The influence of individual characteristics on diurnal physiological sleep tendency was investigated in young good sleepers. Fifty-five subjects underwent a Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT) procedure. Among them 11 also participated in Repeated Test Sustained Wakefulness (RTSW) procedure. The MSLT results were analyzed as a function of both the number of sleep onsets per day and the time of day. Diurnal sleepiness seemed to be better appreciated by sleep onset (SO) frequency than by the traditional criteria of sleep latency. SO frequency, unlike latency, was influenced by factors such as usual sleep duration, morning/evening score, and RTSW procedure. Time of day effect was characterized by a decrease in sleep tendency at the beginning and at the end of the day (decrease in SO frequency and increase in SO latencies); between these two points a peak of sleepiness around 1400 was observed. The morning and evening periods of high alertness could represent important anchor points for the coupling of the sleep/wake and temperature rhythms.
