Thirteen subjects took part in a series of 12-day runs in an experiment on the effects of demanding work/rest schedules. On days 8, 9, and 10, subjects were deprived of sleep and worked continuously. No significant work/rest effects were seen until subjects were sleep-deprived. In general, subjects on the 16/8 schedule tolerated sleep deprivation better and recovered faster, as evidenced by psychomotor test scores and sleep reports.
