Sleep continuity

Specific indices of sleep continuity may include latency to sleep onset, number of awakenings after sleep onset, total time of .

The importance of sleep for cognition in young adults is well establishe but the role of habitual sleep behavior in cognition across the adult lifespan remains unknown.

New variables for defining sleep continuity. Merica H(1), Blois R, Bovier P, Gaillard JM. Sleep duration varies widely across individuals and appears to be trait-like. Differences in the stability of underlying sleep processes may underlie this phenomenon. To investigate underlying mechanisms, we examined the relationship between sleep duration and sleep continuity in baseline . The aim of this study was to examine whether the transition rate between different sleep stages could be used as an index of sleep continuity to predict self-reported sleep . The Effects of Sleep Continuity Disruption on Positive Mood and Sleep Architecture in Healthy Adults.

Finan PH(1), Quartana PJ(2), Smith MT(1). To our knowledge, this is the first human experimental study to demonstrate that, despite comparable reductions in total sleep time, partial sleep loss from sleep continuity disruption is more detrimental to positive mood than partial sleep loss from delaying bedtime, even when controlling for concomitant .

Given that sleep affects executive function, age-related changes in executive function may be attributable to changes in sleep. Edwards RR(1), Grace E, Peterson S, Klick B, Haythornthwaite JA, Smith MT. OBJECTIVES: The objective of the study was to evaluate the prevalence of sleep continuity disorders in women during menopausal transition, to evaluate the relationship between disturbances of sleep continuity and the severity of menopausal syndrome and the occurrence of various symptoms of this syndrome , as well as . The lower the value, the more fragmented your sleep was. Approximately of the population suf- fers from insomnia, a chronic sleep disorder with daytime impairments.

The most commonly reported symptom of in- somnia is sleep continuity disruption, whereby inadequate sleep is . Whereas previous research has mainly focused on sleep states, namely REM and NREM amount, very little attention has been paid to the hypothesis that pre- sleep learning might improve sleep continuity , stability, and cyclic organization, which are often impaired in aging. Thus, aim of this research was to . Improved sleep continuity and increased slow wave sleep and REM latency during ziprasidone treatment: a randomize controlle crossover trial of healthy male subjects.

Sleep discontinuity and impaired sleep continuity affect transition to and from obesity over time: from the Alameda county study.

The purpose of this study was to test an experimental model of the effects of sleep continuity disturbance on sleep architecture and positi. The present study was undertaken to assess whether modafinil could be used to reduce daytime fatigue, sleepiness, or both in patients with . Ageing is associated with changes in sleep and decline executive functions, such as task-switching and task preparation.
