Abstract
Participants watched a brief video, then answered questions on sleepiness and sleep quality. Sleep measures did not predict memory for central or peripheral video details. Face recognition was only slightly lower for sleepy participants. Mild sleepiness appears to have little effect on eyewitness memory following a brief retention interval.
