Sleep deprivation impacts performance of shift workers in health care. Anesthesiologists are a population at risk that endures stressful situations and changing working hours. The decreased performance could be the cause for undesirable events. Power-napping is known to be an efficient technique to mitigate the detrimental effects of sleep deprivation and is a feasible measure to implement in critical care units. Still there are few insights that measure the clinical relevance in the field. With the high-fidelity simulations this study is able to measure clinical performance and test for those effects. Therefore we propose a prospective, monocentric study to evaluate a power-napping protocol (less than 30min)
