Abstract
We tested effects of sleep duration and light intensity on effort-related cardiovascular response during performance of an auditory 2-back task. Systolic blood pressure was higher in sleep-restricted compared to well-rested individuals during the first minute of the task in the first of two sessions. Light intensity had no significant effects.
