TL;DR
A sensitivity primarily of SV to sleepiness, and a correlation of SV and IPD to impaired simulated driving performance are demonstrated, providing evidence for the potential utility of oculomotor indicators in the detection of excessive sleepiness and deterioration of complex motor performance with chronic partial sleep restriction.
Abstract
This paper shows a relationship between sleep deprivation and oculomotor measures, and suggests a potential utility for oculometrics in assessing operational performance readiness under sleep restricted conditions.

Evidence is provided that short‐term sleep deprivation produces global decreases in brain activity, with larger reductions in activity in the distributed cortico‐thalamic network mediating attention and higher‐order cognitive processes, and is complementary to studies demonstrating deactivation of these cortical regions during NREM and REM sleep.
PsychophysiologyCumulative Effects of Sleep Restriction on Daytime Sleepiness

During the recovery period, daytime sleepiness returned to basal values on all three measures following one full night of sleep; with a daytime nap, no further cumulative effects of sleep restriction were seen.
NeuroreportSleep deprivation-induced reduction in cortical functional response to serial subtraction
286 Citations1999Sean P. A. Drummond, Gregory G. Brown +4 more
Data from the serial subtraction task are consistent with Horne's PFC vulnerability hypothesis but, based on this and other studies, it is suggested the localized, functional effects of SD in the brain may vary, in part, with the specific cognitive task.
Accident Analysis & PreventionHow do prolonged wakefulness and alcohol compare in the decrements they produce on a simulated driving task?
258 Citations2001J. Todd Arnedt, Gerald J.S. Wilde +2 more
The findings suggest that impairments in simulated driving are evident even at relatively modest blood alcohol levels, and that wakefulness prolonged by as little as 3 h can produce decrements in the ability to maintain speed and road position as serious as those found at the legal limits of alcohol consumption.

The results revealed that the full sleep deprivation and alcohol group exhibited a safety-critical decline in lane-keeping performance, and both sleep-deprived groups were characterized by subjective discomfort and an awareness of reduced performance capability.

The results confirmed changes in autonomic activity from waking to sleep, with marked differences between NREM and REM sleep, and suggested gender differences in autonomics functioning during waking and sleep.

SYNWORK1 is a computer-based performance task that requires subjects to work simultaneously on four distinct subtasks involving memory, arithmetic processing, and visual and auditory monitoring that is used in sleep-deprivation and circadian desynchronization experiments and in a variety of clinical research applications.

This paper demonstrates both the absence of a predictable short-term "muscle fatigue" effect and the presence of a generalized "mental fatigue" (i.e. tiredness) effect in saccadic eye movements.

It is questioned whether mild sleep deprivation may have the same effect as alcohol on reaction times and driving performance in a large sector of the population of the United States.
Clinical NeurophysiologyOculomotor impairment after 1 night of total sleep deprivation: a dissociation between measures of speed and accuracy
79 Citations2000Luigi De Gennaro, Michèle Ferrara +2 more
It is concluded that 40 h of sleep deprivation significantly impaired diurnal performance in pursuit and saccadic tasks, and this performance worsening is limited to the measures of speed, while accuracy is not affected by sleep loss.
ErgonomicsTime on task and blink effects on saccade duration
66 Citations1996David K. McGregor, John A. Stern
The results suggest caution in interpreting saccade velocity change as an index of 'fatigue' since most of the reduction in average saccades velocity may be secondary to increases in blink frequency.
