▼ 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…

▼ Projeto de Pós-Graduação/Dissertação apresentado à Universidade Fernando Pessoa como parte dos requisitos para obtenção do grau de Mestre em Medicina Dentária
Na literatura é demonstrada a existência de uma relação entre qualidade do sono e a presença de disfunções temporomandibulares (DTMs), sendo que o aumento do grau de disfunção implica um decréscimo da qualidade de sono ou vice-versa. As condições musculares são as mais comuns em pacientes com má qualidade de sono.
O objectivo deste estudo foi avaliar a qualidade do sono em estudantes universitários e a sua relação com DTMs musculares.
Foi realizada uma revisão bibliográfica narrativa do tema com as palavras-chave: “sleep medicine”; “sleep mecanisms”; “neurophysiology of sleep”; “sleep disorders”; “sleep disorders AND students”; “temporomandibular disorders”; “myogenous temporomandibular disorders”; “temporomandibular disorders AND students”; “sleep disorders AND temporomandibular disorders”. Realizou-se, posteriormente, uma investigação científica, numa amostra de 100 estudantes da Universidade Fernando Pessoa, utilizando-se um questionário, o Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), e realizando-se o exame clínico, segundo a versão portuguesa dos Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (Critérios de Diagnóstico para a Pesquisa de Disfunções Temporomandibulares-CDP/DTM) para a realização do diagnóstico das DTMs musculares.
No estudo realizado, verificou-se que 29% dos estudantes universitários apresentaram má qualidade de sono, sendo o género feminino o mais afectado. Do total de estudantes com má qualidade de sono, apenas 27,6% classificaram a qualidade do seu sono como moderadamente má ou muito má. Verificou-se uma relação estatísticamente significativa entre a má qualidade de sono e a presença de contracções musculares durante o sono. 25% destes casos manifestaram dor miofascial com limitação da abertura. A DTM muscular esteve presente em 19% da amostra, sendo que o subtipo mais comum foi a dor miofascial com limitação da abertura. 73,2% dos estudantes que não relataram dor facial apresentaram boa qualidade de sono, assim como 70,8% daqueles sem DTM muscular apresentaram, também, boa qualidade de sono. Dos estudantes com DTM muscular, 20% tinham má qualidade de sono. A associação da qualidade do sono com DTM muscular não foi verificada neste estudo, pelo que é fundamental investigações futuras sobre o tema com a utilização de critérios mais adequados quer para a avaliação da qualidade do sono quer das DTMs. In the literature it is shown that there is a relationship between quality of sleep and the presence of temporomandibular disorders (TMD), and the increasing degree of impairment involves a decline in sleep quality or vice versa. Muscle conditions are more common in patients with poor quality of sleep.
The aim of this study was to evaluate sleep quality in university students and its relationship with muscular TMD.
A narrative literature review was performed using the following keywords: “sleep…

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 effect of treatment of sleep disorders on symptom severity in children with ADHD: a selective review.
Degree: 2015, Universiteit Utrecht

▼ 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.

▼ 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…

▼ BACKGROUND: Headaches and
sleep disorders are common childhood complaints that both have
detriments to the proper development of a child. It has been found that children with
headaches have an increased association with
sleep disorders when compared to their
healthy counterparts. It has also been demonstrated that children with other chronic pain
conditions, such as gastrointestinal or musculoskeletal conditions, have increased
associations with
sleep disorders. Neither groups have been compared to one another
with regard to prevalence of
sleep disturbance.
LITERATURE REVIEW FINDINGS: This proposal includes a detailed literature review which is comprised mostly of cross sectional studies. The literature review discusses the large body of evidence that
examines the relationship of headaches and
sleep disorders in childhood. However, this
review also highlights the limitations in the understanding of the importance of
sleep to
pediatric painful conditions in general, and specifically what difference exist between
sleep in different types of chronic pain in children.
PROPOSED PROJECT: This cross-sectional study will evaluate the relationship between
sleep disturbances and chronic pain
disorders in children, which include headaches, inflammatory bowel disease,
and juvenile arthritis. The goal of this research is to examine whether
sleep disturbance is
more common in children with headaches as compared to other pediatric chronic pain
conditions.
CONCLUSIONS: This research will compare prevalence rates of
sleep disturbances to evaluate if the
prevalence will be greater in children with headaches as compared to other chronic pain
conditions. Additionally, this study will determine if there is a difference in prevalence of
sleep disturbances in children with headache subgroups. The completed research will
further examine and build upon the existing knowledge regarding the relationship
between pain and
sleep.

