▼ Sleep and circadian rhythm disruption (SCRD) is frequently found to co-occur in psychotic disorders. This can include a range of phenotypes such as insomnia, circadian delays, deficits in sleep spindles, and sleep-dependent cognitive impairments. However, increasing evidence suggests that psychosis occurs across a continuum of severity within the general population, yet few studies have investigated sleep and circadian rhythms prior to clinical diagnosis. Furthermore, SCRD and psychosis are posited to share underlying neuropathologies and although increasing evidence implicates shared genetic influence, little is known of the shared environmental risk. This thesis investigates sleep and circadian rhythms at multiple levels, from their occurrence in the general population, their disruption in high risk individuals, and a focus on sleep spindle oscillations in the brain. Firstly, the relationship between subjective measures of sleep and circadian rhythms, risk factors for psychosis, and psychotic-like experiences (PLEs) were studied in a large population sample. All three were highly related, with a subset of risk factors showing a strong association to both PLEs and SCRD. Secondly, sleep and circadian rhythms were assessed in individuals at high risk for developing psychosis based upon having a high load of risk factors and sub-clinical psychotic symptoms. High risk individuals showed subjective SCRD but this was not reflected in objective measures assessed by actigraphy and polysomnography. A subset of high risk individuals further showed substantially later melatonin rhythms compared to a low risk group. Thirdly, high and low risk individuals were assessed for measures of declarative and procedural sleep dependent memory consolidation. High risk individuals showed no evidence for sleep dependent cognitive impairment but did show a potential sensitivity in performance to the amount of sleep, not seen in low risk individuals. Finally, recordings in the somatosensory cortex (SCx) of mice were used as a model to explore the spatio-temporal dynamics and functional significance of sleep spindles. Distinct highly localised spindle events were discovered in the anterior SCx, with their complete absence just a fraction of a millimetre away, and their occurrence of which coincided with unique responses to global vigilance states. Together, this work pioneers research into sleep and circadian phenotypes associated with both sub-clinical psychotic symptoms and risk factors for disease and furthers our knowledge of particular sleep processes which could collectively help us to understand why SCRD and psychosis develop.

▼ The basic necessity of
sleep in our life is critically important to ensure our wellbeing. Sufficient
sleep of good quality is highly desired in order to have enough energy to live. One of the main factors to measure
sleep quality is the amount of body motion during
sleep. In-bed motion detection is an important technique that can enable an array of applications, among which are
sleep monitoring and abnormal movement detection. When detection is combined with classification, it can be used to detect, notify, and recognize specific events, enabling us to focus on critical tasks. In this study, we present a low-cost, low-overhead, and highly robust system for in-bed movement detection and classification that uses low-end load cells. By observing the forces sensed by the load cells, placed under each bed leg, we can detect many different types of movements, and further classify them as big or small depending on magnitude of the force changes on the load cells. We have designed three different features, which we refer to as Log-Peak, Energy-Peak, and ZeroX-Valley, that can effectively extract body movement signals from load cell data that is collected through wireless links in an energy-efficient manner. After establishing feature values, we employ a simple threshold-based algorithm to detect and classify movements. We have conducted a thorough evaluation, that involves collecting data from 30 subjects who perform 27 pre-defined movements in an experiment. By comparing our detection and classification results against the ground truth captured by a video camera, we show the Log-Peak strategy can detect these 27 types of movements at an error rate of 6.3% while classifying them as big or small movements at an error rate of 4.2%. In the second part of this dissertation, we set out to achieve much finer body motion classification. Towards this goal, we define 9 classes of movements, and design a machine learning algorithm using Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Random Forest techniques to classify a movement into one of these 9 classes. In this way, we can find out which body parts are involved in every movement. For every movement, we have extracted 24 features and used them in our model. This movement classification system was evaluated on data collected from 40 subjects who performed 35 predefined movements in each experiment. The accuracy of our model is not the same for all classes of movements. On average, it correctly classifies 90% of movements. This model can be used conveniently for long-term home monitoring. To improve the classification accuracy, we investigate more machine learning techniques. We use Random Forest and XGBoost as additional classification tools. We apply multiple tree topologies for each technique to reach their best results. After examining various combinations, we achieve the final classification accuracy of 91.5%. Lastly, another in-bed motion detection system is built. We use a geophone sensor to detect body motions in bed, which we call MotionPhone.…

▼ Self-report retrospective estimates of
sleep behaviors are not as accurate as prospective estimates from
sleep diaries, but are more practical for epidemiological studies. Therefore, it is important to evaluate the validity of retrospective measures and improve upon them. The current study compared
sleep diaries to two self-report retrospective measures of
sleep, the commonly used Pittsburgh
Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and a newly developed
sleep questionnaire (SQ), which assessed weekday and weekend
sleep separately. It was hypothesized that the new measure would be more accurate than the PSQI because it accounts for variability in
sleep throughout the week. The relative accuracy of the PSQI and SQ in obtaining estimates of total
sleep time (TST),
sleep efficiency (SE), and
sleep onset latency (SOL) was examined by comparing their mean differences from, and correlations with, estimates obtained by the
sleep diaries. Correlations of the PSQI and SQ with the
sleep diaries were moderate, with the SQ having significantly stronger correlations on the parameters of TST, SE, and
sleep quality ratings. The SQ also had significantly smaller mean differences from
sleep diaries on SOL and SE. The overall pattern of results indicated that the SQ performs better than the PSQI when compared to
sleep diaries.

▼ To detect REM and wake stages in
sleep, this study generates feature variables from the correlation of two-channel EOG signals and the amplitude of LEOG signal. By using the VQ method to quantize these signals into different codewords and by calculating the number of appearances of these codewords, we are able to establish a feature vector for every epoch of the recorded EOG signals. Via a three-stage process, the personalized classification accuracy for REM and wake
sleep stages are about 95% and 86%, respectively. By combining these personalized classifiers to perform REM and wake stages detection for other unseen individuals, the classification accuracy for REM and wake
sleep stages, the classification accuracy become 85% and 92%. However, the sensitivity for the wake stage detection is merely 52%.

A framework for sleep staging based on unobtrusive measurements.

