Arguments

la

Low asymptote. Minimum alertness allowed by homeostatic process (S)

ha

High asymptote. Maximum alertness allowed by homeostatic process (S)

d

Alertness decay rate. Rate at which alterness decays when awake (homestatic process)

g

Fatigue recovery rate per unit time. Rate at which alertness recovers when asleep

bl

Alertness level that breaks Sprime function. The alertness level at which low pressure sleep kicks in

Cm

Mesor of C process (average level) for 24-hour circadian (C) process

Ca

Amplitude of C process (extent to which peaks deviate from average level) for 24-hour circadian (C) process

p

Default C process phase (i.e., peak) for 24-hour circadian (C) process

Um

Mesor of U process (average level) for 12-hour circadian (U) process (dip in afternoon)

Ua

Amplitude of U process process (extent to which peaks deviate from average level) for 12-hour circadian (U) process (dip in afternoon)

Wc

Initial reduction in alertness for sleep inertia (W) process

Wd

Recovery rate for sleep inertia (W) process

S0

Initial value of homeostatic process (S)

KSS_intercept

KSS transformation intercept

KSS_beta

KSS transformation beta

Value
