When?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although firefighters seem superhuman, they are indeed people just like everyone else.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No human being can go more than 264 hours max without sleep, and many more will succumb to exhaustion and\/or deliria from insomnia long before the 264-hour mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Firefighters must sleep, but when they do it varies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we\u2019ve talked about on the blog, firefighters will often work for periods of 24 hours at a time. Then they get at least two days off.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This schedule has largely replaced the 12-hour shift schedule where a firefighter works those shifts for up to four days at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, when we say a firefighter is working for 24 hours, they\u2019re not always out actively putting out fires. Rather, they spend as much of their shift as required being on-call at the station so they\u2019re ready when a civilian or business needs help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those calls can come very frequently or every few hours. That depends on the season as well as the city or town.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the firefighter is still on shift, they can\u2019t go home. However, if they have downtime, they can do what they wish at the fire station. Perhaps they\u2019ll clean the engines or the station itself. They can cook, shower, and take a breather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They can also sleep in designated sleeping quarters, and this is what many firefighters will do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most firefighters don\u2019t have what many would call a standard sleep schedule. They sleep when they can, whether that\u2019s the middle of the night, first thing in the morning, or at 3 o\u2019clock in the afternoon.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, it\u2019s impossible to say when an average firefighter will sleep, especially when they\u2019re on the clock.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When a firefighter isn\u2019t working, they can sleep at night in their own bed should they want to.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-many-hours-of-sleep-does-the-average-firefighter-get\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Many_Hours_of_Sleep_Does_the_Average_Firefighter_Get\"><\/span><strong>How Many Hours of Sleep Does the Average Firefighter Get?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>During their shift, a firefighter may have to stop what they\u2019re doing at any time to go out to the latest fire. That includes sleeping.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even when they\u2019re on their scheduled time off, a firefighter can always be called back to the fire station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/firefighternow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/vintage-sleeping-firefighter.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-503512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/firefighternow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/vintage-sleeping-firefighter.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/firefighternow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/vintage-sleeping-firefighter-225x300.jpeg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>How in the world does a firefighter get any amount of sleep, you ask?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Department of Labor has sleep time deductions in a firefighter\u2019s schedule. This deduction is eight hours per every 24 hours the firefighter is scheduled to work.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That means that if a firefighter worked 56 hours over the week, at least eight hours would be removed for sleeping. The time can be fewer than eight hours, but eight hours is the standard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This rule only comes into play if the firefighter has been on-duty for longer than 24 hours. minutes at a time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, firefighters should be able to sleep for at least six to eight hours when they\u2019re on the job. On their days off, they can sleep for 10 or 12 hours or longer if they wanted to. Again though, we must stress that a firefighter is always on call, so their sleep can be interrupted even on a day off.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-do-firefighters-stay-energized-on-the-job\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Do_Firefighters_Stay_Energized_on_the_Job\"><\/span><strong>How Do Firefighters Stay Energized on the Job?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With their long shifts, disruptive and unconventional sleeping schedules, and intensely hard work, how does a firefighter maintain their energy to carry out a 24-hour shift? Here are some methods they might utilize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Prioritizing Sleep When Not Working<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although a firefighter likely has a thousand different tasks they\u2019d like to complete around the house on their days off, they value the importance of sleep above all. They\u2019ll use their two days off to restore their bodies with sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When they come back to the fire station for their next 24-hour shift, they\u2019ll feel focused, refreshed, energized, and ready to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Eating a Nutritious Diet<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A firefighter knows that what they put into their body is the fuel that they use to do their jobs efficiently.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, they\u2019ll eat a balanced, nutritious diet full of vegetables, fruits, dairy, whole grains, and meats to ensure they get protein, healthy fats, fiber, and carbs. (That\u2019s right, carbs aren\u2019t all bad; they\u2019re just energy!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The long-term fuel a firefighter will derive from the vitamins, minerals, and nutrients in their diet keep them alert longer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Limiting Caffeine&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If a firefighter wanted to, they could live off of energy drinks to get through those 24-hour shifts. However, overdoing it on the caffeine can lead to some nasty side effects, including a pounding heart, anxiety, and jitters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"350\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/firefighternow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/coffee.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-503819\" srcset=\"https:\/\/firefighternow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/coffee.jpeg 350w, https:\/\/firefighternow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/coffee-300x214.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>A firefighter\u2019s job is strenuous and stressful enough. They don\u2019t need to walk into a burning building with the above symptoms. That will compound how well they can do their job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, consuming caffeine in huge quantities will lead to an inevitable crash. This is more than a caffeine crash, but usually, a sugar crash as well since many energy drinks are bogged down with sugar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Firefighters do consume caffeine, but usually in smaller quantities and from more healthful sources. For example, they may drink green tea, which won\u2019t cause a sugar crash.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Drinking Water<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Water might not contain caffeine, but it is our lifeblood considering we\u2019re made of more than 50 percent water. Firefighters will prioritize consuming at least eight glasses of water per day that are eight ounces each.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Staying hydrated prevents body aches and muscle pain and also allows a firefighter\u2019s body to recover faster from the rigors of the job.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Firefighters must sleep, but when they do depends on when they have the time and availability in their schedules. Between time off and mandated sleep time, a firefighter should be well-rested enough. However, duty always calls, and a firefighter must be ready to answer, even if they were sleeping!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It doesn\u2019t matter whether it\u2019s morning, noon, or night.
