Decreased salivary alpha-amylase levels are associated with performance deficits during sleep loss

Highlights • Sleep deprivation did not affect the diurnal profile of salivary alpha-amylase (sAA). • Higher sAA levels were associated with better performance. • Performance deficits were associated with a decline in sAA levels. • sAA levels and performance exhibited similar diurnal profiles during...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • Sleep deprivation did not affect the diurnal profile of salivary alpha-amylase (sAA). • Higher sAA levels were associated with better performance. • Performance deficits were associated with a decline in sAA levels. • sAA levels and performance exhibited similar diurnal profiles during Day 1. • sAA levels may be useful indicators of performance during 50 h of wakefulness.
