Avoidance and sleep have been identified as mechanisms involved in the development and maintenance of many mental health disorders. However, there has been little research into the relation between sl...
To address this, a randomized controlled experiment using behavioral and self-report measures of affect and avoidance was conducted. Compared to a control group, we hypothesized that sleep-deprived in...
Repeated measures ANOVAs demonstrated negative affectivity and self-reported avoidance increased, and positive affectivity decreased, from pre-to post-manipulation in the sleep loss condition as expec...
This study emphasized internal validity over generalizability. Additionally, the at-home sleep deprivation limited researcher control over the overnight activities of participants....
Results replicate prior work on the affective consequences of sleep deprivation and highlight a discrepancy between the effect of sleep deprivation on behavioral avoidance toward a specific stimulus c...
Gut microbiota comprises the microbial communities inhabiting our gastrointestinal (GI) tracts. Accordingly, these complex communities play a fundamental role in many host processes and are closely im...
Caregivers for stroke survivors (CSS) suffer from long hours of care, limited support, and financial difficulties, which often affect their mental health....
This study sought to determine the factors affecting psychological distress and sleep duration among CSS....
We analyzed cross-sectional data from the 2013 Comprehensive Survey of the Living Conditions for Stroke Survivors and CSS. Linked data from 841 pairs of stroke survivors and CSS were extracted. Kessle...
The mean (SD) age of the CSS was 65.4 (12.5) years. A total of 5.6% of these caregivers presented with serious psychological distress, and 12.0% were sleep deprived. Serious psychological distress was...
This nationwide survey identified several risk factors for psychological stress and sleep deprivation among CSS and suggests the need for multidimensional approaches to reduce their distress....
Ghrelin, a regulator of food intake and energy expenditure, has been shown to be associated with insufficient sleep. The goal of the present study was to investigate the effect of a single night of to...
In this study, our aim was to demonstrate the effect of sleep deprivation, short sleep, and awakening on photoparoxysmal responses (PPR) and eyelid myoclonia (EM) in patients with Epilepsy with Eyelid...
E-EM patients with at least 1 year of follow-up in our clinic were included in the study. Video EEG(v-EEG) analyses were divided into three periods of wakefulness, sleep, and awakening. The PPR and on...
32 patients met the study criteria, of which 56.3% (n = 18) were male. The mean age at disease onset was 7.7 ± 4.1 years. The mean age at EEG recording was 12.4 ± 4.0 years. EM was observed only on aw...
This study showed that EM is most prominent and sometimes can only be detected in the awakening period in E-EM. In order to detect E-EM, v-EEG recordings including both pre-sleep and post-sleep wakefu...
Fluid intelligence is seen as a beneficial attribute, protecting against stress and ill-health. Whether intelligence provides resilience to the cognitive effects of insufficient sleep was tested in th...
Whether you are reading, running or sleeping, your brain and its fluid environment continuously interacts to distribute nutrients and clear metabolic waste. Yet, the precise mechanisms for solute tran...
Comparing the nature of adolescent sleep across urban and more isolated, rural settings through an ecological, cross-cultural perspective represents one way to inform sleep nuances and broaden our und...