▼ Individuals who have sustained a traumatic brain injury (TBI) often complain of t roubl e
sleeping and daytime fatigue but little is known about the neurophysiological
underpinnings of the s e sleep difficulties. The fragile sleep of thos e with a TBI was
predicted to be characterized by impairments in gating, hyperarousal and a breakdown in
sleep homeostatic mechanisms. To test these hypotheses, 20 individuals with a TBI (18-
64 years old, 10 men) and 20 age-matched controls (18-61 years old, 9 men) took part in
a comprehensive investigation of their sleep. While TBI participants were not recruited
based on sleep complaint, the fmal sample was comprised of individuals with a variety of
sleep complaints, across a range of injury severities. Rigorous screening procedures were
used to reduce potential confounds (e.g., medication). Sleep and waking data were
recorded with a 20-channel montage on three consecutive nights. Results showed
dysregulation in sleep/wake mechanisms. The sleep of individuals with a TBI was less
efficient than that of controls, as measured by sleep architecture variables. There was a
clear breakdown in both spontaneous and evoked K-complexes in those with a TBI.
Greater injury severities were associated with reductions in spindle density, though sleep
spindles in slow wave sleep were longer for individuals with TBI than controls.
Quantitative EEG revealed an impairment in sleep homeostatic mechanisms during sleep
in the TBI group. As well, results showed the presence of hyper arousal based on
quantitative EEG during sleep. In wakefulness, quantitative EEG showed a clear
dissociation in arousal level between TBls with complaints of insomnia and TBls with
daytime fatigue. In addition, ERPs indicated that the experience of hyper arousal in
persons with a TBI was supported by neural evidence, particularly in wakefulness and Stage 2 sleep, and especially for those with insomnia symptoms. ERPs during sleep
suggested that individuals with a TBI experienced impairments in information processing
and sensory gating. Whereas neuropsychological testing and subjective data confirmed
predicted deficits in the waking function of those with a TBI, particularly for those with
more severe injuries, there were few group differences on laboratory computer-based
tasks. Finally, the use of correlation analyses confirmed distinct sleep-wake relationships
for each group. In sum, the mechanisms contributing to sleep disruption in TBI are
particular to this condition, and unique neurobiological mechanisms predict the
experience of insomnia versus daytime fatigue following a TBI. An understanding of
how sleep becomes disrupted after a TBI is important to directing future research and
neurorehabilitation.

O trabalho avalia em duas fases as alteraÃÃes clÃnicas, alteraÃÃes do sono, a alteraÃÃo cognitiva e as alteraÃÃes de estruturas cerebrais atravÃs de RessonÃncia MagnÃtica (RM) e morfologia baseada em voxel (VBM) em pacientes com DoenÃa de Parkinson. Foram estudados 100 pacientes (71% masculino), com idade entre 40 e 80 anos (66,1+9,5), recrutados do AmbulatÃrio de DistÃrbios do Movimento do Hospital UniversitÃrio Walter CantÃdio. A amostra faz parte de uma coorte longitudinal (Sleep-For-PD study). Foram estudadas as alteraÃÃes do sono e seus fatores associados e preditivos. A escala de sono da DoenÃa de Parkinson (PDSS) que avalia alteraÃÃes de sono na DP, a escala Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) que avalia a qualidade do sono, a escala Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) que avalia o grau subjetivo de sonolÃncia e a escala Unified Parkinsonâs Disease Scale (UPDRS partes I, II, III e IV) que avalia a gravidade da doenÃa foram estudados.
Os sintomas depressivos foram avaliados atravÃs das escalas Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) e Hospital Anxiety Depression (HAD). Os pacientes foram submetidos ao Mini Exame do Estado Mental (MEEM) que avaliou o grau de alteraÃÃo cognitiva e a escala de distÃrbio comportamental do sono REM (RBD). A dose de levodopa (DEL) foi avaliada. Pacientes com alteraÃÃes do sono (PDSS) apresentaram mais alucinaÃÃes diurnas, mais alteraÃÃo cognitiva, mais ansiedade, depressÃo e maior gravidade dos sintomas parkinsonianos (p<0,05). Pacientes com mà qualidade de sono (PSQI) tiveram mais sintomas depressivos. Os escores PDSS correlacionaram-se ainda com a funÃÃo cognitiva (MEEM), os sintomas depressivos (BDI e HAD), a qualidade do sono (PSQI), a gravidade da doenÃa e com a escala de RBD. Os escores PSQI correlacionaram-se com o MEEM, atividades de vida diÃria (UPDRS II) e sintomas de depressÃo/ansiedade (BDI e HAD). Gravidade de sintomas relacionados a atividades da vida diÃria (p=0,002),
sintomas depressivos (p=0,01) e ansiedade (p=0,01) foram fatores independentes preditivos das alteraÃÃes do sono (PDSS). A DEL e o MEEM foram preditores da mà qualidade do sono (p=0,02). A escala RBD (p=0,002) e a UPDRS I (p=0,02) foram preditores do grau de sonolÃncia. ConcluÃmos que alteraÃÃes de sono, mà qualidade de sono e sonolÃncia diurna excessiva sÃo comuns na DP. As escalas PDSS, PSQI e ESS tÃm fatores associados e preditivos distintos. A escala PDSS apresenta maior abrangÃncia na avaliaÃÃo do sono na DP. Na segunda fase, foram avaliadas as estruturas cerebrais por RM, a presenÃa de alteraÃÃes cognitivas e fatores associados em 39 pacientes com DP e em 10 indivÃduos controles pareados por idade. As imagens de RM foram processadas de acordo com o protocolo para processamento de VBM. A variÃvel de desfecho usada foi o volume de substÃncia cinzenta. Nossos dados evidenciaram que pacientes com DP apresentaram maior comprometimento cognitivo e maior ansiedade. Pacientes com DP e
alteraÃÃes cognitivas apresentaram maior gravidade da doenÃa. NÃo houve diferenÃa no volume de substÃncia cinzenta entre…

▼ Insomnia had generally been conceptualized as a nighttime disorder, while the daytime
experience of insomnia has been largely ignored. However, there are several lines of research suggesting daytime experiences as well as daytime behaviours are equally important. For example, daily behavioural routines commonly referred to as social rhythms (e.g., exercise, attendance of school or work, recreation, engagement in social activities) have been identified as potential zeitgebers (i.e., time cues that help to regulate the biological clock). Previous research has shown that regulating behavioural zeitgebers may have promising benefits for
sleep. As such, this study examined the daytime activities in a clinical insomnia population and a good sleeper comparison
group. Participants (N = 69) prospectively monitored their
sleep and daily activities for a two-week period, while wearing a wrist actiwatch. Those with insomnia appear to engage in activities characterized by significantly less regularity than good sleepers. However, those with insomnia were found to engage in similar levels of daily activities compared to good sleepers. Findings from this study highlight the relative importance of daytime activities on this supposed nighttime process. Accordingly, future research would benefit from testing treatment components that focus on regulating daytime activities, which would likely improve treatment outcomes.

