When Steve was talking about sleep deprivation affecting critical thinking skills, I thought of the FTTA.

Now, I know the FTTA sleep deprivation is nowhere near on par with truly sinister deprivation tactics....no one is being forced to stay up for 50 hours or only operate on a couple hours sleep night after night.

But the schedule is bedtime at 10:30pm and wake up at 6:00am, which is 7.5 hours of sleep if you fall asleep immediately and sleep all night. If you don't fall asleep immediately, which I believe many trainees do not because their day is so packed they need the wind-down time, you are verging into 6-7 hours of sleep. Many people in general do need 8-9 hours, and trainees are probably no different.

Indeed, it's well known that many trainees graduate the training with some kind of anxiety and/or depression or other mental health issue, and some graduate sick and worn down. I wonder if the slight edge of sleep deprivation is to make them more amenable to taking in the errors in what they are hearing.
