TLDR
Simultaneous measurements of noise exposure and sleep electrophysiology were made in homes before and after cessation of nighttime aircraft landing noise, indicating a large reduction in the hourly noise level during nighttime hours, but no charge during the daytime hours.Abstract:
Simultaneous measurements of noise exposure and sleep electrophysiology were made in homes before and after cessation of nighttime aircraft landing noise. Six people were tested, all of whom had been exposed to intense aircraft noise for at least two years. Noise measurements indicated a large reduction in the hourly noise level during nighttime hours, but no charge during the daytime hours. Sleep measures indicated no dramatic changes in sleep patterns either immediately after a marked change in nocturnal noise exposure or approximately a month thereafter. No strong relationship was observed between noise level and sleep disturbances over the range from 60 to 90 db(A).read more

Long term sleep disturbance due to traffic noise
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of traffic noise on sleep disturbance were evaluated in the home of people living near a main road and the results highlight that both long term average and peak levels are important in assessing sleep disturbance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transportation noise, sleep, and possible after-effects
TL;DR: Laboratory and field research indicate that intermittent noise is more disturbing to sleep than continuous noise, and that habituation of arousal responses to noise events may occur without reducing the effects on task performance the next day.

The influence of continuous and intermittent traffic noise on sleep
TL;DR: It might be concluded that the WHO recommendation of L eq = 35 dB(A) is adequate, but should be supplemented with a maximum noise level, as expressed for example in L pmax or L I , that should not be exceeded.

TL;DR: Large, consistent and statistically significant differences in response patterns as a function of level of noise exposure were observed both before and after cessation of late-night flights.
