TLDR
The findings support the assumption that strong daytime noise may interfere with subsequent sleep processes and that the autonomic parameters were not clearly affected by the noise exposure.Abstract:
The effects of daytime noise on recovery processes during subsequent undisturbed night sleep were studied in six healthy men (21–27 years), exposed to 80 dB (A) pink noise 8 h per day for 2 days. Sleep EEG, ECG, and respiration were recorded in the laboratory for five consecutive nights: two baseline nights, two nights following noise stimulation, and again one baseline night. Additionally questionnaire data were collected, reflecting a subjective impairment of the recovery function of sleep after noise exposure. EEG sleep data of the first post-noise night showed an increase in slow wave sleep with a simultaneous decrease in stage 2 sleep. During the second post-noise night these changes were less prominent. Three subjects additionally showed an instability in the sleep course coinciding with elevated heart and respiration rates. However, altogether the autonomic parameters were not clearly affected by the noise exposure. The findings support the assumption that strong daytime noise may interfere with subsequent sleep processes.read more

Daytime noise load—a 24-hour problem?
TL;DR: The influence of daytime noise load on spontaneous EEG activity and on the plasma levels of pituitary hormones, cortisol, and catecholamines during wakefulness and subsequent night sleep is examined and a tendency to higher prolactin levels and lower free adrenaline levels was found.

TL;DR: Findings indicate that onion extract containing concentrated cysteine sulfoxides alleviates stress, improves the quality of sleep and promotes smooth transition into sleep.

The Impact of Trait Anxiety on Slow-Wave Sleep Processes.
TL;DR: The sleep of high anxiety/worry and low anxiety-worry subjects was studied by means of nocturnal polysomnography as mentioned in this paper , which indicated that the pattern of disruption of sleep depth and continuity was very similar to that documented in clinical anxiety disorder patients, and was distinct from that typically shown in depressed patients.

TL;DR: The purpose here is to describe a few of these methods which have been used by experimentalists in biological and physical research and whether these results indicate a superiority of sample A over sample B?

Sleep deprivation: Effect on sleep stages and EEG power density in man
TL;DR: The present findings support the hypothesis that the EEG power density in the low frequency range is an indicator of a progressively declining process during sleep whose initial value is determined by the duration of prior waking.

Effects of exercise on sleep
TL;DR: The runners showed less rapid eye-movement activity during sleep than the nonrunners under both experimental conditions, indicating a strong and unexpected effect of physical fitness on this measure.
