Filter by:Postoperative sleep disorders have serious problems with cognition, pain perception, sustained circadian rhythm, psychomotor function, metabolic function, catabolic responses, and continuity. The relationship between general anesthesia and sleep disturbances following surgery is still unclear. Since the risk of sleep disorders after surgery is high, it is important to determine the efficiency of the interval with automatic sleep disorders. By evaluating how major orthopedic surgery and general anesthesia applied to posterior spinal instrumentation divides sleep quality, risk management allows determining the factors involved in the peroperative period and thus facilitating surgical results and patient comfort.
This study plans to explore whether specially chosen relaxing music can help improve sleep, reduce stress, and prevent burnout in healthcare workers, many of whom are often sleep-deprived. The researchers will measure changes in brain activity, sleep patterns, and self-reported stress levels before, during, and after participants listen to this music. The novel approach includes using advanced brain scanning technology, sleep monitoring devices, and carefully selected music. Ultimately, the aim is to create a scientifically backed music intervention that can be used widely to help healthcare providers get better sleep and manage stress, potentially reducing burnout rates.
Good and quality sleep, which has an important place in the lives of all living things; important for the health and well-being of children. Proper sleep habits are needed for quality and adequate sleep. According to the National Sleep Foundation, these habits include practices such as regular bedtimes, sleep routines, screen restrictions before bed. With the age of starting school in children; Due to the roles brought by school, lessons and social obligations, problems such as delay in bedtime and shorter sleep time are seen. Shortening of sleep time causes sleep deprivation. sleep deprivation; It is defined as a delay in bedtime and a shorter sleep time than would normally be due to intentional or daily activities. The use of sleep hygiene interventions to address sleep deprivation in children is highly effective. Sleep hygiene is a cost-effective method that is performed without the need for any additional material, consisting of both environmental and behavioral habits. In our study, a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest-control study design with a control group will be used to determine the effect of sleep hygiene education applied with the combined package program on sleep deprivation and sleep habits in children. After the necessary permissions are obtained, the classes will be divided into experiments and controls by drawing lots. To the experimental group; After the pre-test is applied, training and tasks will be given. In addition, a sleep hygiene policy will be sent to the families by phone every day. The total intervention will last four weeks, at the end of which a post-test will be administered. Two weeks will be waited without intervention, two weeks later the control measurement will be made. To the control group; Pre-test and post-test will be applied at the same time with the experimental group and training will be given after the post-test. The research data will be evaluated with the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) statistical program on the computer and in the form of numbers, percentages, averages and standard deviations for descriptive statistics in the computer environment and with necessary statistical analyzes. Significance will be accepted as p<0.05 at α=95% confidence interval.
The goal of this randomized crossover clinical trial is to determine if habitual sleeping habits can predict endurance performance following a night of partial sleep deprivation in healthy untrained, recreationally trained, and trained cyclists (18-50 years, ~50% females). The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Can habitual sleeping habits predict, or do different types of sleepers alter, performance outcomes following sleep deprivation? 2. Does sleep deprivation alter blood pressure, heart rate, or metabolic responses during a 20-minute time trial, and/or are these altered amongst different types of sleepers? 3. Can habitual sleeping habits predict, or do different types of sleepers alter, flow-mediated dilation following a night of normal sleep and/or sleep deprivation? - Participants will be asked to perform 4 performance tests (20-minute time trial), 2 for familiarization, and 2 testing visits (1 under normal sleep and 1 under partial sleep deprivation). - For 1 week prior to each testing visit, sleep will be tracked using an ActiGraph device. - During each testing visit, and prior to the performance test, the vascular function of the superficial femoral artery will be assessed using a flow-mediated dilation technique. The investigators hypothesize that habitual early sleepers, poor sleepers, those with greater variability in sleep duration, and females will show the greatest impairments in performance and flow-mediated dilation following partial sleep deprivation.
This study aims to examine the effectiveness of ammonia inhalants in countering the effects of total sleep deprivation on cognitive and physical performance tests relevant to military personnel.
The goal of this cross-over clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of 24 hours sleep deprivation on the Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex (VOR) in healthy participants. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. The effect of sleep deprivation on vestibular function. 2. The difference between passive and active VOR function following sleep deprivation. 3. The vergence mediated modulation ability of the VOR following sleep deprivation. 4. The effect of sleep deprivation on behavioral VOR function. Participants will be tested before and after a normal night sleep and during 24 hours of sleep deprivation.
This project aims to investigate executive functioning abilities (primary outcome) and quality of sleep (secondary outcome) in patients with COVID-19 (while distinguishing between those with and without sleep fragmentation), compared with an age- and education matched control group of healthy individuals who did not experience contagion. Prefrontal electrical activity will be recorded with EEG in patients, and related to sleep and cognitive-executive metrics. The main questions it aims to answer are: - is executive functioning impaired in COVID-19 patients compared with individuals who were not infected? - is there a relationship between altered sleep and impaired executive functioning in COVID-19 patients? - is such relationship related to altered prefrontal brain activitity in COVID-19 patients?
Sleep restriction increases overnight and early morning non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) levels, which are correlated with whole-body decreases in insulin sensitivity, consistent with the observed impairment of intracellular insulin signaling. Adipose tissue biopsies from sleep restricted subjects that are insulin stimulated have reduced phosphorylation of protein kinase B (pAKT). This protein is involved in suppression of intracellular lipolysis and NEFA release. Aerobic exercise has beneficial effects on postprandial lipemia and insulinemia in normal-weight and obese individuals. Acute moderate-intensity aerobic exercise (30-90 min) performed 12-18 h before an oral fat tolerance test or mixed meal test reduces postprandial triglycerides (TG) and insulin concentrations. This response is largely dependent upon the exercise-induced energy deficit as the response is abolished when the calories expended during exercise are replaced. However, it is not known if sleep restriction will interfere with the beneficial effects of prior exercise on postprandial lipemia. The aim of this project is to investigate if sleep restriction negates the positive effect that exercise has on postprandial lipemia. It is hypothesized that sleep restriction will negate the beneficial effects of prior exercise on postprandial lipemia. Additionally sleep restriction will result in a worsening of the lipid profile compared to no exercise. For the proposed study, the investigators will use a repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) (4 study conditions (no exercise+ sleep restriction, no exercise+normal sleep, exercise+normal sleep, exercise+sleep restriction) x time will be used to analyze changes in NEFA and TG concentrations while a one way ANOVA will be used to analyze area under the curve of the NEFA and TG concentrations.
One of the most common problems in patients in the postoperative period is pain and the associated deterioration in sleep quality. Deterioration in sleep quality can cause pain to be perceived more severely. It is recommended to use non-pharmacological approaches as well as pharmacological interventions in the management of these problems. This study was planned to determine the effect of hot foot bath and lavender essential oil foot bath application on postoperative sleep quality and pain in patients undergoing abdominal surgery.
Sleep deprivation impacts performance of shift workers in health care. Anesthesiologists are a population at risk that endures stressful situations and changing working hours. The decreased performance could be the cause for undesirable events. Power-napping is known to be an efficient technique to mitigate the detrimental effects of sleep deprivation and is a feasible measure to implement in critical care units. Still there are few insights that measure the clinical relevance in the field. With the high-fidelity simulations this study is able to measure clinical performance and test for those effects. Therefore we propose a prospective, monocentric study to evaluate a power-napping protocol (less than 30min)
