TLDR
A literature review of recent field studies of aircraft noise-induced sleep disturbance finds that reliable generalization of findings to population-level effects is complicated by individual differences among subjects, methodological and analytic differences among studies, and predictive relationships that account for only a small fraction of the variance in the relationship between noise exposure and sleep disturbance as mentioned in this paper.Abstract:
Aircraft noise-induced sleep disturbance (AN-ISD) is potentially among the more serious effects of aircraft noise on people. This literature review of recent field studies of AN-ISD finds that reliable generalization of findings to population-level effects is complicated by individual differences among subjects, methodological and analytic differences among studies, and predictive relationships that account for only a small fraction of the variance in the relationship between noise exposure and sleep disturbance. It is nonetheless apparent in the studied circumstances of residential exposure that sleep disturbance effects of nighttime aircraft noise intrusions are not dramatic on a per-event basis, and that linkages between outdoor aircraft noise exposure and sleep disturbance are tenuous. It is also apparent that AN-ISD occurs more often during later than earlier parts of the night; that indoor sound levels are more closely associated with sleep disturbance than outdoor measures; and that spontaneous awakenings, or awakenings attributable to nonaircraft indoor noises, occur more often than awakenings attributed to aircraft noise. Predictions of sleep disturbance due to aircraft noise should not be based on over-simplifications of the findings of the reviewed studies, and these reports should be treated with caution in developing regulatory policy for aircraft noise.read more

Long-term road traffic noise exposure is associated with an increase in morning tiredness.

TL;DR: A significant association was found between noise exposure and the risk of getting up tired and not rested in the morning in the general population and indicates that road traffic noise exposure during the night may have day-after effects.

TL;DR: An effect of aircraft noise on the use of antihypertensive medication, but this effect did not hold for all countries, and was more consistent across countries for the increased use of anxiolytic medication.

TL;DR: Whether noise-induced sleep fragmentation is associated with performance impairments in a psychomotor vigilance task (PVT) and a memory search task and the potential public health impact of nocturnal noise exposure is investigated.

TL;DR: Self-reported and objectively measured sleep outcomes consistently revealed no apparent pattern or statistically significant relationship to WTN levels, and sleep was significantly influenced by other factors, including sleep medication, other health conditions, caffeine consumption, and annoyance with blinking lights on wind turbines.

The Cumulative Cost of Additional Wakefulness: Dose-Response Effects on Neurobehavioral Functions and Sleep Physiology From Chronic Sleep Restriction and Total Sleep Deprivation
TL;DR: It appears that even relatively moderate sleep restriction can seriously impair waking neurobehavioral functions in healthy adults, and sleep debt is perhaps best understood as resulting in additional wakefulness that has a neurobiological "cost" which accumulates over time.

TL;DR: It is suggested that in the clinical setting, actigraphy is reliable for evaluating sleep patterns in patients with insomnia, for studying the effect of treatments designed to improve sleep, in the diagnosis of circadian rhythm disorders (including shift work), and in evaluating sleep in individuals who are less likely to tolerate PSG, such as infants and demented elderly.

Cumulative sleepiness, mood disturbance, and psychomotor vigilance performance decrements during a week of sleep restricted to 4-5 hours per night
David F. Dinges,Frances M. Pack,Katherine M Williams,Kelly A. Gillen,John W. Powell,Geoffrey E. Ott,Caitlin Aptowicz,Allan I. Pack +7 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that cumulative nocturnal sleep debt had a dynamic and escalating analog in cumulative daytime sleepiness and that asymptotic or steady-state sleepiness was not achieved in response to sleep restriction.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors reviewed the current knowledge about the role of actigraphy in the evaluation of sleep disorders and concluded that actigraphys can provide useful information and that it may be a cost-effective method for assessing specific sleep disorders.

Automatic sleep/wake identification from wrist activity
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed and validated automatic scoring methods to distinguish sleep from wakefulness based on wrist activity using wrist actigraphs during overnight polysomnography, which provided valuable information about sleep and wakefulness that could be useful in both clinical and research applications.
