The subjects were given tasks (Uchida-Kraepelin test. etc.) and were made to fill out a self-rating questionnaire of subjective symptoms and the Stanford sleepiness scale (SSS) before every measurement. The CNV area decreased sharply at and after 3:00 of the second day, and dropped to its minimum at 9:00 of the same day and still did not increase after the recovery night. The number of subjective symptoms reached its maximum at 6:00 and 9:00 of the second day. A close correlation was found between the number of subjective symptoms and the CNV area during sleep deprivation. The SSS was at its maximum at 6:00 of the second day and a good correlation was found between the SSS and the CNV area. The correlation between the CNV area and CFF and between the CNV area and oral temperature was slight. The CNV is meaningful as an index which objectively indicates the drop in arousal level caused by sleep deprivation.}, pages = {91--100}, title = {The Influence of Sleep Deprivation on the Contingent Negative Variation}, volume = {47}, year = {1985} }