▼ Research has shown that poor sleepers focus primarily on their
sleep as a cause of daytime fatigue rather than the multitude of other possible causes of fatigue. This can create
sleep-related anxiety and further perpetuate the insomnia. In order to lessen the increased focus on
sleep, the present study investigated whether people could learn to consider other attributions for fatigue via an information-based intervention, and whether this cognitive change would have implications for relevant mood states. Participants were randomized to receive either “causes of fatigue” information (FI), or generic
sleep-information (control), and were tested pre- and post-intervention. FI participants were significantly more likely to consider non-
sleep-related attributions for fatigue at post-intervention, relative to control participants. There were no significant group differences on relevant mood states. These results demonstrate that attributions or fatigue are amenable to change via an information-based intervention; thus, this research explores one avenue toward refining insomnia treatments.

▼ There is currently mixed evidence for the relationship between poor
sleep and daytime fatigue. It is well documented that retrospective measures of insomnia and fatigue are highly correlated with one another. However, other studies fail to demonstrate a link between objectively less
sleep and fatigue; that is, individuals with shorter
sleep times do not necessarily report increased fatigue. As such, the relationship between these two constructs remains unclear. The current investigation will help to elucidate the complex relationship between
sleep and fatigue among those with and without insomnia by advancing the existing literature in two important ways. First, this study proposed to examine the temporal relationship between
sleep and fatigue across two weeks, thereby investigating whether
sleep and fatigue occur in accordance with one anotherover time. Second, this study utilized a multi-method approach by collecting subjective (i.e.,
sleep diary) and objective (i.e., actigraphy) measures of
sleep, as well as retrospective (i.e.,visual analogue scales: VAS) and prospective (i.e., momentary ratings) measures of fatigue. Two separate hierarchical linear models were used to test whether
sleep (measured by
sleep quality and total
sleep time) predicted daytime fatigue on the VAS and actigraph, respectively. The secondary objective asked whether cognitive-behavioural variables (i.e., maladaptive
sleep beliefs, fear and avoidance of fatigue, and fatigue-based rumination) may help account for the relationship between
sleep and fatigue using mediation. The results of the primary analyses suggested that
sleep quality significantly predicted VAS fatigue ratings, whereas total
sleep time was a significant predictor of fatigue within- but not between-persons.
No significant relationships were found between objective measures of
sleep and momentary fatigue ratings. Finally, each of the cognitive-behavioural variables, with the exception of avoidance of fatigue, were significant mediators of the relationship between
sleep and fatigue. The results demonstrated that compared to
sleep quantity, our perception of
sleep may play a more important role in predicting reports of daytime fatigue. These findings could help decrease the burden that individuals with insomnia place on their total
sleep times, and instead, treatment could focus on challenging maladaptive
sleep-related cognitions, which ultimately could lessen the overall
sleep-related anxiety.

▼ Among all symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease (PD), depression and
sleep dysfunction have the highest impact on quality of life, yet
sleep disturbances and depression symptoms are often left unrecognized and untreated. With the rising annual cost of pharmacologic treatments for PD and the increasing prevalence of PD in the United States, there is a need to implement effective non-pharmacologic regimens, such as physical exercise. Adherence to exercise regimens can often be challenging, especially for elderly patients with progressive neurological impairment. However, enjoyable exercises, such as dancing, involve socialization and musical stimuli that are associated with increased motivation in patients. Dance exercise has been shown to have significant improvement in motor symptoms, functional mobility, mood, and quality of life in PD patients compared to no intervention or traditional exercises. Previous studies have shown that Tango style dancing has additional benefits for PD patients as it may selectively activate areas of the brain associated with motor and non-motor symptoms (the basal ganglia and anterior putamen, respectively) during backward walking and metered rhythmic movement. However, no studies have yet investigated the effect of dance intervention on
sleep quality in patients with PD.
The proposed study is a randomized control trial that will compare the
sleep quality improvement of 90 elderly PD patients in two treatment arms, a Tango dance intervention with walking and walking alone (control group). The Tango group will participate in a 6-month Adapted Tango class designed for PD patients.
Sleep quality will be measured as the primary outcome using the Parkinson’s Disease
Sleep Scale (PDSS-2). Depression will be measured as a secondary outcome using the BDI-II.
This will be the first study to investigate the effects of dance intervention on
sleep quality in patients with PD, applying an adapted Tango program similar to those used in previous studies. If the results of this study reveal positive effects of Tango on
sleep quality, clinicians may be able to recommend Tango-style dance exercise as a therapeutic intervention to target
sleep disturbances and improve quality of life for patients with PD.

