TY - JOUR PY - 1989// TI - Perceptual distortions and hallucinations reported during the course of sleep deprivation JO - Perceptual and motor skills A1 - Babkoff, H. A1 - Sing, H. C. A1 - Thorne, David R. A1 - Genser, S. G. A1 - Hegge, F. W. SP - 787 EP - 798 VL - 68 IS - 3 N2 - Subjects worked 30 to 45 min. of each hour for either 48 (n = 2) or 72 hr. (n = 8) without sleep. The frequency of reported visual task-related perceptual distortions and hallucinations showed both a linear increasing component and a strong circadian component. Perceptual distortions were most frequent in the late night-early morning hours (0400) and least frequent in the late afternoon-early evening hours (1600-2000).
