Effects of slow-release XXXX and a nap on driving simulator performance after @entity1949 .

@entity1 @entity1949 @entity5834 @entity25
A driving simulator was used to evaluate the effectiveness of a 30-min. nap and 300-mg slow-release @entity5834 as countermeasures to drivers' @entity25 induced by @entity1949 . 12 @entity1 were allowed 45 hr. time in bed at the laboratory. Driving performance then was measured twice--at 9 a.m. and at 1 p.m.--by a 45-min. driving task on a simulator. @entity25 /alertness and mood were assessed four times on the Stanford Sleepiness Scale and the Profile of Mood States. Driving performance was assessed as Lane Drifting, Speed Deviation, and Accident Liability. A 30-min. nap opportunity and 300 mg of slow-release @entity5834 both were successful in counteracting drivers' @entity25 . The remedial effect of slow-release @entity5834 lasted longer than that of the nap, that is, it was also effective in the afternoon session. This suggests that slow-release @entity5834 represents a valuable countermeasure that, in the case of @entity1949 , is preferred to a nap when @entity25 has to be counteracted for a longer time.
