Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Performance metrics on simulated robotic tasks - time	Over this 72 hour time frame there will be six assessments. Once on Day1, 4 times during the sleep deprivation on Days 2-3, and once on Day 4, the participant will perform computer simulations of "missions" with tasks. The time to complete tasks will be one of the metrics. The change in metrics related to length of time of awake will be assessed using longitudinal analysis methods.	72 hours
