Management of Sleep and Fatigue Using the SleepTank™ Smartwatch App
Maintaining vigilance in the military operational environment and in civilian 24/7 operations requires sleep planning and management. The Institutes for Behavior Resources have begun beta testing of their smartwatch app, SleepTankTM. SleepTankTM is a proprietary sleep debt algorithm that provides military service members with long-term sleep health information and actionable recommendations for additional sleep, optimizing sleep opportunities and increasing overall sleep duration.