▼ For diagnosis and research purposes, a person's
sleep should be objectively quantified. Traditionally,
sleep staging is performed by human experts via visual inspection of polysomnographic (PSG) data
measured during the
sleep period. There are several drawbacks to this golden standard: the data are
acquired in a rather obtrusive manner and not in the natural
sleep environment of the sleeper, hereby
affecting the
sleep. Furthermore, this manual scoring is time consuming and prone to human errors.
Automatic
sleep staging models exist but typically perform binary classifications, e.g.
sleep/wake,
REM/NREM or light/deep
sleep classification and on the whole use obtrusively obtained measurements.
In this research we aim to develop a framework for classifying
sleep stages from unobtrusive
measurements, being measurements during which the participant is not disturbed and no sensors are
attached. Our current implementation is presented that constructs 3- and 4-step hypnograms (containing
wake, REM and NREM in the 3-step hypnogram and wake, REM, light
sleep and deep
sleep in the 4-step
hypnogram) utilizing body movement and respiration rate biosignals obtained during
sleep.
This current implementation of the framework consists of three modules that each use a unique way of
interpreting one or more of these biosignals and a fusion process. The modules partly employ adapted
versions of existing models for
sleep stage classification and partly newly developed models, grounded in
sleep physiology. The modules classify epochs of a person's
sleep based on one or more biosignals and
relevant
subject parameters such as age and gender. The framework ensures that each epoch is classified
by at least two different modules. A specialized fusion process analyses the output from the different
modules, merges the output into a final hypnogram and calculates a confidence level for each epoch
classification.
To compare the
sleep stages as derived from the current implementation of the framework with the
golden standard, a secondary analysis on an existing data set of 23 participants is performed. The results
are promising and show potential: the three modules perform binary classifications with 90%, 85% and
72% agreement to the golden standard, the fusion process corrects 61% of the classifications on which
the modules disagree and fuses the binary classifications in definitive 3- and 4-step hypnograms. During
this process the overall agreement drops significantly because all erroneous classifications of the
modules are added up, but due to the correction of erroneous classifications by the fusion process these
hypnograms maintain 69% and 51% agreement with the golden standard, respectively.
This degree is expected to increase significantly when the existing modules are improved, additional
modules are added to allow the fusion process to correct more erroneous classifications and the
parameterization of the modules is done simultaneously.
Also, the framework contains various technical advancements not found in other contemporary
sleep…

▼ Historically, children were considered to rarely experience sleep problems and daytime sleepiness in middle childhood (5 – 12-years of age), however more recent findings indicate this may have changed. Psychosocial and environmental factors, such as technology use and bedtime routines, have been associated with reduced sleep quantity and/or quality. Links have also emerged between shorter sleep duration in children, and an increased risk of obesity in childhood and adulthood. Although a number of studies have investigated children’s sleep internationally, data are limited on both average sleep duration and the stability of sleep patterns of New Zealand children. This study aimed to collect normative data on the sleep of 6 – 8-year-olds, living in New Zealand, across both school and non-school nights, identify modifiable factors that impact on children’s sleep within the family environment, explore the relationship between children’s sleep and BMI, and pilot methods for potential future research. Actigraphy and diaries were used for seven consecutive days and nights, as well as a questionnaire incorporating the Children’s Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ), with 52 families living in the Wellington region. Stable objectively measured sleep patterns were identified, consistent with findings of Nixon et al. (2008). School night sleep duration was found to be, on average, longer than non-school night sleep, and parents tended to over-estimate their children’s sleep duration. Mean school night sleep duration was 9.9 hours (SD = 0.5) and non-school night sleep duration was 9.5 hours (SD = 0.7). No differences were identified between boys’ and girls’ sleep, and the 14% of children categorised as being overweight did not exhibit significantly different sleep patterns from the rest of the sample. Modifiable factors of technology and caffeine use were associated with differences in children’s sleep, as were non-modifiable familial factors of shiftworking adults living in the home, childcare duration and finishing times, and younger children in the household. Recommendations for future research include increasing the size and diversity of the sample, extending actigraphic recording to at least 10 consecutive days and nights to incorporate two weekends, using PSG with a sub-sample of children, and implementing a longitudinal study.

▼ Background. The consolidation of episodic memory is particularly vulnerable to fluctuations in glucocorticoid levels, both during wakefulness and during
sleep. Corticosteroid exposure is associated with changes in endogenous glucocorticoid activity,
sleep disruption, episodic memory impairment, and reduced hippocampal volume. This dissertation had two primary aims. The first was to explore the relationship between corticosteroid exposure and
sleep-dependent memory processes, including dreaming, with special focus on associations between corticosteroid exposure and (a) night-time glucocorticoid activity and (b)
sleep organization. The second was to explore the neuroanatomical foundation for these relationships in young adults with asthma. To achieve these aims, I conducted three studies. Methods. Study 1 (N = 68) used a cross-sectional, matched-sample, quasiexperimental design to compare night-time salivary cortisol levels, memory performance preand post-
sleep,
sleep organization (measured using polysomnography), and dreaming in groups of asthmatics and non-asthmatics with varying degrees of corticosteroid exposure. Study 2 (N = 23) used a double-blind, randomized placebo-control true experimental design to test, in healthy young adults, the effects of a single 25 mg dose of prednisone on the same outcome measures. Study 3 (N = 19) used a quasi-experimental design to compare hippocampal volume of moderate-to-high corticosteroid-exposed asthmatics with that of matched healthy controls. That study also examined the relationship between (a) night-time cortisol levels and hippocampal volume, (b) night-time cortisol levels and declarative memory performance, (c) hippocampal volume and declarative memory performance. All participants were English-speaking university students, aged 18-39 years. Results. Studies 1 and 2 showed that, relative to healthy controls, night-time glucocorticoid activity was elevated and
sleep organization was disrupted in corticosteroidexposed individuals. Furthermore, there were significant inverse associations between glucocorticoid activity and (a) the organization of slow wave
sleep (SWS) and rapid-eye movement (REM)
sleep, (b) performance on both declarative and procedural memory tasks, and (c) the episodic memory content of dreams. There were significant positive associations between (a) the proportions and the organization of SWS and REM
sleep and performance on measures of both declarative and procedural memory, and (b) the organization of REM
sleep and the episodic content of dreams. Study 3 data analyses detected significantly smaller hippocampal volume in asthmatics relative to controls. Severity of asthma was inversely related to left hippocampal volume, but corticosteroid exposure alone was not. Furthermore, a smaller hippocampus was associated with better memory performance among healthy controls, but not among asthmatics. Conclusions. The association between the organization of SWS and REM
sleep and performance on measures of both declarative and procedural memory lends support to the…

