The Revival of Active Behavioural Devices for Measuring Sleep Latency
SMGr up Review Article SM Journal of The Revival of Active Behavioural Sleep Disorders Devices for Measuring Sleep Latency Hannah Scott1* and Leon Lack1,2 1Department of Psychology, Flinders University, Australia 2Department of Medicine, Flinders University, Australia Article Information Abstract Received date: Sep 26, 2017 The current gold standard for objectively measuring sleep latency, polysomnography (PSG), requires Accepted date: Oct 31, 2017 specialised equipment and trained individuals to administer. As such, PSG is an expensive and cumbersome procedure, particularly for use in the home environment. Actigraphy devices are a common practical alternative Published date: Nov 06, 2017 that can be used in the home environment, but they often underestimate sleep latency. For these reasons, it is difficult to accurately measure sleep latency outside of the sleep laboratory setting. *Corresponding author This problem has led to the revival of active behavioural devices for measuring sleep latency. Thim is a Hannah Scott, School of Psychology, small active behavioural device that uses behavioural responses to stimuli to measure the onset of sleep. The Flinders University, GPO Box 2100, design of Thim is based on previous research with similar devices, which were found to accurately measure sleep latency. If found to accurately measure sleep onset, Thim could be used for many potential applications, Adelaide, Australia, 5001, including facilitating 10-minute power naps and administering a novel, effective treatment for insomnia called Tel: 61 08 8201 2767; Intensive Sleep Retraining (ISR) in the home environment.

Variability of Driving Performance During Microsleeps
PROCEEDINGS of the Third International Driving Symposium on Human Factors in Driver Assessment, Training and Vehicle Design VARIABILITY OF DRIVING PERFORMANCE DURING MICROSLEEPS Amit Paul1, Linda Ng Boyle1, 3, Jon Tippin2, Matthew Rizzo1, 2, 3 (1) College of Engineering and (2) Medicine (3) Public Policy Center University of Iowa, Iowa City, Iowa, USA E-mail: [email protected] Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the value of measuring microsleeps as an indicator of driving performance impairment in drowsy drivers with sleep disorders. Drivers with sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea/hypopena syndrome (OSAHS) are at increased risk for driving performance errors due to microsleep episodes, which presage sleep onset. To meet this aim, we tested the hypothesis that OSAHS drivers show impaired control over vehicle steering, lane position and velocity during microsleep episodes compared to when they are driving without microsleeps on similar road segments. A microsleep is defined as a 3-14 sec episode during which 4-7 Hz (theta) activity replaces the waking 8-13 Hz (alpha) background rhythm. Microsleep episodes were identified in the electroencephalography (EEG) record by a neurologist certified by the American Board of Sleep Medicine. Twenty-four drivers with OSAHS were tested using simulated driving scenarios. Steering variability, lane position variability, acceleration and velocity measures were assessed in the periods during a microsleep, immediately preceding (pre) microsleep, and immediately following (post) microsleep. In line with our introductory hypothesis, drivers with OSAHS did show significantly greater variation in steering and lane position during the microsleep episodes compared to the periods pre and post microsleep. -
The Science of Sleep
In order to have efficient and normal functioning of all systems in the body adequate and restorative sleep must be obtained. Mental and physical health is directly affected by an individual’s sleep patterns with poor sleep resulting in a reduced ability to ward off and cope with sickness, a reduced capacity for cellular healing, repair and replacement. This can directly result in altered body system functions and processes that can adversely affect overall wellbeing, particularly in those with autoimmune and other inflammatory conditions. Lack of sleep can also lead to changes in; moods, anxiety, irritability, cognitive function and concentration. Loss of adequate and restorative sleep has also been associated with reduced balance and hand eye co-ordination with the potential for increased injury and decreased capacity to complete work tasks. Sleep is considered to be a dynamic process which involves continuing brain activity which acts to produce and release hormones and proteins essential for organ system regulation as well as growth and tissue repair. The attainment of adequate sleep encourages the maintenance of emotional and social functioning while awake by giving a rest during sleep to the parts of the brain that control emotions and social interactions. Brain chemicals and hormones such as serotonin, adrenaline, melatonin and cortisol are directly involved with many signalling pathways and organ functioning in the human body. These chemicals are involved in nerve signalling processes and play an important part in controlling the sleep and wakening processes by stimulating different parts of the brain and inhibiting other parts of the brain to either promote sleep or keep a person awake. -
Song & Music in the Movement
Transcript: Song & Music in the Movement A Conversation with Candie Carawan, Charles Cobb, Bettie Mae Fikes, Worth Long, Charles Neblett, and Hollis Watkins, September 19 – 20, 2017. Tuesday, September 19, 2017 Song_2017.09.19_01TASCAM Charlie Cobb: [00:41] So the recorders are on and the levels are okay. Okay. This is a fairly simple process here and informal. What I want to get, as you all know, is conversation about music and the Movement. And what I'm going to do—I'm not giving elaborate introductions. I'm going to go around the table and name who's here for the record, for the recorded record. Beyond that, I will depend on each one of you in your first, in this first round of comments to introduce yourselves however you wish. To the extent that I feel it necessary, I will prod you if I feel you've left something out that I think is important, which is one of the prerogatives of the moderator. [Laughs] Other than that, it's pretty loose going around the table—and this will be the order in which we'll also speak—Chuck Neblett, Hollis Watkins, Worth Long, Candie Carawan, Bettie Mae Fikes. I could say things like, from Carbondale, Illinois and Mississippi and Worth Long: Atlanta. Cobb: Durham, North Carolina. Tennessee and Alabama, I'm not gonna do all of that. You all can give whatever geographical description of yourself within the context of discussing the music. What I do want in this first round is, since all of you are important voices in terms of music and culture in the Movement—to talk about how you made your way to the Freedom Singers and freedom singing. -
Narcolepsy Need-To-Know Guide
Narcolepsy Need-to-Know Guide For Employers Having narcolepsy does not necessarily stop someone from doing the job they want, but there are some issues which can affect work. Narcolepsy and its symptoms Narcolepsy is a neurological disorder, the effect of which is that the part of the brain that controls sleep and wakefulness does not function as it should. The messages about when to sleep and when to stay awake get mixed up. When you have narcolepsy, your brain moves between the stages of sleep at inappropriate times. These changes cannot be controlled and this results in a number of symptoms. The symptoms that are most likely to have an impact on working life are: Excessive daytime sleepiness A continual feeling of tiredness and an irresistible urge to fall asleep during the day. This may cause someone to fall asleep at inappropriate times and in unusual places. Even if not asleep, they may be very drowsy and preoccupied with trying to resist the urge to sleep. Cataplexy A sudden episode of muscle weakness, usually triggered by strong emotion, mainly laughter, anxiety and anger. These episodes can last a few seconds or minutes, and may involve the muscles of the face and neck and upper or lower limbs. The head may droop and speech may become slurred. More severe episodes may cause the person to drop things or become unsteady, which may result in them falling to their knees or to the ground. It is important to note that cataplexy does not involve a loss of consciousness; the person affected is fully aware of what is happening. -

