No rest for the women: Understanding the impact of on-call work for women in the emergency services.

The negative impacts of on-call work on women's sleep supports existing quantitative and qualitative data in the broader on-call area. For those women with children, managing their care presents one of the biggest challenges to being able to manage the on-call component of their work. Future research should to focus on quantifying the impact of on-call for both men and women, particularly the "relentlessness" of the work identified in this study and whether this toll changes based on other factors such as experience, role or gender.
