摘要：	Fatigue is defined as a mental weariness resulting from exertion. Fatigue can be mental or physical and can manifest as either somnolence (decreased wakefulness) or as a general decrease in attention. Fatigue can cause problems for individuals who perform tasks that require constant concentration, such as air traffic control. Additionally, the nature of air traffic control requires shift work, which can exacerbate fatigue because it often requires individuals to work at times when they would normally be sleeping or sleep at times when they would normally be awake. Since the 1980s, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has been concerned about the effects of fatigue on individuals performing critical functions in all transportation industries, including air traffic control. The NTSB has made numerous fatigue-related safety recommendations addressing topics such as rest periods between shifts, scheduling practices, and fatigue awareness training for personnel working in the transportation industry.
