Why fading happens
Sleep pressure, circadian timing, passive tasks, long sessions, and an under-stimulating environment can combine. An alert may reveal the problem, but it does not remove the cause.
Practical steps
- Schedule demanding discussion earlier where possible.
- Stand or take a short movement break between calls.
- Use discreet serious alerts where appropriate.
- Treat repeated dozing as a reason to rest, not a productivity failure.
Where EyeJolt fits
Start a stationary session with your face visible, choose a suitable alert rotation, and use repeated alarms as a clear signal to stop and recover.
Limits
EyeJolt may miss fatigue and may false-alert. It is not a medical device, fitness-for-duty system, or replacement for sleep, supervision, staffing, or approved safety controls.
