Assessment

Primary outcomes

Pupillary oscillation during the Psychomotor Vigilance Test (PVT) and PVT performance

Key secondary outcomes

Subjective sleep assessments obtained using questionnaires at the on-site assessment.
Subjective fatigue assessed using a visual analogue scale at the on-site assessment.

Other related information

This prospective cross-sectional observational study will include 50 adults aged 18 years or older. Participants will be recruited from ophthalmology outpatients at Tohoku University Hospital and through public recruitment, including university notices, email, and health promotion events. Physical activity and sleep will be monitored for a total of seven days under daily living conditions. During the on-site assessment, pupil diameter and heart rate variability will be continuously recorded during a 15-minute Psychomotor Vigilance Test (PVT). The association between pupillary oscillation and PVT performance will be examined. Exploratory analyses will also examine associations of pupillary oscillation with subjective sleep assessments, subjective fatigue, autonomic function, and physical activity and sleep indices.
