- Brief Summary
This study aims at measuring the impact of a night of sleep deprivation over the vocal characteristics of healthy subjects.To do so, the subjects takes a Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT) the day after a night of total sleep deprivation (or a supervised normal night for the control subjects). Before each iteration of the MSLT, the subjects are recorded during the reading of a text and fill three medical questionnaires : Karolinska Sleepiness Scale (KSS), Visual Analogue Scale for Fatigue (VAS-F) and Visual Analogue Scale for Anxiety (VAS-A), allowing to link variations of vocal markers to the variations of these measures.
- Detailed Description
Excessive Daytime Sleepiness (EDS) is a frequent symptom that concerns between 5% and 8% of the population. The individual consequence of EDS is a diminution of the life quality. Furthermore, EDS is a cause of high socio-medical costs though the accidental risks that it induces at work and on the road (Ohayon, Reynolds et al. 2013). Indeed, it is a severe symptom due to the consequences that it is the cause of. Furthermore, EDS is associated to 5 to 20% of road accidents depending on the type of road network. As a consequence, to elaborate a sleepiness detection through voice in real time system is a major challenge for public health-care and medicine. Moreover, it offers benefits from a socio-medical aspect, as detecting sleepiness through voice doesn't require neither consumables furniture nor specialized staff to be set up.
To highlight the effect of sleepiness over voice, investigators designed this experiment around a night of total sleep deprivation. To measure objective sleepiness of subjects, they takes a MSLT test the day after a night of total sleep deprivation (or a supervised night for control). The complementary measures (KSS, VAS-A, VAS-F and Psychomotor Vigilance Task (PVT)) will allow to study the exact origin of the variations of the vocal markers induced by the sleep deprivation.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Acoustic fingerprint Visit 3 (V3) between 14 and 60 days after inclusion (V1) Acoustic fingerprint (statistics on prosody, frequency and energy) influenced by sleep deprivation measured at each iteration of TILE at visits V2 and V3.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method lexical decision Visit (V2) between 7 and 10 days after inclusion (V1) and Visit 3 (V3) between 14 and 60 days after inclusion (V1) The scores to the lexical decision task
Karoslinska Sleepiness Scale questionnaire Visit (V2) between 7 and 10 days after inclusion (V1) and Visit 3 (V3) between 14 and 60 days after inclusion (V1) The score to the Karoslinska Sleepiness Scale questionnaire. This measure links the vocal markers with subjective instantaneous sleepiness.
Minimum value 1 (extremely alert); maximum value 9 (extremely sleepy, fighting sleep)sleep onset Visit (V2) between 7 and 10 days after inclusion (V1) and Visit 3 (V3) between 14 and 60 days after inclusion (V1) The sleep onset at each iteration of the MSLT (in minutes). This evaluate the objective sleepiness of the subject, right after that its voice has been recorded, allowing to link vocal markers and objective sleepiness of the subject.
VAS-Fatigue Visit (V2) between 7 and 10 days after inclusion (V1) and Visit 3 (V3) between 14 and 60 days after inclusion (V1) The score to the VAS-Fatigue. This measure links the vocal markers and with the fatigue of the subject.

Visit (V2) between 7 and 10 days after inclusion (V1) and Visit 3 (V3) between 14 and 60 days after inclusion (V1) The score to the VAS-Anxiety. This measure links the vocal markers and the anxiety level of the subject.
