Sleep is important for excellent performance as an EMT and other people’s lives depend on EMT’s ability to perform. What is it called when you can sleep without interruption or disturbances?
  1. Slumber sleep
  2. Anchor sleep
  3. Steady sleep
  4. Undisturbed sleep
Explanation
Answer: D - Disruption during the normal circadian rhythm can add to EMT job stress. Sleep in a cool, dark room without a phone, television, or laptop, and do not eat a heavy meal right before bed. Stick to your “anchor” time for sleeping when you are on or off duty; this will provide the best rest. Anchor sleep refers to four-hour sleep periods taken at the same time each day, and it can help maintain normal circadian rhythms.
