Sleep is important for excellent performance as an EMT-especially because other people’s lives depend on a paramedic’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 - B - When one is able to sleep without disturbances or interruption, it is called “anchor” sleep. Disruption during the normal circadian rhythm can add to EMT job stress. Sleep in a cool, dark room without a phone or having recently eaten a heavy meal. Additionally, stick to your “anchor” time for sleeping when you are on or off duty. This will provide the best rest.
