STUDY OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to investigate the recovery of sleep and waking functions following one night of total sleep deprivation, when recovery opportunity was either augmented or restricted. DESIGN: The 9-day laboratory study involved a baseline night, a night of sleep loss (approximately 40 h) followed by 5 nighttime recovery sleep periods. Recovery consisted of either five 9-h sleep opportunities or five 6-h sleep opportunities. SETTING: All data collection took place in a controlled laboratory environment at the Centre for Sleep Research. PARTICIPANTS: A total of n = 20 healthy adults (18-35 yrs) participated in the study. RESULTS: Each sleep period was recorded using a standard polysomnographic EEG montage. Waking functions were assessed every 2 hours during all wake periods, using a 10 minute psychomotor vigilance task (PVT) and a subjective alertness visual analogue scale (VAS). Sleep analyses indicated that across the week TST, SOL, REM, and sleep efficiency varied significantly between the 2 conditions, but amounts of SWS did not. Waking functions in the 9-h condition recovered after one sleep period. In the 6-h condition however, mean response time on the PVT was 10% below baseline and subjective alertness 20% below baseline for the entire recovery period. CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest that TST is a key factor in determining recovery. When recovery opportunity is restricted, both sleep variables and measures of waking functions do not recover.
