TY - JOUR PY - 2003// TI - The effects of the level of alertness during the rest period on subsequent performance JO - International journal of occupational safety and ergonomics A1 - Hirose, Ayako A1 - Nagasaka, Akihiko SP - 479 EP - 490 VL - 9 IS - 4 N2 - The aim of this study was to examine how to take an effective rest to prevent a decline in alertness at work. The relationship between alertness during the rest period and subsequent task performance were investigated. The electroencephalogram (EEG) during the rest period was classified into 3 types, and these types had a significant effect on performance after the rest period. Type 1 (increasing in theta, alpha 2, and beta 1 power) was the best one for carrying out the task, whereas performance gradually declined in Type 3 (no change in EEG activity). In the case of Type 1, the method that would relieve sleep inertia had a more positive impact on performance after the rest period.
