Auditory attention and multiattribute decision-making during a 33 h sleep-deprivation period: Mean performance and between-subject dispersions

Article Abstract:

A study compared attention in the evening, the late night, morning and afternoon, during a period of wakefulness, with mean daytime performance without sleep deprivation. Sleep deprivation effects on multi-attribute decision-making were also studied. There were significant declines in performance of the auditory attention task in the late night, morning and afternoon. However the pattern of decision strategies amongst sleep deprived subjects was similar to a pattern of decision strategies for non-stressful conditions.

Effect of sleep loss on core temperature when movement is controlled

Article Abstract:

Loss of sleep can result in psychological and physiological changes, including a decline in core temperature, mental performance and self-selected work load. The effects of partial sleep loss and recovery on body core temperature when maintaining physical activity have been investigated. It is concluded that the effects of sleep loss could be lessened by maintaining core temperature, through physical activity, raising secretion of adrenaline or exposure to bright and stimulating environments.

Vigilance on the civil flight deck: incidence of sleepiness and sleep during long-haul flights and associated changes in physiological parameters

Article Abstract:

Research investigating the incidence of sleep and sleepiness in airline workers during long-haul flights are presented. Reference is made to the need for a practical design of an alerting system to prevent aircrew from involuntary sleep.
