TLDR
The results clarify the temporal pattern of physiological vigilance during performance in narcoleptics and also demonstrate the insufficiency of the lapse-microsleep formulation in explaining performance deterioration in these patients.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
An overview of sleepiness and accidents.
TL;DR: The association between neurobiologically‐based sleepiness/fatigue and human‐error related accidents is reviewed and it concludes that fatigue contributes to human error and accidents in technology‐rich, industrialized societies in terms of human, environmental and economic impacts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vigilance, alertness, or sustained attention: physiological basis and measurement.
TL;DR: The underlying neural basis of vigilance and its assessment using physiologic tools is discussed and since, assessment of vigilance requires assessment of cognitive function this aspect is also discussed.

Sleepiness on the job: continuously measured EEG changes in train drivers.
Lars Torsvall,Torbjörn Åkerstedt +1 more
TL;DR: It was concluded that EEG and EOG parameters closely reflect variations in sleepiness on the job and that these parameters, together with self-ratings, demonstrate that severe sleepiness may occur in train drivers during night work.

Pharmacological aspects of human and canine narcolepsy
Seiji Nishino,Emmanuel Mignot +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the primary neurochemical and neuroanatomical systems that underlie the expression of abnormal REM sleep and excessive sleepiness in narcolepsy-cataplexy were identified.

REVIEW ARTICLESleep inertia
Patricia Tassi,Alain Muzet +1 more
TL;DR: Although most studies have focused on sleep inertia after short naps, its effects can be shown after a normal 8-h sleep period, and one of the most critical factors is the sleep stage prior to awakening.

The effects of a chronic limitation of sleep length.
Wilse B. Webb,And H. W. Agnew +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that a chronic loss of sleep as much as 2 1/2 hours a night is not likely to result in major behavioral consequences and the mood scales showed no changes associated with continuing to sleep 5 1/5 hrs a night.
Journal ArticleDOI
Some effects of sleep loss on memory.
TL;DR: The results imply that moderate sleep loss causes deficit in formation of the memory trace rather than in storage or retrieval functions and that this effect is probably independent of the physiological lapses (brief periods of sleep) which affect vigilance and sensory registration.
