“…One concern about the s2P tool was its shorter duration (3 min in this study), as compared to the standard, 10-min RT tests that have usually been reported in previous research Basner & Rubinstein, 2011;Lamond et al, 2005Lamond et al, , 2008Roach et al, 2006;Thorne et al, 2005). This choice of a shorter duration was deliberate, to address many critiques that the 10-min PVT is impractically long for many contexts Basner & Rubinstein, 2011;Lamond et al, 2005Lamond et al, , 2008Roach et al, 2006;Thorne et al, 2005). The duration of an alertness test is crucial, since even severely sleep-deprived individuals will be able to compensate by increasing effort, which will result in adequate performance.…”