▼ Excessive sleepiness is the most concerned and
debilitating symptoms suffered by patients with various sleep
disorders around the world. In recent years, the use of
Armodafinil, the R-isomer of the racemic Modafinil, has become
increasingly popular as the pharmacological agent for treating
excessive sleepiness.
In this study, a systematic review on
Armodafinil, being the first systematic review focusing on its
clinical application on various sleep disorders, was conducted.
Major electronic literature databases were systematically searched
by two researchers independently, with relevant papers selected and
data extracted. The methodological qualities of the included papers
are further evaluated based on the Modified Jadad scoring system
and Cochrane criteria for risk of bias. Eleven randomized
controlled trials were included. Meta-analyses of Armodafinil
against placebo were then performed on different extractable
outcome parameters.
Our systematic review found that Armodafinil
is consistently effective in treating excessive sleepiness and
fatigue, as well as improving the general clinical conditions,
related to various dyssomnias. These are confirmed by the
meta-analysis on different outcome domains, namely subjective
sleepiness measures (i.e. reduction in Epworth Sleepiness Score,
-1.92, 95% CI [-2.72, -1.11], p<0.00001; heterogeneity I2=0%),
objective sleepiness measures (i.e. increase in mean sleep latency
in Maintenance of Wakefulness Test, 2.97 min, 95% CI [1.88, 4.05],
p<0.00001, heterogeneity I2=34%; and Multiple Sleep Latency
Test, 6.74 min, 95% CI [5.99, 7.49], p<0.00001, heterogeneity
I2=0%, ), and other clinical markers (i.e. odds ratio of proportion
with improved Clinical Global Impression of Changes, odds ratio
3.13; 95% CI [2.24, 4.38], p <0.00001; heterogeneity I2=55%;
reduction of fatigue level in Brief Fatigue Inventory, mean
difference-0.77, 95% CI [-1.14, -0.41], p < 0.0001,
heterogeneity I2=39%). The important and significant implication
of Armodafinil in the management of various sleep disorder and
dyssomnia is therefore confirmed in this study.
Moreover,
potential adverse effects with significant risk ratio are also
revealed, including dry mouth (risk ratio 5.98, 95% CI [2.18,
16.44], p=0.0005), anxiety (risk ratio 4.83, 95% CI [2.41, 9.66],
p<0.00001) and insomnia (risk ratio 4.47, 95 CI% [2.33, 8.58],
p<0.0001). In general, Armodafinil is well tolerated by the
patients with sleep disorders.

▼ Sleep research with adults with learning disabilities has been limited. This study considered the sleep problems experienced by adults with learning disabilities in two main sections, a survey and an intervention. The survey assessed the prevalence, nature and range of sleep problems experienced by adults with learning disabilities who live at home with their families, and investigated the relationship between sleep problems and daytime behaviour disturbance. The intervention part of the study considered whether daytime behaviour difficulties reduced following a successful sleep intervention, and whether carer stress was influenced by an improvement in sleep problems. Individuals with learning disabilities who live at home with their families had prevalence figures for sleep problems higher than those experienced by the general population. The relationship between sleep and behaviour problems was highly specific with settling problems predicting hyperactivity, lethargy, irritability and the overall score on behavioural measures. The interventions did not provide substantial evidence that sleep and behaviour were related, with only one of six participants demonstrating a decrease in behaviour problems following an improvement in sleep. Carer stress did not significantly reduce as a result of the intervention. The study has provided prevalence rates of sleep problems for a population which has not been previously studied. It concludes that the relationship between sleep and behaviour definitive conclusions can be drawn. The efficacy of behavioural interventions was demonstrated, and the clinical and theoretical implications of the results were considered.

▼ It is estimated that over 400,000 women in the United States experience postpartum depressive symptoms each year. Postpartum depression has been linked with a series of negative psychosocial sequelae for mothers and potential developmental sequelae for infants. Research has helped to identify potential risk factors for postpartum depression, but additional research is needed to identify and understand these factors. Previous studies have identified sleep quality and physical activity as potential factors linked with postpartum depression symptoms. Yet, none have examined the interrelationship relationship between these factors in predicting postpartum depression symptoms. This study examined the interaction between sleep quality and physical activity in predicting postpartum depression symptoms using a cross-sectional design. Ninety-six postpartum women completed this study. Findings yielded significant relationships among sleep quality, insomnia severity, fatigue, physical activity and postpartum mood. Of note, sleep quality and insomnia severity were found to be significant predictors of postpartum mood. However, a relationship between sleep quality and physical activity was not supported in this study. Physical activity was found to be positively correlated with postpartum depression symptoms, but was not a moderator of the relationship between sleep quality and postpartum depression symptoms. A more careful assessment of the types of physical activity that women engage postpartum and specific types of sleep dysregulation, in tandem with postpartum depression symptoms, is needed.

▼ Changes in sleep and sleep disturbance are persistent and prevalent following concussion. Furthermore, deficits in several key areas of neuropsychological functioning, including motor speed, executive function, memory, and attention have been well documented following a mild head injury. However, the relationship between sleep disturbance and cognitive status in concussed patients has received little attention. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between sleep, reported post-concussive symptoms, and cognition (visual memory, verbal memory, speed of processing, and reaction time) in concussed patients in the acute phase (<4 months) of injury. It also aimed to describe a typical "sleep profile" post concussion, and to explore the efficacy of current rest recovery protocols. Participants included 18 post-concussive patients (55.6% female, mean age 35.78 years [SD=14.49]) treated at the Penn Concussion Clinic in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. A high incidence (94%) reported at least one mild post-concussive sleep symptom at their intake appointment. Sleep variables related to cognition at both intake and exit, and were most strongly associated with motor processing speed and reaction time. Reported higher insomnia symptoms (e.g. sleeping less than usual and reported difficulty falling asleep) at a participant’s intake appointment were strongly associated with poorer processing speed and slower reaction times at exit. This may suggest a particular need to address insomnia symptoms in an effort to accelerate concussion recovery.

▼ This secondary data analysis examined the extent to which fatigue mediates the relationship between insomnia and the physical, social, and psychological domains of functional status in community-dwelling older adults. Data were obtained from 209 older adults with insomnia. Regression analysis was used to test the proposed mediating role of fatigue. Findings identified insomnia of moderate severity in community-dwelling older adults. Insomnia was directly associated with social function and indirectly associated with physical and psychological function. Fatigue mediated the relationship between insomnia and all three domains of functional status. The findings highlight the importance of successfully managing insomnia and fatigue to promote functioning in older adults.

