...Typical for studies on the effects of noise on sleep (Basner & Samel 2005; Griefahn et al. 2006, 2008), amounts of wake and S1 were increased while amounts of SWS and REM were decreased....

...Laboratory studies have documented immediate effects of traffic noise, such as EEG (Electroencephalographic) arousals, awakenings and sleep stage shifts (Basner et al., 2008) and consequently on overall sleep architecture (Basner and Samel, 2005; Griefahn et al., 2006)....

...Some of these effects are also observed in subjects after exposure to high levels of nighttime traffic noise, i.e. reduced subjective sleep quality, changed cortisol levels and reduced performance on reaction time tests (Griefahn et al., 2006; Maschke et al., 2002; Öhrström and Rylander, 1982)....

...The brain is able to perceive, to analyse and to respond adequately to acoustic stimuli even during sleep and individuals have been shown to react more to meaningful than to neutral stimuli [7,8]....

...Type of traffic noise The hypothesis adopted for this study bases firstly on the replicated observation that man responds more likely to meaningful than to neutral noises even during sleep [7,8] and secondly on a meta-analysis according to which aircraft noise annoys most and rail noise the least [2,3]....

...Subjective evaluation of sleep The questionnaire for subjective evaluation of sleep is certainly a reliable instrument, as the results are confirmed by the findings of other authors [13,14], in particular by the association between sleep quality and sleep latency, TST, the time spent in S0&1 and the difficulty to fall asleep (indicated by the prolonged latency of SWS)....

...This might firstly be related to the shorter rise times of rail noises, to which the organism usually reacts more than to slowly rising levels or to steady states [31], and secondly to the longer lasting periods of relatively high levels along with the characteristic temporal structure of rail noise....
