The purpose of this response essay is to commend the authors of the article, “Evaluating the effectiveness of a fatigue training intervention for the Seattle Police Department” for calling attention to the issue of fatigue and addressing its negative impact on health and safety. We highlight the demanding role of police officers and how fatigue can have significant consequences. We also discuss how the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) is committed to calling attention to the importance of sufficient sleep, and review how effectively the online training course tackled the issue. The positive results from the online training program align well with the AASM’s priority of addressing and improving sleep health. The AASM finds the published trial to be groundbreaking work and agree that its cost-effective, low-burden strategy for combating fatigue can be a potential model for significantly improving sleep, mental health, and safe driving in police officers.

这篇回应文章的目的是赞扬文章“评估西雅图警察局疲劳训练干预的有效性”的作者，呼吁人们关注疲劳问题并解决其对健康和安全的负面影响。我们强调警察的艰巨角色以及疲劳如何产生严重后果。我们还讨论了美国睡眠医学会 (AASM) 如何致力于呼吁人们关注充足睡眠的重要性，并回顾在线培训课程如何有效地解决这一问题。在线培训计划的积极成果与 AASM 解决和改善睡眠健康的优先事项非常吻合。 AASM 认为已发表的试验是开创性的工作，并同意其具有成本效益、低负担的对抗疲劳策略可以成为显着改善警察睡眠、心理健康和安全驾驶的潜在模型。