▼ Sleep changes with ageing and people with dementia and their carers often have disturbed sleep,
but information on the sleep of older New Zealanders is lacking. Four studies were conducted in order to
address these factors. The first two used pre-existing survey data to understand the sleep health of older
people, and to explore the relationship between caregiving and sleep. Sleep problems were reported by
20-32% of participants, prevalence decreased with increasing age. In those aged at least 79 years, sleep
problems were associated more with health status rather than demographic factors. Older carers were
more likely to report feeling tired than non-carers.
Dementia-related sleep problems are challenging for individuals and their carers, and poor sleep
may exacerbate waking dementia symptoms. However, there is limited research with community-dwelling
dyads of people with dementia (PWD) and their carers. Studies 3 and 4 were conducted to understand and
treat dementia-related sleep problems. Focus groups with 12 dyads revealed the multifaceted nature of
their sleep problems. Normalisation of sleep problems was common. In the final study, a five-week trial
was piloted involving sleep education, light therapy and an exercise programme. Sleep of the dyads was
monitored using actigraphy and standardised questionnaires. Questionnaires also measured cognitive
functioning, quality of life, and dementia-related disruption, as well as carers’ mental health and coping.
Fifteen pairs participated, of whom nine completed the trial. Case studies revealed that five PWD had
improvements to their subjective sleep ratings. These PWD also showed some improvements in wake time
at night, cognitive functioning, and carer-rated quality of life. These changes did not always translate into
improved sleep or mental health for carers. Many PWD’s health deteriorated across the trial, masking the
effects of the intervention.
Overall, these studies illustrate the importance and diverse nature of sleep with ageing, dementia,
and caregiving. Non-pharmacological interventions can be used successfully by some community-dwelling
dyads. It is recommended that these low-risk interventions are considered by healthcare professionals.
Increased knowledge and options could empower individuals to manage their own symptoms, providing
hope for improving the sleeping and waking experience of older people affected by dementia.

▼ Measures of
sleep physiology, not obvious to the human eye, may provide important clues to disease states, and responses to therapy. A significant amount of eye movement data is not attended to clinically in routine
sleep studies because these data are too long, about six to eight hours in duration, and they are also mixed with many unknown artifacts usually produced from EEG signals or other activities. This research describes how eye movements were different in depressed patients who used antidepressant medications, compared to those who did not.The goal is to track antidepressant medications effects on
sleep eye movements. Clinically used SSRIs such as Prozac (Fluoxetine), Celexa (Citalopram), Zoloft (Sertraline), the SNRI Effexor (Venlafaxine) have been considered in this study to assess the possible connections between eye movements recorded during
sleep and serotonin activities. The novelty of this research is in the assessment of
sleep eye movement, in order to track the antidepressant medications' effect on the brain through EOG channels. EOG analysis is valuable because it is a noninvasive method, and the following research is looking for findings that are invisible to the eyes of professional clinicians.This thesis focuses on quantifying
sleep eye movements, with two techniques: autoregressive modeling and wavelet analysis. The eye movement detection software (EMDS) with more than 1500 lines was developed for detecting
sleep eye movements. AR coefficients were derived from the
sleep eye movements of the patients who were exposed to antidepressant medications, and those who were not, and then they are classified by means of linear discriminant analysis. also for wavelet analysis, discrete wavelet coefficients have been used for classifying
sleep eye movements of the patients who were exposed to medication and those who were not.

▼ New mothers often complain of impaired cognitive functioning, and it is well documented that women experience a significant increase in
sleep disturbance after the birth of a child.
Sleep disturbance has been linked to impaired cognitive performance in several populations, including commercial truck drivers, airline pilots, and medical residents, though this relationship has rarely been studied in postpartum women. In the present study 13 pregnant women and a group of 22 non-pregnant controls completed one week of actigraphy followed by a battery of neuropsychological tests and questionnaires in the last month of pregnancy (Time 1) and again at four weeks postpartum (Time 2). Pregnant women experienced significantly more objective and subjective
sleep disturbance than the control group at both time points. They also demonstrated more impairment in objective, but not subjective cognitive functioning. Preliminary analyses indicated increased objective
sleep fragmentation from Time 1 to Time 2 predicted decreased objective cognitive performance from Time 1 to Time 2, though small sample size limited the power of these findings. Implications for perinatal women and need for future research were discussed.

▼ Background: Obstructive
sleep apnea (OSA) is chronic disorder that contributes to multiple physiological and psychological conditions. Obstructive
sleep apnea contributes to high rates of morbidity and mortality and has substantial impacts on both health care costs and the quality of life for affected individuals and their families. Healthcare providers–particularly primary health care nurses –are ideally situated to interrupt the cascading consequences of OSA if they are equipped with evidence-based knowledge about the disease process and appropriate methods for screening, education, and preventive interventions.
Purpose: The purpose of the study was to test the preliminary efficacy and feasibility of an online health educational intervention on the knowledge and attitudes ofOSA among primary health care nurses in Oman.
Methods: This study was designed to assess the preliminary efficacy and feasibility of an online educational program on OSA by randomly assigning subjects to either a treatment (OSA content) or attention control (diabetes content) group. At baseline, the OSA knowledge and attitudes of both groups were assessed by the Obstructive
Sleep Apnea Knowledge and Attitudes (OSAKA) questionnaire; both groups also completed the Diabetes Basic Knowledge Test (DBKT) to use for control comparisons. Following randomization, the intervention group viewed a 15-minute narrated video on "Brief Introduction to OSA for Omani Nurses"and the control group viewed a similarly formatted15-minute narrated video on diabetes. The intent was for the subjects in both groups to complete a posttest that included both the OSAKA and DBKT instruments; however, due to a programming error, the software did not present the DBKT to the intervention subjects and did not present the OSAKA instrument to the control subjects as intended. Therefore, the results describe the findings from a one-group, pretest-posttest intervention study to assess the preliminary efficacy and feasibility of the educational intervention. Feasibility data were also collected with face-to face interviews with a convenience sample of nurse administrators who oversee primary health care nurses in health centers in the Al-Batinah governorate in Oman.
Results: Overall, the baseline OSA knowledge scores for the entire sample (N=156) were very low (M=8.87, SD=2.91; median=9, range 0-15 out of possible 18 points). There were no significant relationships between OSA knowledge and any of the demographic variables. There was no significant difference in the mean OSA knowledge scores (p=0.80, t=0.26) between the intervention group (M=8.90, SD=2.68,n=73) and the control group (M=8.84,SD=3.12,n=83) at baseline. Primary health care nurses in the intervention group(n = 73)had a significant improvement in posttest knowledge scores on the OSAKA as compared to pretest scores (p=.037, t= −2.1). After the online OSA educational intervention, 91.8% (n=67) of participants (n=73) indicated they were “likely” or “very likely” to recommend the online video to other health…

