Meta-Analysis of the Relationship Between Total Sleep Deprivation and Performance

Koslowsky, Meni, Babkoff, Harvey·1992·Chronobiology International

Abstract

Studies consistently show that total sleep deprivation (TSD) and measures of performance are negatively correlated. However, an accurate quantitative summary of the relationship between these variables has not yet been reported. After collection of the data from 27 relevant studies, meta-analytic techniques were used to test several hypotheses. The correlations were found to be highest for TSD of greater than or equal to 45 h, speed rather than accuracy measures of performance, and work-paced rather than self-paced tasks. These findings are consistent with the "lapse hypothesis" that posits microsleeps during long hours of sleep deprivation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
