Abstract
The article reports on a study to determine the effects of caffeine on physical performance and vigilance during four days and three nights of sustained operations in Special Forces personnel. Results indicated that caffeine maintained both physical performance and vigilance levels during sustained operations that restricted opportunities for daytime sleep and required periods of overnight wakefulness.
