After his Atlanta appearance he was invited to the Super Regional Combine in Dallas, a final pre-draft NFL trial, in early April.
There was a significant 33% reduction in error rate (Fig. 1A, blue box bracket) from 0.22 errors/sequence on the final pre-sleep trial to 0.15 errors/sequence on the first post-sleep trial (F 1,41) = 10.05; P = 0.003).
Consistent with our accuracy data and with past reports of speed on the finger-tapping task, we also observed a significant, latent overnight sleep-dependent increase in speed (Fig. 1B, blue box bracket), from 24.5 sequences on the final pre-sleep trial to 26.6 sequences on the first post-sleep trial (F 1,43) = 12.58; P<0.0012.58
trials 1 3 of pre-sleep data (Fig. 1B, thick red curve), the observed speeds on the late pre-sleep trials, and in particular, that on the final pre-sleep trial 12 (24.5 sequences) was significantly smaller than the corresponding theoretical value (27.2 sequences) derived from the fit (t(43) = −3.04, P<0.005).
The observed error rate on the final pre-sleep trial 12 (0.22 errors/sequence) was larger than the corresponding value (0.14 errors/sequence) derived from the fit (t(43) = 1.98, P = 0.05).
