Nebraska researchers are investigating the quantity and quality of sleep among Midwestern farmers and ranchers during peak seasons.
Susan Harris is an extension educator with the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. “They all know they need sleep or many of them know they don’t get quantity and quality of sleep and yet their work comes first so how do we mix both of those together for the best outcomes possible.”
Harris says the one-of-a-kind project won’t allow producers to self-report data like other industry-related studies because it requires a person to wear a watch.
