Sleep inertia refers to impairments in cognitive/motor performance and the tendency to return to sleep after awakening. As part of a project studying the effect of different types of 100 decibel (dB) sounds on awakening children during stage 4 sleep (S4S), we hypothesized that children with the greatest impairment in auditory arousal during S4S, manifested by the inability to either awaken to 100 dB sounds or successfully perform a self-rescue sequence (SRS), would have greater impairments in reaction time (RT) upon awakening than children who awoke and successfully accomplish a SRS.
