Sleep deprivation is linked to poor mental and physical health outcomes for professional firefighters. The importance of sleep hygiene practices and health promotional activities may increase the amount of quality sleep firefighters get on their days off. As the adverse outcomes of circadian misalignment due to sleep deprivation becomes more apparent in firefighter wellbeing, the need for a sleep health program becomes more evident. The purpose of this paper is to examine and assess the effects of a sleep health program for firefighter wellness. Research emphasizing the relevance of poor health outcomes related to sleep disturbances is prevalent in the literature. The findings have prompted the development of an evidence-based sleep coaching program for firefighters in a local fire department guided by The Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Model (Brewin, C.R., 1996). and a knowledge-to-Action process framework for evidence-based-practice (Graham et al., 2006).
