Abstract
Fourteen participants provided behavioral awakening responses to long and short duration sounds in their own bedrooms over a three‐week period. Four sound sources were presented in two temporal patterns (10‐dB‐down durations of 10 s and 16 min) in an adaptive design that maximized data acquisition at lower sound levels and probabilities of awakening. The results suggested that (1) the normalized probability of awakening was a linear function of the maximum sound level for a given temporal presentation pattern, (2) the temporal pattern of exposure had a major effect on sleep interference that may be reconciled on the basis of equal energy for equal probability of awakening, and (3) not all sounds of equal A‐level produce equal probabilities of awakening.