▼ Objective: To investigate the association of sleep
duration with cognitive function in adults.
Methods and Results:
Relevant studies were searched through PubMed, ScienceDirect and
Google Scholar using keywords of ((“cognitive” OR “cognition” OR
“memory impairment”) AND (“sleep duration” OR “sleep hours” OR
“sleep time”)). Studies on the association of sleep duration with
cognitive function as measured by various cognitive assessment
tools in adults aged 18+ years were included. The initiate search
generates 415 articles, after excluding studies that were
duplicates, not published in English journals and not conducted in
adults, giving 10 to be included in this systematic review. These
studies were conducted in 6 countries (US, China, France, Spain,
England, and Finland) and most of them were cross-sectional studies
(7 cross-sectional studies and 3 prospective studies). Most of the
studies showed that participants with either long sleep duration (≥
9 h per day) or short sleep duration (≤ 6 h per day) had higher
risks of cognitive impairment than participants with sleep hours of
about 7 hour per day. One study showed that short, but not long
sleep duration was associated with poor cognitive function while
four studies showed that only long sleep duration was associated
with poor cognitive function. Some sleep-related factors such as
sleep disorder breathing, excessive daytime sleepiness, sleep
quality and sleep cycle may partly explain the association of sleep
duration with cognitive functions.
Conclusion: Most of the
earlier studies consistently showed that both long (≥ 9 h per day)
and short (≤ 6 h per day) sleep duration were associated with poor
cognitive function. These findings provide evidence support for
further intervention studies to examine the potential beneficial
effect of normalizing sleep duration in preventing cognitive
decline.

▼ The present study has both theoretical and practical aspects. The theoretical intent
of the study was to closely examine the relationship between muscle activity (EMG) and
EEG state during the process of falling asleep. Sleep stages during sleep onset (SO) have
been generally defined with regards to brain wave activity (Recht schaff en & Kales
(1968); and more precisely by Hori, Hayashi, & Morikawa (1994)). However, no
previous study has attempted to quantify the changes in muscle activity during this same
process.
The practical aspect of the study examined the reliability ofa commercially
developed wrist-worn alerting device (NovAlert™) that utilizes changes in muscle
activity/tension in order to alert its user in the event that he/she experiences reduced
wakefulness that may result in dangerous consequences.
Twelve female participants (aged 18-42) sp-ent three consecutive nights in the
sleep lab ("Adaptation", "EMG", and "NOVA" nights). Each night participants were
given 5, twenty-minute nap opportunities. On the EMG night, participants were allowed
to fall asleep freely. On the NOV A night, participants wore the Nov Alert™ wrist device
that administered a Psychomotor Vigilance Test (PVT) when it detected that muscle
activity levels had dropped below baseline.
Nap sessions were scored using Hori's 9-stage scoring system (Hori et aI, 1994).
Power spectral analyses (FFT) were also performed. Effects ofthe PVT administration on
EMG and EEG frequencies were also examined.
Both chin and wrist EMG activity showed reliable and significant decline during
the early stages ofHori staging (stages HO to H3 characterized by decreases in alpha activity). All frequency bands studied went through significant changes as the
participants progressed through each ofHori's 9 SO stages. Delta, theta, and sigma
activity increased later in the SO continuum while a clear alpha dominance shift was
noted as alpha activity shifted from the posterior regions of the brain (during Hori stages
HO to H3) to the anterior portions (during Hori stages H7 to H9). Administration of the
PVT produced significant increases in EMG activity and was effective in reversing
subjective drowsiness experienced during the later stages of sleep onset. Limitations of
the alerting effects of the PVTs were evident following 60 to 75 minutes of use in that
PVTs delivered afterwards were no longer able to significantly increase EMG levels.
The present study provides a clearer picture of the changes in EMG and EEG
during the sleep onset period while testing the efficacy of a commercially developed
alerting device. EMG decreases were found to begin during Hori stage 0 when EEG was
-
dominated by alpha wave activity and were maximal as Hori stages 2 to 5 were traversed
(coincident with alpha and beta activity). This signifies that EMG decrements and the
loss of resting alpha activity are closely related. Since decreased alpha has long been
associated with drowsiness and impending sleep, this investigation links drops in muscle
tone…

▼ Sleep is critical for recovery from stress, optimal
learning, and viability. However, many genetic pathways involved in
sleep regulation are poorly defined. The nematode Caenorhabditis
elegans is an ideal model system to investigate mechanisms of
sleep
regulation. Previous studies in C. elegans identified the Notch and
JNK-1 signaling pathways, which both contribute to stress
tolerance, as important regulators of
sleep. Reduced Notch or JNK-1
signaling results in poor quality
sleep with low arousal thresholds
and increased quantity of
sleep. We hypothesized that the increased
sleep caused by reduced Notch or JNK-1 signaling was due to
homeostatic compensation because of poor quality
sleep. To test
this hypothesis, we introduced loss-of-function mutations in
DAF-16, a FOXO transcription factor known to control
sleep
homeostasis, into strains with reduced Notch or JNK-1 signaling. We
found that mutation of DAF-16 abrogated increased
sleep, even
though double mutant animals still had poor quality
sleep.
Therefore, increased compensatory
sleep in these animals requires a
DAF-16-dependent homeostatic response, but arousal threshold
changes do not. We also determined that
sleep deprivation is lethal
only when combined with the stress of mechanical stimulation.
Together, these results confirm that Notch and JNK-1 are required
for normal
sleep depth and that DAF-16 is a key component of C.
elegans stress response that regulates compensatory
sleep.

▼ Since studies have revealed sleeping quality is highly related to our health conditions,
sleep-medicine has attracted more and more attention in recent years.
Sleep staging is one of the most important elements of
sleep-medicine. Traditionally, itâs done by observing the information form of EEG, EOG and EMG signals. But this is almost not possible to achieve at home.
Automatic detection of REM
sleep is the main goal of this study. Via comparing the classification performances of different combinations of EEG, EOG and EMG signals, this study also tries to simplify the number of signal channels. By using features extracted from EEG, EOG and EMG signals, the back-propagation neural networks are used to distinguish REM and NREM
sleep. By refining the outputs of the neural networks, this study extensively test the efficacy of the proposed approach by using databases from two different
sleep centers. This work also investigates the influences of the number of signal channels, REM
sleep ratio, AHI, and age on classification results.
Data acquired from the
sleep centers of China Medical University Hospital (CMUH) and Sheng-Mei Hospital are arranged in ten different groups. For our largest datasets, which consists of 1318 subjects from CMUH, the results show that the proposed method achieves 95.5% epoch-to-epoch agreement with Cohen's Kappa 0.833, sensitivity 85.9% and specificity 97.3%. The generalization accuracy is 94.1% with Cohen's Kappa 0.782, sensitivity 78.5% and specificity 97.3%.

