关于午睡对人的警觉性影响的研究

On The Effect of Napping on Human Performance of Vigilance

午睡在我国脑力劳动者中特别流行。人们午睡的一个重要原因是认为午睡可以提高下午和晚上的学习和工作效率。本研究通过一个警觉性试验探讨午睡对人的警觉性注意力的影响。40名有午睡习惯的大学生作为被试者参加了试验。他们被分为午睡组和不让午睡组。结果表明,午睡组的被试者在警觉性试验中的漏报率比不让午睡组稍低一点,说明午睡对提高人的警觉性是有一定的帮助,但它们之间的差异并不是显著的。

Napping is very prevalent in China.People take naps because they think napping can improve their performance in the afternoon and in the evening.We carried out an experiment to investigate the effect of napping on human performance of attention.In the experiment,napping subjects and napping-deprived subjects were asked to perform the same attention demanding task in the afternoon.The detecting ratio of napping subjects is slightly better than that of napping-deprived subjects,but the differences is not statistically significant due to the large difference between subjects.The implications are discussed in the paper.
