Misconceptions• Sleep-deprived soldiers
believe they are less vulnerable to the effects of sleep loss because they believe they need less sleep or can tough it out
• Soldiers who fall asleep at inappropriate times do so out of negligence, laziness, or lack of willpower.
Truth• Sleep deprivation leads to
loss of self-awareness of one’s own impairment
• Soldiers who routinely get 5-6 hours of sleep perform similar to a person with a blood alcohol content of 0.08 and are highly prone to micro-sleep. Fatal errors can occur.

Supplements: Take Home Messages
• Note any dietary supplements you may take and write down the reasons you take each one
• Focus on obtaining nutrients through food first. Changing diet and exercise patterns IS harder than popping a supplement pill.
• Stick to standard recommended doses – say no to “megas” and “super” supplements and fortified foods. More is not always better.
• Consider adding extra vitamin D (men and women) extra Iron (Women) Other nutrients frequently insufficient: potassium, dietary fiber, calcium, and Omega 3 (DHA and EPA)
• Check out the OPSS website
