ABSTRACT: In an experiment with a single participant, the author, signals from a weak vibrator were presented at random time intervals to the participant, while he was ready to fall asleep at night. A pilot test of twenty 15-minute sessions indicated that this sleepy attention to the signals produced a reduction of the signal frequency, z = 2.45, p = .014, two-tailed, and a bunching of the signals along the time axis, z = 1.63. The subsequent main experiment, comprising 40 night sessions, confirmed the signal frequency reduction, = 2.24, p = .013, one-tailed, and the bunching effect, z = 2.85, p = .0022, one-tailed. In parallel with the night sessions of the main ...
