Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
difference % absolute of flow-mediated-dilatation (FMD) on the morning after noise and control nights. The measurement is performed by determining the vessel diameter of the brachial artery with linear probe ultrasound before and after 5 minutes of proximal occlusion with a pressure cuff.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
systolic blood pressure(continous), sleep quality (VAS and Evening-Morning protocol of the German societey of sleep medicine DGSM) Pulse transit time (Somnowatch during study nights) adrenaline (concentration on the morning after study nights) HRV (contiously Somnowatch) HF (continously Somnowatch)
