  1. Each superscript indicates the profile number from which differences are significant at p < .05. * p = .51. Pre-shift missings on demographic variables are: Age (n = 1), Avg. Sleep (n = 17), Avg. Work (n = 29), Nmbr. Consecutive shifts (n = 6), Hrs. awake (n = 6), Hrs. worked (n = 4). Post-shift missings on demographic variables are: Age (n = 1), Duration shift (n = 18), Nmbr. Consecutive shifts (n = 18), Hrs. sleep (n = 18), Hrs. awake (n = 18), Telephone (n = 18), OR (n = 18), ER (n = 18), Rest (n = 18)
