TL;DR: Nocturnal freight train noise exposure in Germany was associated with increased awakening probabilities exceeding those for aircraft noise and contrasting the findings of many annoyance surveys and annoyance ratings of the study.

TL;DR: This study provides the first systematic evidence that night work and sleep loss adversely affect the accuracy of detecting complex real world objects among high levels of background clutter.

TL;DR: The 3-minute PVT was able to predict performance on a simulated luggage-screening task and Fitness-for-duty feasibility should now be tested in professional screeners and operational environments.

TL;DR: This consensus paper was prepared by the Impacts of Science Group of the Committee for Aviation Environmental Protection of the International Civil Aviation Organization and summarizes the state of the science of noise effects research in the areas of noise measurement and prediction, community annoyance, children’s learning, sleep disturbance, and health.

TL;DR: PVT-B showed stable performance across repeated administrations, corroborates the status of the PVT as the de facto gold standard measure of the neurobehavioral effects of sleep loss and circadian misalignment.
