Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The time-synchronous recording of physiological and acoustic signals is the basis for an event-related evaluation of flight noise-associated wake-up reactions and allows the exact correlation between an aircraft noise event and a wake-up reaction. In the event-related analysis it is checked whether within 3 epochs (?90 s) after the beginning of an aircraft noise event a stage change from a deeper sleep stage to the awake or S1 stage has occurred. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Every morning after getting up, the test persons evaluate the past night in retrospect with regard to their sleep quality and short-term annoyance caused by aircraft noise as well as their current state of health. | — |
