| It is no less than 4 hours a day.....although there is nothing that says it has to be a continuous 4 hours. | | |


| So evidently none of us know for sure. TRADOC is another beast...a beast that should be put down might I add, lol. I found myself thinking about this as I dragged myself out of bed this morning and thought to myself "what does the Army have against sleep?". Sleep is one of the most precious human experiences but yet the Army doesn't think so, lol. I guess they were right, you sleep when you die. Anyway if anyone finds the Reg let me know, I've yet to find it or anyone that knows where to look. | | |


| From a previous topic I posted in FM 22-51 Appendix A-9: Shifts which allow each individual 6 to 8 hours of continuous sleep when feasible are preferred. Provide soldiers with a minimum of 4 hours of uninterrupted sleep in a 24 hour period (6-8 hours optimum). This greatly extends soldiers and crew endurance limits. It is also stated in FM 6-22.5 Chapter 4: Continuous operations are military operations with many pulses of action every day and night, continuing for several days to weeks, which require careful planning and resource allocation to give everyone a minimum of 4 hours sleep in 24. (FM 22-51) "If you do not stand by me at my worst, you WILL NOT stand by me at my best." | | Posts: 719 | Location: Fort Lee | Registered: 18 May 2007 |

| Awesome, thanks! | | |

| Was just wondering if there is a AR on the ammount of sleep required to drive a GOV. PSG is making us do PT at 0630 when we get off work at midnight. | | |


| TRADOC Regulation 350-6 (1) In garrison, IET Soldiers must have the opportunity for 7 hours of continuous sleep per night, unless the Soldier is scheduled for duty (for example, access control guard, or CQ runner). During field training, the length of the training day and time for sleep will vary based on tactical and other training requirements, as established in the appropriate POI. Commanders will ensure that the tactical framework of field training allows sufficient time for rest. (2) In garrison, Soldiers are given at least 1 hour of preparation time each day to take care of personal needs. | | |

| Composite Risk Management states that a Soldier should get 8 hours continuous sleep before driving. TRIPS will say the same thing... It's one of those "Mission First, Safety Always" things  Create your Profile at MyArmedForces.comThere is no task that is impossible, as long as you don't care who gets the credit. | | Posts: 941 | Location: Joint Base Lewis-McChord, WA | Registered: 09 February 2004 |