▼ Ph.D. University of Hawaii at Manoa 2014.
Sleep disorders are a class of medical disorders where typical sleep behavior is disrupted or abnormal, which leads to physical, mental, and emotional dysfunction. Often, sleep disorders go undiagnosed at the source of these symptoms. Sleep apnea and hypopnea are the most common sleep disorders. They are classified by a recurring interruption of breathing during sleep or abnormally shallow breathing as a result of the obstruction of the upper airway or neurological malfunction. Statistics show that about 15 million Americans suffer from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), one type of sleep apnea. Currently, polysomnography (PSG) is considered the gold standard test for detecting sleep disorders. During this test a subject with a suspected disorder spends a night in a sleep lab, and several physiological parameters are recorded during their sleep using sensors attached to the body. All of this makes PSG time consuming, complicated, inconvenient, and expensive. Therefore, the development of more simple, accurate, comfortable, and affordable devices for sleep monitoring is desired to improve the efficacy of sleep tests and improve accessibility. In this dissertation, a non-contact physiological radar monitoring system (PRMS) is introduced for sleep disorder monitoring. This PRMS utilizes continuous-wave Doppler radar and a real-time algorithm which recognizes paradoxical breathing to diagnose OSA and hypopnea. The PRMS was integrated with a standard PSG system to evaluate the efficacy for supplementing or replacing a standard PSG test for some applications. A clinical study was carried out using the PRMS on 10 subjects with known sleep apnea. In this study, the PRMS accurately diagnosed the occurrence of either an OSA or hypopnea event, but was less effective for differentiating between them. As a compliment to a standard PSG test, the PRMS results provided a clear way to quickly identify the occurrence of an obstructive apnea/hypopnea event, with the PSG measurements then used to further analyze the event. Recognition of the occurrence of a general obstructive sleep disorders also makes the system attractive as a standalone screening device that could be conveniently used, perhaps at home, on a broad population to identify patients that should be considered for further sleep medicine treatment.

▼ The practice of sleep medicine is expanding and evolving rapidly, often ahead of the evidence base to support clinical practice. Obstructive Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB) is a condition characterised by repetitive airway collapse causing harmful intermittent blood oxygen desaturations and fragmented sleep. When combined with daytime sleepiness it is known as Obstructive Sleep Apnoea Syndrome (OSAS). Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) eliminates SDB by pneumatically splinting open the airway with positive air pressure applied through the nose and/or mouth. CPAP effectively reduces daytime sleepiness in patients with severe OSAS. However, doubt remains as to the effectiveness of CPAP in the majority of patients with mild-moderate OSAS. The effects of CPAP were compared to a placebo CPAP during a three week crossover Randomised Controlled Trial (RCT) that included 31 mild-moderate OSAS patients. CPAP effectively eliminated SDB (when worn) and moderately improved subjective sleepiness. But. it did not improve objective wakefulness, mood, psychomotor function, or quality of life. Patients who were extremely sleepy at baseline tended to gain the most placebo adjusted benefit from treatment. A systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to gather and objectively combine all relevant RCT studies to find our whether CPAP reduced sleepiness in patients with mild-moderate OSAS. Seven trials were combined and showed that both subjective sleepiness and objective wakefulness were slightly improved by CPAP therapy. Objective sleepiness was not improved by CPAP. It is not clear from these two studies that treating mild-moderate OSAS with CPAP is an effective use of resources. CPAP effectiveness might be limited by sub-optimal compliance. C-Flex aims to improve compliance by modulating pressure during exhalation. C-Flex was compared to CPAP during a pilot RCT that included 19 patients with severe OSAS. C-Flex was associated with a non-significant increase in compliance of 1.7 hours/night compared to CPAP. However, this increase in compliance was not associated with better daytime patient outcomes. Further experiments are proposed as a result of our pilot RCT. This thesis helps expand evidence-based sleep medicine. Practitioners need to be vigilant, ensuring that treatments are effective in the patients groups in which they are being used (clinical drift), and that new treatments are not adopted without superiority over existing treatments (technological drift).

