N2  - The writers of this article, in continuation of work already reported, discuss the effect of insomnia upon a group of 31 college students. Forms 5, 7 and 9 of the Alpha tests were given to this group and a control group of 39 students on three successive mornings. The first group went without sleep the night after taking the first test, and until the completion of the second testing. Examination of the scores of both groups reveals the interesting fact that insomnia had no appreciable effect upon accomplishment. All of the members of the first group reported nervousness, irritability, dullness, etc., on the second day; but they also reported the exertion of their best effort during the second examination. This effort, combined with the greater interest which this group took in the experiment, undoubtedly compensated for any decrease in efficiency due to loss of sleep. From Psych Bulletin 19:11:00782.
