Abstract: Abstract Fatigue is caused by sleep deprivation. Sleep is a basic human need. When you are thirsty you drink; when you are hungry you eat. And when you are tired, only sleep will prevent fatigue and its almost inevitable and, sometimes, extremely serious consequences. For the aviation industry, the question how far fatigue poses a risk of accident for crews, patients, passengers, the public at large and, in the end, also companies needs to be addressed.