▼ Sleep disturbance and fatigue are frequently cited as common, severe, and persistent symptoms of traumatic brain injury (TBI). However, the characterization of fatigue and sleep disturbance following paediatric TBI has been largely neglected. The first aim of this dissertation was to systematically assess the efficacy of sleep hygiene related interventions on sleep outcomes post-TBI. Ten studies, with varying methodological quality, met inclusion criteria. Only some of the interventions were effective in improving sleep outcomes in adults with TBI: problem solving therapy; cognitive behaviour therapy for insomnia; blue light therapy; and combined sleep hygiene counselling and Prazosin. Significantly, there were no studies that examined the efficacy of sleep hygiene related interventions in children or adolescents with TBI. The second aim of this dissertaion was to identify the characteristics and risk factors of disordered sleep and fatigue of children with moderate to severe TBI. In an empirical study, parents rated children with moderate to severe TBI as exhibiting greater overall sleep disturbance, as well as specific types of disordered sleep, relative to orthopaedic injury (OI) controls. These different dimensions of disordered sleep were associated with different risk factors. Children with moderate to severe TBI also experienced greater overall fatigue, as well as specific types of fatigue, per parent and child report, relative to OI controls. Parent and child ratings of fatigue were once again associated with different risk factors. This research is, to our knowledge, the first to demonstrate that children with moderate to severe TBI experience greater overall and specific fatigue and disordered sleep. What’s more, these difficulties are associated with distinct risk factors. Further research on the efficacy of non-pharmacological interventions in managing sleep disturbance and/or fatigue post-TBI in children with TBI is required.

▼ CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior
A qualidade do sono à um poderoso preditor de saÃde, pois està relacionado com o risco para problemas de saÃde crÃnicos, como diabetes mellitus, hipertensÃo, obesidade e a SM. Esta à uma agregaÃÃo de problemas cardiometabÃlicos que eleva substancialmente a morbi-mortalidade humana independente da causa. O grau da relaÃÃo entre SM e a quantidade/qualidade do sono jà està estabelecido em idosos, pessoas de meia idade, operÃrios e atà crianÃas, mas, em adultos jovens, aparentemente saudÃveis, ainda à desconhecido. Dessa forma, o objetivo geral desta pesquisa foi analisar a relaÃÃo entre SM e indicadores de saÃde com a qualidade do sono de universitÃrios de Fortaleza-CearÃ. Pesquisa observacional, quantitativa, com desenho transversal. Foram avaliados 701 universitÃrios de 24 cursos das seis Ãreas de conhecimento da UFC entre marÃo e junho de 2011 em duas etapas. Na primeira, os alunos
preencheram um instrumento sobre indicadores sociodemogrÃficos, de saÃde e uma versÃo validada e adaptada, aos padrÃes brasileiros, do Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Numa data posterior, com os alunos em jejum por doze horas, coletaram-se os seguintes dados bioquÃmicos: glicemia venosa de jejum, triglicerÃdeos, LDL-C, HDL-C e o cortisol. Nessa mesma ocasiÃo, foram mensurados pressÃo arterial, circunferÃncia abdominal, peso corporal e altura. Analisaram-se os componentes da SM consoante o critÃrio da NCEP-ATP III. Os dados sofreram tripla digitaÃÃo e foram analisados no software STATA versÃo 8.0. Parcela substancial dos universitÃrios eram maus dormidores (95,2%) enquanto uma minoria tinha SM (1,6%). Os alunos com menor duraÃÃo do sono foram os da Ãrea de agrÃrias (6,24h DPÂ 1,23h) e tecnologia (6,29h DPÂ 1,24) (p=0,04). Grande maioria dos alunos maus dormidores (39%) tinha uma renda supeior a seis salÃrios mÃnimos (p=0,03). Os universitÃrios que moravam sozinhos (IC-95%- 1,03-1,08)
(p<0,001) ou com os pais, (p<0,020), com idade ≥ 30 anos (IC95%-1,02-1,07) (p<0,001), com mÃdio risco para etilismo (IC95%-1,03-1,07) (p<0,001) e os fumantes diÃrios (IC95%-1,02-1,06) (p<0,001) apresentavam uma chance superior a 1,05, 1,05,1,05, 104 e 1,05, respectivamente, de possuir mà qualidade do sono. Praticamente todos os alunos com cortisol elevado (96,1%) tinham sono com eficiÃncia de 65-74% (p=0,02). Hà um aumento de 5% na probabilidade de universitÃrios maus dormidores apresentarem SM (RP=1,05; IC 95%:1,03-1,07) (p=0,013). Estes alunos tambÃm possuem uma chance superior a 1,05 de apresentar glicemia elevada (RP=1,05; IC95%-1,03-1,07) (p<0,001). NÃo houve correlaÃÃo estatisticamente significante entre os componentes da SM isolados e o PSQI. Portanto, os universitÃrios maus dormidores possuem uma probabilidade maior de apresentar SM comparativamente aos bons dormidores. à importante que os profissionais de saÃde
considerem a avaliaÃÃo da qualidade do sono desses jovens na prevenÃÃo e combate à SM, assim como na elaboraÃÃo de estratÃgias individualizadas para a promoÃÃo da saÃde deles.…

▼ This thesis work evaluates our proposed methodology for automated detection of
sleep events from Polysomnographic (PSG) data. The
sleep data was collected during real
sleep studies using Profusion PSG3. The event detection tasks used a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) to achieve signal classification for
sleep event detection. The Hilbert transform (envelope) was used to extract features for input to the HMM. HMM was selected as our classification method of choice, due to the fact that it was able to capture the temporal variations of the biosignals collected through PSG. In this work, we detected
sleep motion events, such as rapid eye movements (REM) and leg movements, and breathing events like obstructive apnea, hypopnea and snore. The task of detecting events of interest was achieved using a sliding window approach, and classifying each signal segment as containing an event or not, hence, leading to a binary classification problem for each type of event. Our experimental results show that our proposed approach can be successfully used for
sleep event detection, to assist experts in
sleep quality assessment, however, the big imbalance between the number of segments that contain a positive event and the ones that do not, often negatively affects the performance of our classification method.