▼ Ph.D. University of Hawaii at Manoa 2013.
Objective: To determine if there is a relationship between the administration of the dietary supplement containing 5-Aminolevulinic Acid (5-ALA) and sleep.
Methods: A double-blind, randomized parallel-group study was conducted. It was a 4 month study of 40 participants between the ages of 40 and 70. Males and females were recruited equally. There were 20 in each group who had existing sleep disorders, excluding sleep apnea and Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS). The tools used to measure participant sleep improvement included: the Body Mass Index (BMI-a measure of body fat based on height and weight), a daily diary and the Pittsburgh Insomnia Rating Scale – 20 Question (PIRS-20). The PIRS-20 design suggests improved sleep when the total score is lower.
Results: Improvement in sleep in the group taking 50 mg 5-ALA, compared to controls, was significant. The mean change, from baseline through week 6, was-5.67 units less on the sleep scale than the control group with a p value of .001.
The mean change from week 6 to week 10 when the participant was no longer taking the supplement was 4.55 units higher than the control with a p value of .062, which is of borderline significance.
Conclusion: There appears to be a relationship between the administration of dietary supplements containing 5-ALA and sleep. The results of this study suggest that 5-ALA does in fact improve sleep. The mechanism for sleep improvement needs to be explored.

▼ Despite great strides that have been made over the past several decades in terms of diagnosis and treatment, breast cancer remains the most commonly diagnosed cancer in American women and the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality for women in the United States. Although the benefits of early detection of breast cancer have been clearly established, the advantages of screening must also be weighed against a potential corresponding negative psychological impact of screening procedures. The purpose of the present study was to further investigate the impact of breast cancer screening on previously unstudied or understudied aspects of psychological and physiological health, including
sleep quality, negative and positive affect, and biomarkers of immune system response and to explore between-group differences in these markers based on diagnostic status over the course of time between surgical consult and diagnosis following breast biopsy. Results indicated substantially impaired
sleep quality as well as elevations in negative affect across the study sample. Higher levels of a biological marker of inflammation were shown to be associated with poorer
sleep quality. Positive and negative affect were also associated in the study sample, which is thought to be indicative of a high level of emotional activation during breast cancer screening and diagnosis. Counter to study hypotheses, results indicated neither improvements in
sleep quality or affect nor decreased levels of serum cytokines were noted in women who received a benign diagnosis. Conversely, results for several scales indicated improved
sleep quality for women diagnosed with breast cancer relative to women who received a benign diagnosis, providing support for the argument that it is the experience of uncertainty that leads to the acute psychological distress consistently shown in women undergoing breast cancer screening and breast biopsy.

Sleep/wake patterns and sleep problems in South Australian children aged 5-10 years: biopsychosocial determinants and effects on behaviour.

▼ In 1913, Lewis Terman and his colleague, Adeline Hocking published a paper asking a seemingly simple question “But exactly how much
sleep is required by this developing organism (child) for its healthy functioning and growth?” (Bracketed italics added). Almost 100 years later, this question remains largely unanswered. Whilst it is well acknowledged that
sleep duration decreases as a child ages, changing
sleep practices are determined not only by biological processes, but also by cultural and social influences. Few studies to date have adequately addressed this. It is also well acknowledged that
sleep problems in childhood are common, yet research is limited due to lack of standard methodological protocols. Accurate knowledge of poor
sleep/wake habits and prevalence of
sleep problems may be vital to ensuring the behavioural well-being of many children.
The following thesis presents the results of the South Australian Paediatric
Sleep Survey (SAPSS); a study designed to address the above limitations and examine
sleep/wake patterns,
sleep problems and behavioural associates in a large community sample of school-aged children in Australia. Using a combination of previous tools and author devised items, a
sleep, health and behaviour questionnaire was developed and subjected to rigourous psychometric testing. Exploratory factor analysis revealed six robust factors:
Sleep Routine, Bedtime Anxiety, Morning Tiredness, Night Arousals,
Sleep Disordered Breathing, and Restless
Sleep. These sub-scales demonstrated good internal reliability, face validity, and test-retest reliability at 6, 12 and 18 m The SAPSS questionnaire was distributed to parents of children through schools and provides the first indication of normative
sleep/wake patterns in a representative sample of school-aged children in Australia (N=1904; mean age 7.7±1.7yrs). The results of this study add to the discussion that the process of
sleep is embedded in cultural and social norms, with differences reported between Non-Caucasian and Caucasian children, as well as between weekend and school nights. These results also confirm the postulation that
sleep and behaviour are inextricably linked. Bedtime anxiety, restless
sleep, night arousals, bruxism, hyperhydrosis and sleepwalking were all associated with behavioural deficits, either independently or comorbidly.
Moreover, the SAPSS adds considerably to the current state of knowledge by revealing a regular
sleep routine, in otherwise healthy children, has the strongest effect on daytime functioning. In addition to the traditional indicators of
sleep/wake patterns, the current study examined
sleep schedules, in particular the consistency of bedtimes, risetimes and
sleep duration. More children reported poor
sleep schedules than traditional indicators of poor
sleep habits and a change in bedtimes greater than 2 hours across the week or a poor
sleep routine resulted in up to four times the risk of reported behavioural problems.
The current paradigm regarding
sleep in children is that ‘one size fits all’, however…

