All measured noise levels were high during both periods, which could contribute to sleep disturbance, and the implementation of guidelines significantly lowers some important noise levels.
This inexpensive, objective and non-invasive method facilitates large-scale field studies on the effects of traffic noise on sleep.
The difficulties in assessing the effect of noise on sleep are particularly obvious if we consider another finding: deaf subjects spend significantly less time in delta sleep than do control subjects47 and they present sleep pattern alterations remarkably similar to those which are most consistently described in noisy conditions.
Inhibition-related ERPs may be more sensitive indicators of moderate sleep disturbances caused by noise than performance measures.
Circadian rhythm management, sleep hygiene, and white noise could ameliorate sleep difficulties.
The findings support the assumption that strong daytime noise may interfere with subsequent sleep processes.
This suggests that this method is a useful tool to measure the sleep disturbance caused by noise under well-controlled conditions.
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.
