Early morning melatonin administration impairs psychomotor vigilance.
The acute soporific effect of melatonin in humans has been demonstrated in a range of studies. How alertness and performance are changed after melatonin given in the morning is not yet known. In a double-blind, placebo-controlled study of nine healthy young men, melatonin was given at 0700 h under controlled conditions of a modified constant routine protocol lasting 56 h (2 days, 3 nights with ...
متن کاملA new metric for quantifying performance impairment on the psychomotor vigilance test.
We have developed a new psychomotor vigilance test (PVT) metric for quantifying the effects of sleep loss on performance impairment. The new metric quantifies performance impairment by estimating the probability density of response times (RTs) in a PVT session, and then considering deviations of the density relative to that of a baseline-session density. Results from a controlled laboratory stu...
متن کاملThe Psychomotor Vigilance Test: Sources of State and Trait Variance
Within the context of pilot and air traffic controller selection tests the Psychomotor Vigilance Test (PVT, Dinges & Powell, 1985) was evaluated for its underlying sources of variance. The PVT is a simple visual reaction time task, which is well established as a measure of alertness during sustained operations. It provides scores for mean reaction times and number of lapses. While the PVT has p...
متن کاملObstructive sleep apnea and psychomotor vigilance task performance
BACKGROUND Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a highly prevalent disorder with considerable morbidity and mortality. Vigilance and attentiveness are often impaired in OSA patients. In occupational medicine settings, subjective reports of sleepiness are notoriously inaccurate, making the identification of objective measures of vigilance potentially important for risk assessments of fitness for dut...
متن کاملDopaminergic Polymorphisms Associated with Time-on-Task Declines and Fatigue in the Psychomotor Vigilance Test
Prolonged demands on the attention system can cause a decay in performance over time known as the time-on-task effect. The inter-subject differences in the rate of this decline are large, and recent efforts have been made to understand the biological bases of these individual differences. In this study, we investigate the genetic correlates of the time-on-task effect, as well as its accompanyin...
