The objectives of this field study were to evaluate the performance capabilities and sleep patterns of USAF FB-111A aircrews using temazepam as a sleep aid during premission crew rest. Seven 2-man aircrews participated in two data collection periods. During each period, a crew flew a pair of extended duration nighttime missions, one each on consecutive nights. The mission on the first night was an actual FB-11A training mission. The mission the subsequent night was flown in a high-fidelity simulator. Crews were administered 30 mg temazepam for the daytime crew rest interval between one pair of actual and simulated missions and a placebo for the crew rest between the other pair of missions. Sleep during daytime crew rest was of longer duration and better quality with temazepam than with the placebo. Twelve hours after drug ingestion, aircrew performance of the simulator missions and selected laboratory tests was similar to that with the placebo.
