What the study found
After repeated sleep restriction, increasing one night of recovery sleep opportunity improved outcomes, but some deficits remained even with ten hours in bed. The findings describe recovery under this particular laboratory protocol.
Scope & limitations
159 healthy adults aged 22–45: 142 in the restriction/recovery conditions and 17 controls.
Time in bed is not actual sleep duration. The study tested one recovery night, so it cannot determine every person’s recovery time or show that additional recovery sleep is ineffective.
Population & sample
159 healthy adults aged 22–45: 142 in the restriction/recovery conditions and 17 controls.
Exposure or intervention
Five nights with four hours in bed, followed by one of six recovery opportunities from zero to ten hours; a ten-hour control condition.
Outcomes
Sustained attention, subjective and physiological sleepiness, cognitive speed, fatigue and sleep measures.
Time frame
Two baseline nights, five restriction nights and a randomized single-night recovery dose within a controlled laboratory stay.