▼ The Ontario Ministry of Education’s guidelines for full-day kindergarten do not specifically mention naptime (Ontario Ministry of Education, 2010). This study sought to address the issue of naptime in full-day kindergarten. Focus groups and interviews were conducted to understand the perspectives of eighteen parent and teacher participants. Seven of the participants were kindergarten teachers, nine were parents. Two participants qualified to be both teacher and parent.
The main findings from this study demonstrated that parents and teachers considered the following to be advantages of naptime: (1) a nap allows a break that enables students to focus on afternoon learning, (2) a nap allows the behaviour of children to improve (3) some children are young and require a nap, (4) teachers use naptime to complete preparation for the next lesson, and (5) since school is a long day for children, a nap is required to ensure students will remain awake in the afternoon. The disadvantages of kindergarten naptime were identified as: (1) an afternoon nap is not useful for all students, (2) it takes away from time devoted to academics, (3) it negatively affects bedtimes and, (4) managing naptime is problematic. Additionally, more appealing alternatives to a naptime session were suggested: (1) Down Time which refers to activities that are quiet without any expectation that children will sleep, (2) Rest Time which includes an option to sleep or participate in quiet, individual activities, and (3) Quiet Time which is a period of time dedicated to quiet, individual activities without any intention of sleeping. It was suggested that only Junior Kindergarten students need a chance to nap, since it will help them focus in the afternoon. A synthesis of my findings suggests that a 30-minute rest time could be incorporated in the full-day Junior Kindergarten, but not Senior Kindergarten, program at the midday point.

▼ The research presented here addresses topical and critical questions regarding the role of sleep as a facilitator of brain maturation and cognitive outcomes and examines how the topography and microstructure (i.e. sleep spindles and slow waves) of infant sleep brain rhythms may support these developmental processes. Although extensive research has been conducted on sleep in animal models, in adults and in premature neonates, very little is known about the neurophysiology of sleep in healthy human infants. Current research suggests that alterations in sleep pattern or duration play a role in almost all known mental disorders and furthermore, that virtually all of these disorders are rooted in a miswiring of the brain during development. Therefore, it is understandable that variability in sleep patterns has gained attention as a possible early biomarker for a number of neurodevelopmental disorders. Identification of reliable biomarkers could lead to targeted diagnostic tools that would be useful in diagnosing a number of developmental disorders. This dissertation is a first step toward a more comprehensive understanding of sleep microstructure (e.g. sleep spindles and slow waves), which is hypothesized to play a critical role in infant brain maturation. We have examined infant daytime sleep (non-rapid-eye-movement, NREM) in a rarely studied age group (3.5 and 6.5 months), using advanced dense-array electroencephalographic recording (dEEG) and analytic techniques seldom used in sleep studies, in combination with concurrent standardized assessments of cognition, language, and motor skill development. In this thesis, we have characterized spectral power and frequency changes of brain activity across the frequency spectrum (0.25-35Hz), in both a cross-sectional and a longitudinal group. From these analyses, we demonstrate that both maturational and trait-like aspects of regional NREM sleep oscillations are present in our sample of typically developing infants. Further, at 6.5 months-of-age, sleep spindle topography is sexually dimorphic, correlated with language measures, and functionally left-lateralized. In both the cross-sectional and longitudinal groups, and in both age ranges, there are significant positive and negative correlations of spectral power at different frequencies with differing behavioral measures. We anticipate that the outcomes of this ongoing study will accelerate our understanding of infant brain development across the first year of life, delineating the emergence, function and maturation of changing oscillatory sleep patterns, while simultaneously facilitating future translational approaches (e.g. interventional strategies for slow wave and spindle enhancement) targeting developmental sleep as it relates to the prevention of neuropsychiatric disorders.

▼ The alternation between waking and sleep is regulated by the internal circadian clock and sleep-wake history, and is also influenced by the external environment. Although our understanding of the circadian aspect of sleep regulation has increased, the mechanisms underlying sleep homeostasis are still largely unknown. Independent of the circadian clock, only a limited number of genes have been associated with specific sleep-wake properties. Forward genetics provides an unbiased approach, which seeks to identify genes involved in specific biological processes. This project has focused on the Sleepy6 mouse line which was obtained via a forward genetics sleep screen. This model has a mutation in synaptobrevin 2, which results in a decreased sleep duration. We aimed to further characterise the sleep phenotype of this line, at a molecular and behavioural level, to gain novel insights into the regulation of sleep. Using molecular techniques to evaluate neurotransmitter levels and gene expression, we found no significant differences in the neurotransmitter pathways investigated. Behavioural assays highlighted hyperactivity, with a mild learning deficit. Electrophysiology recordings from the motor (M1) and visual (V1) cortical areas revealed that Sleepy6 homozygous mice have reduced amounts of rapid-eye movement sleep (REMS) and a strong decrease in the amplitude of electroencephalography (EEG) and local field potential (LFP) signals, especially during non-REMS when traces are reminiscent of the burst suppression patterns often observed during anaesthesia, rather than natural sleep. At a local level, neuronal firing in Sleepy6 homozygotes ceased for seconds at a time during non-REMS, coinciding with very low-amplitude EEG and LFP traces. Sleepy6 homozygous mice also displayed a longer latency to switch between vigilance states. Finally, the successful adaption of an elaborated version of the "two-process" model of sleep regulation to recordings performed in mice suggests that sleep pressure decreases at a slower rate in Sleepy6 homozygotes. This result should be interpreted in light of the above findings, as the model relies on power in the slow-wave (0.5-4 Hz) range during non-REMS, which is affected by the very low-amplitude oscillations observed in this state in Sleepy6 homozygotes. This combination of in vivo and computational work using the Sleepy6 line provides new insights into the mechanisms that underlie sleep architecture and the alternation between vigilance states. It also has the potential to further our understanding of the mechanisms underpinning the generation of slow-waves and anaesthesia.

▼ Poor
sleep measured across many dimensions has been linked to adverse physical and mental health outcomes including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, increased mortality, depression, and anxiety. Current research typically relies upon brief, subjective, inadequately validated methods to assess limited dimensions of
sleep, resulting in inaccurate measurements and possibly faulty conclusions. Specifically, research validating objective (e.g., actigraphy) and subjective (e.g.,
sleep diaries, retrospective surveys) measurement methods against the gold standard of polysomnography (PSG, an overnight
sleep study) is primarily limited by a) a lack of reliability based on too short (e.g., 24 or 48 hours) of an assessment period to capture night-to-night variability, b) a lack of ecological validity (e.g., full PSG in a laboratory setting), and c) a lack of generalizability due to limited or special populations (e.g., individuals with insomnia). Barriers such as prohibitive cost, extensive setup time, and personnel training requirements diminish the ability of researchers to conduct measurement comparison studies using gold standard measures like traditional PSG. These barriers can be circumvented with the use of low-cost, minimally invasive single-channel EEG devices (e.g., Zmachine), but to date few studies have employed these devices. The current study evaluated the accuracy of retrospective surveys,
sleep diaries, and actigraphy compared to a single-channel EEG device for assessment of
sleep timing, duration, and efficiency in participants' homes over one week using a broad community sample (N = 80). Actigraphy generally demonstrated the best agreement with Zmachine across
sleep variables, followed by diary and then survey. Circadian midpoint was the most consistent across measures, followed by
sleep duration and then
sleep efficiency. Implications and future directions are discussed.

