  Dr. Mark R. Rosekind is the President and Chief Scientist of Alertness Solutions.He is internationally recognized for translating scientific knowledge on sleep, circadian factors, human fatigue, performance, and alertness into practical strategies that improve safety and productivity in our 24-hr society.For over 20 years, Dr. Rosekind's research, publications, presentations, and practical applications have led to many significant changes in real-world settings.These accomplishments have been recognized through honors and awards that include the NASA Exceptional Service Medal, a Flight Safety Foundation Presidential Citation for "Outstanding Achievement in Safety Leadership," and a NASA Group Achievement Award.In 1999, Dr. Rosekind was a Fellow at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland and the recipient of the Business Aviation Meritorious Award presented by the Flight Safety Foundation.
  
  While leading the Fatigue Countermeasures Program at the NASA Ames Research Center, Dr. Rosekind contributed to relevant applied research, accident investigation, aviation policy, and to many operational environments through education and other activities.For example, Dr. Rosekind led the team that showed the effectiveness of planned in-flight cockpit rest opportunities (the "NASA nap").At the request of the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), he developed a structured approach to examining fatigue factors in accident investigations, which was applied in the investigation of a DC-8 aircraft accident.Dr. Rosekind directed the efforts of an International Scientific Working Group that developed the first scientifically derived Principles and Guidelines for duty and rest scheduling in commercial aviation, which have been adapted by the Flight Safety Foundation for corporate aviation.Dr. Rosekind developed the most extensive and successful education and training program on fatigue countermeasures for aviation operations, which has been successfully transferred to organizations around the world.In collaboration with the NTSB, Dr. Rosekind was co-chair of the first multi-modal symposium, entitled "Managing Human Fatigue in Transportation."Dr. Rosekind has developed these types of activities in many diverse work settings.
  
  Prior to his NASA work, Dr. Rosekind directed the Center for Human Sleep Research at the Stanford University Sleep Disorders Center.His academic credentials include an undergraduate degree with honors from Stanford University, his Ph.D. from Yale University, and postdoctoral training at Brown University.
  
  Since founding Alertness Solutions, Dr. Rosekind has provided expertise to world-class organizations through a range of innovative activities.In addition, Dr. Rosekind has participated in activities with the Department of Transportation, provided testimony to the United States Senate and House of Representatives, and translated scientific knowledge for use in popular media.Using a collaborative and scientifically driven approach, Dr. Rosekind has facilitated the development and application of practical solutions and public policy to improve our society's safety, performance, and productivity.

  "People are actually acknowledging it's an issue and not doing any thing about it," said Mark R. Rosekind, a former board member of the National Sleep Foundation (NSF).
  ...
  This year's survey focuses much more on the workplace and issues of safety and productivity than previous surveys, said Rosekind, who was on the poll task force.

  Award-winning aviation fatigue researcher Dr. Mark Rosekind said at the recent Bombardier Aerospace Safety Standdown that NTSB "used to investigate [pilot fatigue issues] back to 72 hours before the crash," but that now they "go much farther back than that" and often find in the case of a fatal mishap that the pilot "had not had two consecutive nights of eight-hour sleep in the last 30 days."

  If your body requires eight hours of sleep and you only get six, you're not firing on all cylinders the next day, according to Dr. Mark Rosekind, the president and chief scientist of Alertness Solutions, and the sleep expert featured on Embassy Suites' new BusinessBalance.com Web site.
  ...
  A good night's sleep is undervalued, according to expert Mark Rosekind.
  ...
  Here are tips on preparing for a good night's sleep on the road from sleep expert Mark Rosekind, who is responsible for keeping astronauts and pilots awake and functioning:
  
  Develop good sleep habits by teaching your body when it's time to go to sleep.For instance, read a book right before you turn out the lights.But make sure you don't start a long, interesting book, he points out, or something that will keep you up turning pages long after you should be asleep (i.e. the latest issue of Franchise Times)."Create a routine at home with a set of routine activities that are cuing your body that it's time to sleep," he says.
  ...
  Then try again, with the clock turned away from you so you don't count down the hours, Rosekind says.
  
  If you find yourself not getting enough sleep at night, use one of the breaks during the day for a 40-minute power nap, he suggests.Nap and you'll experience a 54 percent improvement in your alertness and 34 percent improvement in your performance.
  
  And if you feel sluggish and cranky, sleep is the only solution."You eat food when you're hungry," Rosekind says.

  "Not getting enough sleep impairs our work performance, increases the risk for injuries and makes it more difficult to get along with others," says Mark Rosekind, PhD, an expert on fatigue and performance issues."Without sufficient sleep it is more difficult to concentrate, make careful decisions and follow instructions, we are more likely to make mistakes or errors, and are more prone to being impatient and lethargic.Our attention, memory and reaction time are all affected.But while we may recognize these symptoms, we do not always associate them as being symptoms of sleep loss," he adds.
  
  Dr. Rosekind also notes that while one night of significant sleep loss can affect alertness the next day, accumulated sleep loss over multiple nights is a problem that must be dealt with.Dr. Rosekind, president and chief scientist of Alertness Solutions in Cupertino, CA, is a member of the National Sleep Foundation's board of directors.He is former director of NASA's Fatigue Countermeasures Program.

  Mark Rosekind, president and chief scientist at Alertness Solutions, a scientific consulting firm, has worked with NASA pilots and astronauts on sleep issues.
  
  In 2006, he was commissioned by Air New Zealand to see if he could scientifically measure the benefit of a vacation.He asked a group of 15 people who were flying from the West Coast of the United States to New Zealand for vacations lasting a week to 12 days to wear a wrist device that monitored quantity and quality of sleep - for three days before the trip, during the vacation and three days afterward.
  
  Here's what he found: After a few days on vacation - and it usually took two to three - people were averaging an hour more of high-quality sleep.And there was an 80 percent improvement in their reaction times.
  
  "When they got home, they were still sleeping close to an hour more, and their reaction time was 30 to 40 percent higher than it had been before the trip," Rosekind said.
