  3. 1The rare LUCIE combination of SWS yellow + UWS red are included in this category; Step 1-GG (SWS green zone and EWS green zone) = no or negligible lasting stress symptoms. Step 2-YG (SWS yellow zone and EWS green zone) = possible slight lasting stress symptoms. Step 3-RG (SWS red zone and EWS green zone) = mild to moderate lasting stress symptoms, but less severe than Exhaustion Disorder (ED). Step 4-RR (SWS red zone and EWS red zone) = lasting stress symptoms of a severity indicating possible ED. LUCIE covers six dimensions: (a) sleep and recovery, (b) separation between work and spare time, (c) sense of community and support in the workplace, (d) managing work duties and personal capabilities, (e) private life and spare time activities, and (f) health complaints
