Back in November 2010, we wrote about pilot error due to fatigue and sleep deprivation. We also noted that the FAA and pilots’ unions were campaigning for schedule reform to mitigate this issue but were facing opposition from airline companies.

A recent Business Week article reported that catching a nap at work is getting the go ahead in the traditional 9-5 workplace. Great news but the article didn’t really talk about those with a “non traditional” or shift work schedules–currently 20% of the American workforce. What about them?
