Research Paper Title Development of a new night-time noise index: Integration of neurophysiological theory and epidemiological findings Background The effects of environmental noise on sleep are of great interest to public health. Numerous studies have been conducted to investigate these effects; however, these previous studies applied existing sound-level statistics that were not based on neurophysiology.… Read More
Research Paper Title Models for Predicting Sleep Latency and Sleep Duration. Background Planning effective sleep-wake schedules for civilian and military settings depends on the ability to predict the extent to which restorative sleep is likely for a specified sleep period. Here, the researchers developed and validated two mathematical models, one for predicting sleep latency and… Read More
