During peak seasons, fishermen often spend long hours on the water. And there's not always enough time for sleep. But going without rest can affect a fisherman's performance. In some cases, a lack of sleep can lead to injuries. When people are tired, they become careless, inattentive and less capable of making quick decisions, says Rick Steiner of the University of Alaska Marine Advisory Program. Lack of sleep can cause irritability, depression, disorientation and a loss of con- centration. Although most North Carolina fishermen don't stay away from the docks for days at a time, the odd hours can wreak havoc on sleeping patterns, says Bob Hines, a Sea Grant marine ad- visory agent. Researchers say the only sure-fire cure is sleep. Naps, particularly between 2 and 6 , can help. When that's not possible, they pre- scribe the following measures: • Rotate crew members so they don't perform the same task continually. • Exercising and listening to high- spirited music can increase arousal. • Brushing your teeth or taking a quick shower can help keep fishermen awake. • Crew members should help each other out by keeping a conversation going. Researchers who have studied sleep- ing patterns don't recommend the use of amphetamines or excessive amounts of Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly re
