Homeostatic sleep pressure and responses to sustained attention in the suprachiasmatic area. Science. 2009 Apr 24;324(5926):516-9. Note: This paper is described in a ScienceNow article(http://sciencenow.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/sciencenow;2009/423/5), which is not available online without cost. From the ScienceNow article: "It's a result with "real-world consequences," says sleep researcher David Dinges of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine in Philadelphia. Current risk analyses use the time of day and hours worked to predict when people are in greatest danger of accidents--such as aviation errors. But now, Dinges says, they may need to take into account that morning people tend to lose their concentration faster."
