5Hours slept in the last

workday. During the workdays, I accumulate a considerable amount of sleep lossARE YOU

any of the days, as I justslept around 5-6 hours per day instead of the 7.5 hours I sleep on an
average day.Moreover, I was overworking for some minutes each of the days. According to
thesefigures, I suffered from both acute and cumulative sleep loss. The acute sleep loss
accounted forapproximately 2 hours per day, while the 72-hours cumulative sleep loss was
of 5.3 hours.While fatigued, I am unable to perf…
