Mean ± s.e.m. are indicated. Values for objective vigilance and cortisol measures are indicated for the measures before the first and second sleep period. Subjective sleepiness was measured before the first sleep period and in the morning after the second sleep period. Odor detection was measured before and after the second sleep period in which reactivation took place.
