Physiological and Cognitive Performance in F-22 Pilots During Day and Night Flying

The article of record as published may be found at https://doi.org/10.3357/AMHP.5508.2021Many workers routinely transition between day and night shifts—including pilots, where night flights are commonly considered more stressful. The physiological toll from this transition is not fully understood, though fatigue is a factor in many aviation accidents. This research investigated the changes in physiological markers of stress and cognitive performance as F-22 pilots transitioned from day flying to night flying