Eating Behaviours and Attitudes in Narcolepsy and Their Association with Sleepiness and Mood
Eating Behaviours and Attitudes in Narcolepsy and their Association with Sleepiness and Mood Danielle Marie Gatti, BA (Psych. Hons) School of Psychology, Faculty of Arts, Education and Human Development, Victoria University Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Psychology (Clinical Psychology) (2012) Eating, Sleepiness and Mood in Narcolepsy ii Abstract A number of studies have found maladaptive eating behaviours and attitudes in individuals with narcolepsy, however, few studies have comprehensively investigated possible reasons (other than hypocretin deficiency) for these findings. The aim was to investigate the eating behaviours and attitudes of individuals with narcolepsy. The sample consisted of 73 individuals with narcolepsy and 74 controls. Measures used were the Bulimia Test, Depression Anxiety Stress Scale and Epworth Sleepiness Scale, a one day Food and Drink Intake Diary, a newly developed Meal and Snack Timing Questionnaire and an adapted Meal Choice Questionnaire and Snack and Drink Choice Questionnaire. Results showed that individuals with narcolepsy consumed significantly more snacks and drinks than controls. Controls were more concerned about the impact of snack and drink choice on their weight. Individuals with narcolepsy were more likely to binge eat than controls. Individuals with narcolepsy rated the importance of timing food intake with convenience of sleepiness more highly than controls. Individuals with narcolepsy had significantly higher levels of depression, anxiety and stress than controls. Individuals with narcolepsy with moderate to severe levels of anxiety and stress scored significantly higher on the binge factor than those with normal to mild levels of anxiety and stress. A hypothesis is developed suggesting that two opposing frameworks may be operating in narcolepsy, one of a purposeful eating behaviour and another of uncontrolled eating behaviour. -

Du er på vej til at forstå, hvor potentielt farlig disse tilstande kan være for dig. Mange studier over hele verden viser dette. Et nyligt studie i the International ”Sleep Health” Journal lavet af the Australian Sleep Health Foundation1) viste at 45% af alle voksne i Australien har søvnproblemer, som kan være medvirkende til at forringe deres generelle helbred og evnen til at fungere i en normal hverdag. Flere alvorlige medicinske sygdomme er forbundet med søvnapnø og dårlig søvn. Er du diagnosticeret med Obstruktiv Søvnapnø, er CPAP i Danmark og andre steder oftest førstevalget for behandling af sygdommen. Dette er på trods af, at rigtig mange der har fået udleveret CPAP, har store problemer med at bruge apparatet, mens en stor del af patienterne slet ikke bruger det. -
