Nurses often consider fatigue as a normal part of the job, and often do not associate between working excessive hours and impaired health. Working without adequate sleep between shifts can lead to negative chronic health effects, including cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, obesity, decreased immune function, and an increased risk of cancer. In respect to job performance and safety to patients, sleep deprivation has been documented as increasing the risk of medical errors (Institute of Medicine [IOM], 2006).