▼ Aims and Significance: The prevalence of dementia is rapidly increasing worldwide due to an aging population.
Sleep disorders are a common characteristic of dementia, and pose a significant threat to the quality of life of persons with the condition and their families. This study compared the
sleep quantity and quality between active and inactive persons with dementia.
Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design. Telephone questionnaires were administered to 40 caregivers of a person with dementia. The caregivers answered the questions as proxies on behalf of their care recipient.
Results: Active persons with dementia experienced significantly better
sleep quantity than their inactive counterparts (P=.000). Furthermore, the active group obtained significantly better overall
sleep quality scores (P=.003). Specifically,
sleep onset latency (P=.021) as well as daytime napping (P=.000) and drowsiness (P=.015) were significantly correlated with activity level.
Conclusion: The preliminary evidence from this study suggests that physical activity may be an important method of improving
sleep in this population. This study will aid in the promotion of safe and effective ways for managing aspects of dementia that impact quality of life and encourage future research in this area.

▼ Ph.D. University of Hawaii at Manoa 2010.
Introduction: Cortical arousals (CA) are a transient part of the sleep-wake system that may play an important role in characterizing sleep fragmentation and disorders, such as obstructive sleep apnea. The American Association of Sleep Medicine (AASM) (1992) rules describe electroencephaolgram (EEG) frequency ranges, as well as electromyogram (EMG) signal morphology to identify CA; however, because of a lack of reliability in arousal detection, even among well-trained human scorers employing the AASM rules, CA has had limited efficacy in describing healthy sleep and/or in diagnosing sleep pathology. The purpose of this study is to increase the reliability of CA detection utilizing Power Spectrum Density (PSD). The exact frequency bands needed for CA detection for each sleep stage will be identified. It will be tested whether or not, the submental activity is necessary in slow wave sleep (SWS) to increase the reliability of CA detection. Methods: Previously recorded 30-second EEG sleep epochs from healthy adult subjects (N = 99) were examined in this study. The average and standard deviation of the relative powers of all frequency bands (Delta, Theta, Alpha, Sigma, Beta1, Beta2, and Gamma) were computed for all epochs and sorted by sleep stages. Using EEG activity, the relative power of specific frequency bands was compared to the average plus a multiple of the standard deviation for the purpose of detecting CA in each sleep epoch. EMG activity was also included for all sleep stages. The average and standard deviation of the relative amplitudes were then computed for all epochs and sorted by sleep stages. For each sleep stage, CA detection was achieved by comparing the standard deviation of the amplitudes to a multiple of the averages of the standard deviations. This experimental scoring technique was then compared with EEG epoch data scored by the Sleep Heart Center Study (SHHS) sleep scientists. An estimate of reliability was obtained using the Cohen kappa, sensitivity, and specificity measures. Results: Optimum CA detection entailed using a combination of different explicit frequency ranges for different respective stages. Based on the reliability calculated from the Cohen kappa, the optimum frequency bands for stage1 were: Beta1 (16-24 Hz), stage2: Beta1 (16-24 Hz), stage3: Beta1 and Gamma (24-48 Hz), stage4: Beta1 and Gamma (24-48 Hz), and stage REM: Delta, Alpha, Beta1, and Gamma (0-4, 8-12, 16-24 and 32-48 Hz). It was also found that the use of EMG for NREM sleep stages increased the sensibility. The corresponding statistical measures for all sleep stages were: Sleep Stage Cohen kappa Sensitivity Specificity Stage1 0.16±0.025 63±3% 56±2% Stage2 0.35±0.025 61±3% 81±1% Stage3 0.48±0.050 60±5% 96±1% Stage4 0.73±0.170 73±15% 98±2% Stage REM 0.48±0.030 58±3% 93±1% Conclusion: Careful consideration of the frequency band is necessary in order to increase the reliability of the detection of CA in EEG. Submental activity was also found to increase the reliability of CA…

▼ Many aspects of human respiration are known to change from wakefulness to
NREM sleep, including the level of ventilation, and the responsiveness to chemical
respiratory stimuli. The differences in ventilation between wakefulness and sleep are due
to a number of factors, one of which has been hypothesised to be the cessation of a
wakefulness drive to respiration. Such an hypothesis would link the stimulation of
respiration to the activity within the ascending reticular activating system, activity which
varies greatly during the period of sleep onset, and which is responsible for the changes
in activity seen at the cerebral cortex. The hypothesis allows the prediction that cessation
of the wakefulness drive would occur rapidly and with a consistent relationship to EEG
changes during the sleep onset period.
The present literature lacks an accurate description of the relationship between
changes in ventilation and alterations in cortical arousal as measured by the EEG. This
thesis reports three experiments designed to investigate ventilation during sleep onset and
to provide such a description, in both males and females. An assessment is also made of
the extent to which respiratory data collected over the sleep onset period is influenced by
the measurement devices used.
In the first study, sleep onsets were studied in five young male adults in a series of
single subject designs in which sleep onsets were replications. The results indicated that
during sleep onset, the commencement of continuous theta activity in the EEG was
associated with a substantial, rapid and highly predictable reduction in ventilation. The
change in ventilation was typically due to a reduction in tidal volume, and was in part
secondary to a reduction in metabolic rate. It was speculated that the non-metabolic
component may reflect the loss of a wakefulness drive to respiration, though other
interpretations were not eliminated. Sex differences exist in the incidence of sleep related respiratory dysfunction. In
addition, there is uncertainty as to whether females show sleep related decreases in the
responsiveness to chemical stimuli. This uncertainty has often been explained in terms of
different subjects being in different cycles of the menstrual cycle when investigated.
These data led to doubt as to whether females possess a wakefulness drive to respiration
and, if so, whether it is affected by progesterone levels.
The second experiment sought to investigate ventilation during sleep onset in normal
young females, during both phases of the menstrual cycle. Sleep onsets were studied in
five subjects in a series of single subject designs. The results obtained supported those
of the male subjects. That is, decreases in ventilation were associated with the onset of
theta activity in the EEG. Further, no menstrual phase differences existed in the
magnitude of the ventilation decrease or in its timing relative to EEG variations. Thus,
females demonstrated the same pattern of ventilation change as males, indicating that

