One site will be the general medical service of the Philadelphia Veterans Affairs Medical Center. The other will be the oncology service of the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. The primary outcome will be the amount slept while on call. The first year will test the efficacy of a 5 hour mandatory nap schedule, the second year will test the efficacy of a 3 hour mandatory nap schedule.
