WHO Environmental Noise Guidelines for the European Region: A Systematic Review on Environmental Noise and Effects on Sleep.

TL;DR: Based on the available evidence, transportation noise affects objectively measured sleep physiology and subjectively assessed sleep disturbance in adults and for children’s sleep.

Sleep disparity, race/ethnicity, and socioeconomic position

TL;DR: The concept of race/ethnicity in biomedical research is contextualized and the potential role of socioeconomic position in the patterning of sleep is introduced, and future research directions to address this issue are proposed.

Annoyance evaluation due to overall railway noise and vibration in Pisa urban areas.

TL;DR: The results show the limitations of traditional noise mapping for railway epidemiological studies based exclusively on ordinary transits and confirm the role of vibrations as enhancing factor for disturbance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intermittency ratio: A metric reflecting short-term temporal variations of transportation noise exposure.

TL;DR: A calculation method is presented that produces a metric which reflects the intermittency of road, rail and aircraft noise exposure situations and expresses the proportion of the acoustical energy contribution in the total energetic dose that is created by individual noise events above a certain threshold.

Meta-Analysis of Quantitative Sleep Parameters From Childhood to Old Age in Healthy Individuals: Developing Normative Sleep Values Across the Human Lifespan

TL;DR: In adults, it appeared that sleep latency, percentages of stage 1 and stage 2 significantly increased with age while percentage of REM sleep decreased, and effect sizes for the different sleep parameters were greatly modified by the quality of subject screening, diminishing or even masking age associations with differentSleep parameters.
