In the emergency management service (EMS), disordered sleep and work schedules have become a daily routine. With an increase in 911 emergency and non-emergency convalescent calls, there is plenty of work to stay busy. Most baby boomers have growing health concerns, with 1 of the largest populated generations entering retirement. A culture shift indicates emergency services are used more often than in previous years. This growing surge in call volume has placed additional strains on EMS providers who answer the call daily. This additional responsibility has contributed to disordered sleep and work schedules. EMS providers continually sacrifice personal safety and health to serve the community and patients. EMS providers are passionate about their trade, and their sacrifices often go unnoticed.[1][2][3][4]
