‘On‐call’ work is a form of irregular work scheduling that allows the provision of 24‐h services when full shift coverage is not required. Previous research investigating the sleep of workers when on‐call from home has predominantly employed subjective sleep measures. The aim of this study was to determine the extent to which sleep quantity and quality is affected in fire and emergency service workers who operate on‐call from home, using objective sleep measures.