▼ Sleeping difficulties have a negative influence on cognitive functioning and behavioral problems, in both children and adults (Alhola & Polo-Kantola, 2007; Astill et al., 2012). Studies have revealed that temperament might be a predictor of
sleep disturbances in children. The aim of the current study was to examine the association between different temperament traits and
sleep disturbances,
sleep onset latency,
sleep duration and subjective
sleep quality in children. Participants were 113 children, aged 9 – 11 years (M = 10.47 years; SD = .72). Parents kept track of a
sleep diary and both parents and children completed several questionnaires, regarding
sleep and temperament. Significant associations were found between the different
sleep disturbances and effortful control, high intensity pleasure/surgency, frustration, affiliation, and fear.
Sleep duration was related to affiliation and fear. Subjective
sleep quality was associated with affiliation and shyness. The current study provides evidence for the association between and
sleep and temperament.

▼ Sleep problems in children are common and can affect their health. This study examined whether
sleep duration mediates the association between
sleep problems and behavioral problems in children from nine to eleven years. The study consisted of a research among a group of 482 children, 220 boys and 260 girls (two unknown). The mean age of the children was 10.5 years (SD = 0.83). Their parents were asked to fill out the
Sleep Disturbance Scale for Children (SDSC) and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ), which were used to measure
sleep disturbances and internalizing and externalizing behavioral problems of the children respectively. In addition, parents kept an online
sleep diary for a week to collect information about the
sleep duration of the child. Regression analyses showed a significant association between
sleep problems and both internalizing (β = .24) and externalizing behavioral problems (β = .26), as well as a significant negative association between
sleep problems and
sleep duration (β = -.21).
Sleep duration and - both internalizing and externalizing - behavioral problems were not significantly related. The results therefore suggest that
sleep duration did not mediate the association between
sleep problems and behavioral problems. The overall findings highlight the importance that parents should be aware of
sleep problems underlying the behavioral problems of their child. Besides,
sleep problems may serve as a warning for a higher risk of developing behavior problems. The findings of this study may be useful in interventions to treat, control or prevent
sleep and behavioral problems. It should however be noted that other factors could influence the association between
sleep problems and behavioral problems and more research is needed to further explore this association.

▼ Recent dose-response sleep restriction studies, in which nightly sleep is curtailed to varying
degrees (e.g., 3-, 5-, 7-hours), have found cumulative, dose-dependent changes in sleepiness,
mood, and reaction time. However, brain activity has typically not been measured, and attentionbased
tests employed tend to be simple (e.g., reaction time). One task addressing the behavioural
and electrophysiological aspects of a specific attention mechanism is the Attentional Blink (AB),
which shows that the report accuracy of a second target (T2) is impaired when it is presented
soon after a first target (Tl). The aim of the present study was to examine behavioural and
electrophysioiogical responses to the AB task to elucidate how sleep restriction impacts
attentional capacity. Thirty-six young-adults spent four consecutive days and nights in a sleep
laboratory where sleep, food, and activity were controlled. Nightly sleep began with a baseline
sleep (8 hours), followed by two nights of sleep restriction (3,5 or 8 hours of sleep), and a
recovery sleep (8 hours). An AB task was administered each day at 11 am. Results from a basic
battery oftests (e.g., sleepiness, mood, reaction time) confirmed the effectiveness of the sleep
restriction manipulation. In terms of the AB, baseline performance was typical (Le., T2 accuracy
impaired when presented soon after Tl); however, no changes in any AB behavioural measures
were observed following sleep restriction for the 3- or 5-hour groups. The only statistically
significant electrophysiological result was a decrease in P300 amplitude (for Tl) from baseline
to the second sleep restriction night for the 3-hour group. Therefore, following a brief, two night
sleep restriction paradigm, brain functioning was impaired for the TI of the AB in the absence of
behavioural deficit. Study limitations and future directions are discussed.

▼ Currently,
sleep staging is accomplished is by clinical polysomnography (PSG). By extracting features from different combinations of electroencephalogram (EEG), electrooculogram (EOG) and electromyogram (EMG) signals, this study uses neural network to perform
sleep staging.
A whole night and complete
sleep stage contains wake stage, rapid eye movement (REM) stage, stage 1, stage 2, and slow wave
sleep (SWS) stage. This project focuses on the classification of wake stage and light-
sleep (stage 1 and 2). These three stages are classified by a two-step process. At first, wake stage and light-
sleep are divided into two parts. Second, light
sleep is divided into stage 1 and stage 2. For a fixed number of channels, this work identifies the best combination of signal channels. In addition, by simultaneously considering the Neighboring epochs Rule classifier, this work also introduces an empirical rule to improve the classification accuracy.
Among the tested databases which contain two Medicine center and sixteen sets of different signal channels, the best results are obtained from the group of patients with the low average RDI value. They include the group that has a mean 15% SWS and the group that uses CPAP. As a whole, the combinative features of four channels are better results of classification. For our best results, the sensitivity and PPV of wake and stage 2 varies from 85%~88%, and those of stage 1 are respective 44.84% and 53.61%. And the total classification of
sleep staging is 84.59%. Apparently, the research has satisfactory results on
sleep staging.

The effect of treatment of sleep disorders on symptom severity in children with ADHD: a selective review.

