In five successive sessions the effect on sleep latencies of three sound stimuli (silence, continuous sound, and an intermittent tone), as well as the combination of a tone plus counting or eye closing, were compared. Tests were conducted under a condition of "artificial insomnia": the subjects attempted sleep in the morning after a full night's sleep. No condition approached the latencies after a night of sleep deprivation. The intermittent tone and the tone plus counting were most effective and showed a differential sessions effect. The tone plus eye opening and closing was counterproductive.
