The study was performed in a sleep laboratory and on an open French highway. Twenty-two healthy male subjects (age=21.5+/-2 years; distance driven per year=12,225+/-4739km (7641+/-2962miles) [mean+/-S.D.]) drove 1000km (625miles) over 10h during five 105min sessions on an open highway. Self-rated fatigue and sleepiness before each session, number of inappropriate line crossings from video recordings and simple reaction time (RT) were measured. Total crossings increased after sleep restriction (535 crossings in the sleep-restricted condition versus 66 after non-restricted sleep (incidence rate ratio (IRR): 8.1; 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 3.2-20.5; p
