Abstract

Nowadays, night work is a necessity for employees. So the aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between sleepiness and demographic characteristics among driver night workers.This study carried out in a simulated bus driver. 90 drivers were chosen as the study population. A two part questionnaire was used for data collection which included demographic information and Stanford sleepiness scale. Data were analyzed using SPSS software version 22.There was a significant correlation between sleepiness and BMI (p <0.05, r=0.24). Also, there was a significant difference in sleepiness by education level and job. Demographic variables should be considered in any attempt to management of sleepiness among night workers. ©2015 AENSI Publisher All rights reserved.
