Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of sleep deprivation on to visual and

audial reaction times.

Materials and Methods: Thirteen healthy males, mean age 22,92 ± 2,13 year, mean height 176,76 ±

6,74 cm. and mean weight 73,74 ± 5,11 kg. were volunteered to participate in this study. The order of

the trials was assigned to the subjects in a randomized cross-over design and the tests were performed

1 week apart. Measurements were performed following a reference normal sleep night (RS), a partial

sleep deprivation (PSD) and full night sleep deprivation (FNSD). Newtest 1000 reaction timer was

used to measure the visiual and auditory reaction times. oneway repeated measures Anova Test was

used for statistical analysis. After the statistical analysis there were no significant differences between

trials on visual and auditory reaction time parameters (p>0,05).

Results: As a conclusion, visual and auditory reaction time parameters were not effected by sleep

deprivation.
