BMJ Careers Focus has an excellent article on how shift work affects health and performance - and what you can do about it. This article does recommend napping as a countermeasure against sleepiness, but also recognises the problem of sleep inertia.
The BMJ reports on the proposed changes to EWTD, noting that real changes are unlikely before January 2006.
A court case in the US will look at whether hospitals should be held responsible for car accidents caused by drowsy doctors, reports America's National Sleep Foundation.
