Rage is a fusion of different styles and inputs, and their sound is its own. Other bands might sometimes sound a bit like Rage, but I bet they never shut down the NYC Stock Exchange. They’ve played with the likes of Suicidal Tendencies, Wu-Tang Clan, and U2 (I dunno, that one’s weird to me too, but whatever).

Multiple genres can lay claim to parts of Rage’s sound, punk, metal, hip-hop, and more, but Rage is just Rage. It’s hard to pin down exactly what kind of band Rage is/was. The rock quartet out of Los Angeles consists of Zack de la Rocha, Tom Morello, Tim Commerford, and Brad Wilk, at vocals, guitar, bass (also backing vocals), and drums (I’m sorry, Brad I didn’t mean to put the drummer last). One of the beautiful gifts of the 90s is Rage Against the Machine (hereafter referred to as just Rage).

Her work has focused on a range of health concerns, including the health of female firefighters, behavioral health, risk of injury, cancer, cardiovascular risk factors, and substance use, with funding from the Assistance to Firefighters Grant R&D Program, the National Institutes of Health and other foundations. Jahnke has more than 100 publications in the peer-reviewed medical literature. Awards include the 2019 Endowed Lecture at the annual conference of the American College of Epidemiology the 2018 President’s Award for Excellence in Fire Service Research as well as the Excellence in Research, Safety, Health & Survival Award, both from the International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) and the 2016 John Granito Award for Excellence in Firefighter Research from the International Journal of Fire Service Leadership and Management. Jahnke has been the principal investigator on 10 national studies as well as dozens of studies as a co-investigator. With over a decade of research experience on firefighter health, Dr. Sara Jahnke, PhD, is the director and a senior scientist with the Center for Fire, Rescue & EMS Health Research at the National Development & Research Institutes - USA. Listen to his message, and figure out what you can do to prioritize your own sleep. Whatever way you prefer to get your information, DO THAT. Not into reading? Don’t worry, he also has TEDTalks and MasterClasses on sleep. (You’ll have to read the book to find out.) Wondering if safety naps should be a thing or if they are just an excuse for people to slack off at work? Walker has an answer for that too. However, your chances of truly having that gene are about the same as your chances of being hit by lightning. There are people who are the “sleepless elite” who truly won’t or can’t sleep longer than that, and it has been tied to a specific gene.

For instance, think you are just someone who operates at optimum capacity with less than four hours sleep a night? It could be. He challenges a lot of assumptions and long-held beliefs with evidence. The findings he reports are amazing and humbling all at the same time. He walks you through the science of sleep, why it is so important, what happens when you sleep, and what happens when you don’t. These are all health challenges firefighters struggle with, making it even more important for fire service personnel to prioritize getting enough sleep.įor a scientist, Walker’s actually pretty funny – or as funny as a scientist can be. Sleeping less than seven hours per night increases risks for nearly every disease – cancer, cardiovascular disease, mental health issues, fertility issues, obesity, hypertension, diabetes and suicidal ideation. Walker’s book lays out all the health impacts of not getting enough sleep. I have said it and I’ve heard it time and time again in firehouses across the country: “I’ll sleep when I’m dead.” Well, fun fact, research shows that not getting enough sleep will actually lead to shorter lifespan than if you are well-slept! So, while you will sleep when you’re dead, and that eternal sleep will come sooner if you are not getting seven or more hours of sleep a night. The fire service needs to start prioritizing sleep, not just as one of the pillars of health, wellness and safety, but as the foundation upon which everything else is built.
