TLDR
It is suggested that to protect people from sleep disturbance effects from road traffic noise, it is necessary to consider the number of vehicles of a certain maximum noise level.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Nocturnal road traffic noise: A review on its assessment and consequences on sleep and health.
TL;DR: In assessing sleep disturbances, the domain might benefit from additional longitudinal studies on deleterious effects of noise on mental health and general well-being, as well as methodological aspects in the study of noise and sleep.
Journal Article
Road traffic noise and sleep disturbances in an urban population: cross–sectional study
TL;DR: Noise annoyance, subjective noise sensitivity, and neuroticism were significantly correlated with difficulties with falling asleep, time needed to fall asleep, poorer sleep quality, tiredness after sleep, and use of sleeping pills.
Journal ArticleDOI
Associations between noise sensitivity and sleep, subjectively evaluated sleep quality, annoyance, and performance after exposure to nocturnal traffic noise
A Marks,B Griefahn +1 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that alterations of subjective evaluation of sleep were determined by physical parameters of the noise but modified by individual factors like noise sensitivity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sleep disturbances from road traffic and ventilation noise—laboratory and field experiments
Evy Öhrström,Annbritt Skånberg +1 more
TL;DR: Novel effects on sleep of different types of noise exposures (road traffic, ventilation and combination of noise from road traffic and ventilation) and compare effects both in laboratory and in field settings are compared.

Examining nocturnal railway noise and aircraft noise in the field: Sleep, psychomotor performance, and annoyance☆☆☆
Eva-Maria Elmenhorst,S. Pennig,Vinzent Rolny,J. Quehl,Uwe Mueller,Hartmut Maaß,Mathias Basner +6 more
TL;DR: Nocturnal freight train noise exposure in Germany was associated with increased awakening probabilities exceeding those for aircraft noise and contrasting the findings of many annoyance surveys and annoyance ratings of the study.

Journal ArticleDOI
The measurement of mood.
TL;DR: A theory is suggested where mood is seen as basically two-dimensional: one dimension being activity and the other pleasantness, and specific definitions of the content of experience with reference to the situation may then be used to define further dimensions, such as social orientation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Noise nuisance caused by road traffic in residential areas: Part III
TL;DR: In this paper, a survey dealing with the effects of road traffic noise, 2933 persons resident at 53 sites in Greater London were interviewed, noise levels at the dwelling facades were measured and the volume and composition of the traffic at each site were counted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bandura's theory of self-efficacy: A set of common sense theorems.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that valid theories in psychology are explications of conceptual relationship imbedded in ordinary language (common sense), and that much psychological research is pointless since it attempts to verify logically necessary statements by empirical methods.
Journal ArticleDOI
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
Sleep disturbance effects of traffic noise--a laboratory study on after effects
Evy Öhrström,Ragnar Rylander +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, body movements during sleep and subjective sleep quality, as well as mood and performance were investigated after exposure to intermittent and continuous traffic noise during the night, and the results suggest that increased attention should be paid to peak noise levels when standards for nocturnal noise are set.
