Article Synopsis
- - The study investigated the impact of high levels of environmental carbon dioxide (CO) on daytime sleepiness, specifically at 5000 ppm, and found that it significantly increased sleepiness and reduced sleep latency for participants.
- - Eleven healthy male participants underwent a controlled sleep test, revealing that exposure to elevated CO levels led to higher subjective sleepiness ratings compared to control conditions, although cognitive performance remained unchanged.
- - The results suggest that high CO exposure at work could contribute to increased daytime sleepiness, potentially compromising work efficiency and safety, emphasizing the importance of monitoring air quality in work environments.
Environmental carbon dioxide (CO ) could affect various mental and physiological activities in humans, but its effect on daytime sleepiness is still controversial. In a randomized and counterbalanced crossover study with twelve healthy volunteers, we applied a combinational approach using classical frequentist and Bayesian statistics to analyze the CO exposure effect on daytime sleepiness and electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. Subjective sleepiness was measured by the Japanese Karolinska Sleepiness Scale (KSS-J) by recording EEG during CO exposure at different concentrations: Normal (C), 4000 ppm (Moderately High: MH), and 40 000 ppm (high: H).

Methods: Subjects (n = 24, age = 25.5 ± 4 years) were allocated to either one of the treatment groups that performed 100 maximal isokinetic eccentric contractions at 30° with the right-dominant knee extensors: (1) with (EXPCG) or (2) without CG (EXP) or to (3) a control group (CONCG: CG, no exercise).
