Abstract
Abstract Abstract The effect of sleep loss on circadian performance rhythms is discussed. Data are presented which indicate that the maxima and minima of the circadian component of performance curves are delayed by 2 to 4 h as a result of sleep deprivation. The consequences of such a change are discussed. Key Words: Sleep lossCognitive performancePsychomotor performanceCircadian rhythmsShift work

ErgonomicsShort and Long-term Adjustment of Circadian Rhythms in ‘ Permanent ’ Night Nurses
161 Citations1978Simon Folkard, Timothy H. Monk +1 more
Two studies are described in which differences were found in the adjustment of the circadian rhythms of full and part-time night nurses to night work, and it is suggested that these differences in long-term adjustment may take the form of a permanent ‘flattening’ of the rhythm, or of a facilitation of short- term adjustment.
ErgonomicsThe Effect of Memory Load on the Circadian Variation in Performance Efficiency Under a Rapidly Rotating Shift System*
156 Citations1976SIMON FOLKAKD, Peter Knauth +2 more
It is concluded that future shift work studies must take into account the memory load of subjects on a rapidly rotating (-2-2) shift system, because performance was negatively correlated with temperature and was best during the night shift.

Three levels of working memory load of a visual search task were tested in a 72-hour sleep deprivation paradigm and the implication of potentiated circadian rhythmicity as a function of cumulative sleep loss is discussed.

The present results support the hypothesis that acute disruption of the 24-hr sleep-wakefulness cycle produces degradations in human performance largely independent of total sleep time.

It was suggested that permanent night work might facilitate a more rapid switch over to night work after free days because the patterns of variation were similar during the three nights of measurement without any observable adjustment over the week.
Scandinavian Journal of Work Environment & HealthCircadian rhythms in human performance
43 Citations1979J. Rutenfranz, W. P. Colquhoun
The finding that the largest negative variations in performance are normally observed when this need for sleep is greatest raises the practical problem of job design in relation to time of day, and a taxonomic approach is suggested as the most fruitful way of arriving at the optimal solution.

It is suggested that 24-h rhythms in some performance and physiological measures perhaps are more readily responsive to an altered wake/sleep cycle than other circadian rhythms.

In young, good sleepers the diurnal evolution of alertness was studied as a function of degree of morningness: (1) during habitual sleep routine and (2) in a 2-hr sleep reduction protocol.

There were indications that the changes in the mean on-shift trend in temperature during the week in response to successive days of an altered sleep-waking routine were more pronounced, in the group as a whole, than the changes observed in a control group of young men when the latter were exposed to similar unusual routines.
