TLDR
The results suggest that alterations of subjective evaluation of sleep were determined by physical parameters of the noise but modified by individual factors like noise sensitivity.Abstract:
In order to determine the influence of noise sensitivity on sleep, subjective sleep quality, annoyance, and performance after nocturnal exposure to traffic noise, 12 women and 12 men (age range, 19-28 years) were observed during four consecutive nights over a three weeks period. After a habituation night, the participants were exposed with weekly permuted changes to air, rail and road traffic noise. Of the four nights, one was a quiet night (32 dBA), while three were noisy nights with exposure to equivalent noise levels of 39, 44, and 50 dBA in a permuted order. The traffic noise caused alterations of most of the physiological parameters, subjective evaluation of sleep, annoyance, and performance. Correlations were found between noise sensitivity and subjective sleep quality in terms of worsened restoration, decreased calmness, difficulty to fall asleep, and body movements. The results suggest that alterations of subjective evaluation of sleep were determined by physical parameters of the noise but modified by individual factors like noise sensitivity.read more

TL;DR: Accumulating evidence supports the hypothesis that spontaneous BOLD fluctuations reflect processes that maintain the integrity of functional systems in the brain and suggests that neuronally mediated BOLD signal variance generally increases in light sleep.

TL;DR: The results lend some support to the hypothesis that long-term exposure to road traffic noise increases the risk for myocardial infarction.

TL;DR: In assessing sleep disturbances, the domain might benefit from additional longitudinal studies on deleterious effects of noise on mental health and general well-being, as well as methodological aspects in the study of noise and sleep.

TL;DR: The analysis showed no relationship between neither noise exposure nor response to noise and cardiovascular problems, and showed strong links among pseudoneurological complaints, annoyance and sleeping problems, thus pointing to the importance of including information on psychosomatic disorders and mild psychological problems in future studies looking at potential health effects of noise.

Exploring the relationship between noise sensitivity, annoyance and health-related quality of life in a sample of adults exposed to environmental noise.
TL;DR: Noise sensitivity was associated with health-related quality of life; annoyance and sleep disturbance mediated the effects of noise sensitivity on health.

TL;DR: The results suggest that it is important to recognize both the unity and diversity ofExecutive functions and that latent variable analysis is a useful approach to studying the organization and roles of executive functions.

TL;DR: The overall picture is one of a disparate range of impairment following sleep loss and sleep fragmentation, with executive impairment appears to be more closely related to hypoxaemic events than daytime sleepiness.

TL;DR: A review of the relationship between noise exposure and the subjective reactions to it was conducted by as mentioned in this paper, which indicated that remarkably similar results have been obtained across different nationalities with different measurement techniques.

TL;DR: Noise sensitivity levels did fall with recovery from depression but still remained high, suggesting an underlying high level of noise sensitivity, and was related to higher tonic skin conductance and heart rate and greater defence/startle responses during noise exposure in the laboratory.