▼ Background: ADHD is a disorder with a high comorbidity rate and one of the frequent co-occuring disorders are
sleep disorders.
Sleep deprived children show a range of problem behaviors including inattentive and hyperactive behavior. Since these behaviors are very similar to core ADHD symptoms,
sleep problems might aggravate ADHD symptomatology or mimic ADHD symptoms, thus leading to misdiagnosis. This suggests that treating
sleep disorders in children with ADHD might reduce ADHD symptom severity.
Objective: to investigate whether treatment of
sleep disorders (
sleep-onset insomnia, restless legs syndrome or
sleep disordered breathing) in children with ADHD reduces ADHD symptom severity.
Methods: PubMed was searched using descriptions of
sleep disorders or specific
sleep disorders (i.e.
sleep disorder,
sleep disturbance,
sleep problems,
sleep-onset insomnia, restless legs syndrome,
sleep disordered breathing, obstructive
sleep apnea) and ADHD (i.e. attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, hyperactivity). Furthermore, references of found articles were checked for more relevant papers.
Results: there seems to be some evidence suggesting that the treatment of
sleep disorders in children with ADHD reduces ADHD symptom severity.
Conclusion: regarding all three
sleep disorders investigated, studies using longer baseline to follow-up designs seem to show more promising results. This suggests that ADHD symptoms do not suddenly appear after short periods of
sleep deprivation and suddenly disappear after short periods of normal
sleep, but that ADHD symptoms grow over a longer period of
sleep deprivation in children and therefore also disappear gradually over a longer period of normal
sleep, regardless of what is causing the
sleep deprivation. However, larger, double-blind placebo-controlled studies with a longer baseline to follow-up design should be carried out to generate more robust and unbiased findings. Designs for two such studies are proposed.

▼ A plethora of research has confirmed that critically ill patients in the intensive care units are experiencing profound fragmented non-consolidated
sleep that is interfering with their ability to recover from illnesses and restore their sense of well being (Kamdar et al., 2012). On the contrary, screening, evaluation, and improvement of
sleep quality are at suboptimal level in the intensive care units (Mathew, 2011). A systematic review of research was conducted to identify the multiple facets of
sleep disturbances and evidence-based innovative
sleep promotion strategies to ameliorate the detrimental physiopsychological sequelae of
sleep fragmentation for this vulnerable population.

▼ Cardioventilatory coupling is the temporal alignment between inspiratory onset and preceding heart beat, and is a determinant of ventilatory timing. Although investigated in anaesthetised and resting individuals, as well as animals, few studies have examined cardioventilatory coupling during
sleep. This thesis aimed to further work in this area by investigating the cardioventilatory coupling during
sleep.
In the first study, 30 healthy individuals (14 male; 16 female) aged 18-35 years and nine healthy individuals (4 male; 5 female) aged 60-75 years underwent a level II polysomnographic study in their own home. Cardioventilatory coupling was observed to some degree in all healthy individuals. In young adults, strength of coupling (χ2(3) = 12.71, p = 0.005) and the proportion of the night spent coupling (χ2(3) = 9.80, p = 0.02) differed significantly between wakefulness, light
sleep, slow wave
sleep (SWS) and REM
sleep. Post hoc analyses indicated that coupling strength and the proportion of the night spent coupling during light
sleep and slow wave
sleep, was significantly different to that during wakefulness. Decreased strength of cardioventilatory coupling was observed with increasing time post
sleep onset (Spearman, r = 0.20, p = 0.003). Cardioventilatory coupling did not differ between the young and older age groups, or with gender.
In the second study, 14 (6 male; 8 female) of these individuals aged 18-35 years underwent an additional home-based polysomnographic study, 14 days after the first study. In these individuals, both strength of cardioventilatory coupling (ICC = 0.671, p = 0.003), and proportion of the night spent coupling (ICC = 0.770, p < 0.001), were moderately repeatable from Night 1 to Night 2.
In the third study, cardioventilatory coupling was examined in 151 individuals with
sleep-disordered breathing (SDB). Cardioventilatory coupling was observed to some degree in all but one individual with SDB. Decreased strength of coupling (Spearman, r = -0.33, p < 0.001) and decreased proportion of the night spent coupling (Spearman, r = -0.39, p < 0.001) was observed with increasing apnoea hypopnoea index. As with healthy individuals, both the strength of coupling (χ2(3) = 12.95, p = 0.005) and the proportion of the night spent coupling (χ2(3) = 19.37, p < 0.001) differed significantly between wakefulness, light
sleep, SWS and REM
sleep, in individuals with SDB. Coupling strength was increased during light
sleep, compared to wakefulness and REM
sleep.
It is concluded that cardioventilatory coupling is a phenomenon observed in most individuals during
sleep, but a large degree of inter-individual variability is exhibited in strength of coupling and the proportion of the night spent coupling. In healthy individuals, coupling is observed as a moderately repeatable phenomenon from night-to-night. Increasing severity of SDB is associated with decreased cardioventilatory coupling, which may be reflective of changes in autonomic activity observed with SDB. Together, these findings have identified…

▼ INTRODUCTION: Poor sleep quality is a significant risk factor for the development of postpartum depression. This thesis examined the impact of a post-delivery intervention which promoted and protected sleep during the immediate postpartum period on maternal mood, sleep quality, and anxiety.
METHODS: 41 women with lifetime or current mood and/or anxiety disorders (12 receiving the intervention) were enrolled in this prospective naturalistic cohort study from the third trimester of pregnancy until 24 weeks postpartum. Depression, the primary outcome, was measured using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale at 12 weeks postpartum. Remaining outcomes (sleep quality and anxiety) were measured using self-report questionnaires (Insomnia Severity Index and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, respectfully), and objective measures (i.e., actigraphy for sleep quality).
RESULTS: There were no significant differences between the comparison and intervention group in depressive symptomatology at postpartum week 12 (primary outcome). On our secondary outcomes, we found that there were no significant differences in subjective and objective sleep quality at postpartum week two, or anxiety symptomatology at postpartum week eight between the two groups. There were also no significant differences in breastfeeding rates between the two groups at postpartum week 24.
CONCLUSION AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS: Floor effects, specialized perinatal psychiatric treatment for a specific population, and low statistical power offer explanations for the observed null results. Strengths of our study include diagnosis of mood/anxiety disorders using the gold-standard (i.e., clinician diagnosis), and use of objective sleep measures. Future studies may benefit from implementing this intervention in resource-poor settings, using adequately powered research designs.
Thesis
Master of Science (MSc)
While the arrival of a child is a celebrated and joyous occasion, it can also be a source of duress and anguish, particularly for the mother. Postpartum depression is a mood disorder experienced by 10-15% of mothers after childbirth. One of the strongest risk factors for the development of postpartum depression is disrupted postpartum sleep quality. This thesis examined the impact of an intervention designed to protect and promote sleep of mothers during the postpartum period in an effort to improve mood, sleep quality, and anxiety symptomatology. By improving maternal mental health, not only do women benefit, but their children, their partners, and the healthcare system.
