TL;DR: Flight duty limitations should consider not only duty start time, but also the time of the final landing, as late‐finishing flights were associated with long times awake at a time when the circadian system stops promoting alertness, and an increased, previously underestimated fatigue risk.

TL;DR: The three major traffic noise sources differ in their impact on sleep, and it is thus important to choose the correct concept for noise legislation, i.e., physiological sleep metrics in addition to noise annoyance for nighttime noise protection.

TL;DR: Mashour et al. as mentioned in this paper studied the patterns of reemerging consciousness and cognitive function in 30 healthy adults who underwent general anesthesia for three hours, and found that the front of the brain was especially active during the recovery.

TL;DR: In this article, two promising areas of technology have emerged for managing fatigue risk in safety-sensitive occupations: (i) dynamic nonlinear modulation of performance capability by the interaction of sleep homeostatic drive and circadian regulation; (ii) large differences among people in neurobehavioral vulnerability to sleep loss; (iii) error in subjective estimates of fatigue on performance; and (iv) to inform people of the need for recovery sleep.

TL;DR: Congruence between LRM and PVT response speed and their similar effect size rankings support the use of response speed as the primary, most sensitive and most parsimonious standard PVT outcome metric for determining neurobehavioural deficits from sleep loss.