▼ Infant
sleep problems have been found to be related to child, parent, and family
difficulties in both the short and long term. Behavioural interventions have been shown to be important for reducing and preventing these associated problems. As the primary caregivers of infants, parents are key figures in providing information about their children to clinicians and researchers. They also determine whether and when to seek treatment for infant
sleep problems, and how interventions are implemented. However, little is
known about how parents perceive infant
sleep problems, a factor that is important in
parental decisions for seeking infant
sleep interventions. Thus, it is vital to gain further insight into parents’ understanding of infant
sleep problems. Guided by the transactional model of infant
sleep developed by Sadeh, Tikotzky, and Scher (2010), this study explores the relationship between child age, mothers’ perception of infant
sleep problems for their own children, mothers’
sleep-based attribution, and mothers’ assessment of infant
sleep problems for children in a scenario. Results from a sample of 878 mothers of children 6 to 23 months of age showed that child age, mothers’ perception of a
sleep problem for their own children, and
sleep-based attributions were significant predictors of
mothers’ assessment of infant
sleep problem for scenario children. With regard to child
age, mothers were more likely to give more responsibility for
sleep behaviours to and to
assess an infant
sleep problem for older infants than younger infants. When mothers
thought their own children had a
sleep problem, this seemed to be related to their global perceptions of infant
sleep behaviours, as they were also more likely to identify an infant
sleep problem for a scenario child. Lastly, mothers attributed greater child responsibility
(higher child-centered locus, controllability, and intentionality) and parent-centered locus for good
sleep and less so for negative
sleep. The implications of these findings and future directions are discussed.

▼ Sleep disordered breathing (SBD) in children ranges in severity from primary snoring to Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS). SBD is known to impact on sleep and health and evidence also suggests negative impacts on neuropsychological and psychosocial performance. However, the prevalence of SBD in children remains to be clearly established. In addition, the degree of neuropsychological and psychosocial impairment in children with SBD and the severity of SBD is that it is necessary for this impairment to be evident, remain established. These questions were examined in the four studies that comprise this thesis.

▼ Non-motor symptoms (NMS) are common in Parkinson's disease (PD) and are considered the most disturbing symptoms to both patients and caregivers. Sleep disorders including rapid-eye-movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD), obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), restless legs syndrome (RLS), and periodic limb movement in sleep (PLMS) are common in and contribute to the disability of PD patients. This study evaluated the impact of sleep disorders on the NMS of PD. Eighty-six PD patients were evaluated and assessed for sleep disorders, sleepiness and the multiple NMS of PD. Principal component analyses and hierarchical multiple regression analyses were used to assess the relationship between the different NMS and the existence of sleep disorders. Results showed that sleep disorders are significant contributors to NMS in PD (p<0.001) with age (p=0.011), dopaminergic therapy (p=0.013), RBD (p=0.008), and RLS (p=0.013) as significant predictors of the NMS score. Additionally, having sleep disorders (i.e., RBD, RLS, OSA) significantly predicted reported nighttime sleep dysfunction (p<0.001), poor mood (p=0.002), increased fatigue (p=0.001), and reduced quality of life (p<0.001). However, having a sleep disorder did not significantly predict subjective or objective daytime sleepiness. In summary, this study showed that in the PD patient population, the presence of co-morbid sleep disorders predicts more NMS symptoms in general. More specifically, having sleep disorders (i.e., RBD, RLS, OSA) predicted increased reports of nighttime sleep dysfunction, poor mood, lower quality of life, and increased fatigue in this sample of PD patients. Of the sleep disorders assessed in this study, RBD and RLS were indicators of increased NMS but OSA was not. Further studies are now necessary to indicate if treatment of these sleep disorders will result in improved NMS and improved quality of life for PD patients and their caregivers

▼ It is estimated that 50 to 70 million Americans suffer from a chronic
sleep disorder, which hinders their daily life, affects their health, and incurs a significant economic burden to society. Untreated Periodic Leg Movement (PLM) or Rapid Eye Movement Behaviour Disorder (RBD) could lead to a three to four-fold increased risk of stroke and Parkinson’s disease respectively. These risks bring about the need for less costly and more available diagnostic tools that will have great potential for detection and prevention. The goal of this study is to investigate the potentially clinically relevant but under-explored relationship of the
sleep-related movement
disorders of PLMs and RBD with cerebrovascular diseases.
Our objective is to introduce a unique and efficient way of performing non-stationary signal analysis using sparse representation techniques. To fulfill this objective, at first, we develop a novel algorithm for Electromyogram (EMG) signals in
sleep based on sparse representation, and we use a generalized method based on Leave-One-Out (LOO) to perform classification for small size datasets.
In the second objective, due to the long-length of these EMG signals, the need for feature extraction algorithms that can localize to events of interest increases. To fulfill this objective, we propose to use the Non-Negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) algorithm by means of sparsity and dictionary learning. This allows us to represent a variety of EMG phenomena efficiently using a very compact set of spectrum bases.
Yet EMG signals pose severe challenges in terms of the analysis and extraction of discriminant features. To achieve a balance between robustness and classification performance, we aim to exploit deep learning and study the discriminant features of the EMG signals by means of dictionary learning, kernels, and sparse representation for classification. The classification performances that were achieved for detection of RBD and PLM by means of implicating these properties were 90% and 97% respectively.
The theoretical properties of the proposed approaches pertaining to pattern recognition and detection are examined in this dissertation. The multi-layer feature extraction provide strong and successful characterization and classification for the EMG non-stationary signals and the proposed sparse representation techniques facilitate the adaptation to EMG signal quantification in automating the identification process.
