The effects of one night's total sleep deprivation were examined using the Wilkinson vigilance task and four 10 min duration performance tests. A repeated measures design was used in which eight male subjects experienced one night of sleep loss, the order of sleep loss being balanced across subjects. The four short duration performance tests consisted of choice reaction time, simple reaction time, short-term memory, and a motor task, handwriting. The results confirm the effects of one night's sleep deprivation on the vigilance task and also show that performance on the two reaction time tests was significantly impaired by the loss of sleep, but not at such a high level as for the vigilance. The short-term memory test failed to show any adverse effects of sleep loss and similarly for the handwriting. The experiment shows that two portable and brief (10 min) performance tests are sensitive indices of sleep loss and should be particularly useful for assessing levels of alertness in the field.
使用威尔金森警觉任务和四项持续时间为10分钟的绩效测试，对一晚完全睡眠剥夺的影响进行了研究。采用重复测量设计，八名男性受试者经历了一晚的睡眠缺失，睡眠缺失的顺序在受试者间进行了平衡。四项短时间绩效测试包括选择反应时间、简单反应时间、短期记忆和一项运动任务——手写。结果证实了一晚睡眠剥夺对警觉任务的影响，还表明睡眠缺失显著损害了两项反应时间测试的表现，但程度不如警觉任务那么高。短期记忆测试未显示出睡眠缺失的任何不利影响，手写测试也是如此。该实验表明，两项便携式简短（10分钟）绩效测试是睡眠缺失的敏感指标，对于评估现场的警觉水平应特别有用。
