INTRODUCTION, MATERIAL AND METHODS: We studied a profoundly deaf population, in order to evaluate the zeitgeber sleep role of the ambient sound. A closed questionnaire was given to 36 students at a special college for the profoundly deaf and to 321 controls of similar age and sex.
Results:
We do not find total upset of sleep, but a good sleep quality, probably due to the noise isolation of the deafness. We find some traces of insecurity in falling asleep.
Conclusion:
The ambient sound do not seem to play an important role as a sleep-wake zeitgeber.
