In a sleep dose-response study (3,8) we examined the effects of three conditions of sleep restriction [3, 5, or 7 hr time in bed (TIB)] and one condition of sleep augmentation (9 hr TIB) on performance over 7 days and during the subsequent 3 days of recovery (all groups = 8 hr TIB). These sleep dose-response effects were compared against the training/baseline period in which all groups were allowed 8 hr TIB.
