Filter by:A home placement, randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled, study to determine the effect of dietary liquid shot beverage products on self-reported measures of sleep, stress and mood on generally healthy participants with current self-reported mild/moderate sleep difficulties (but not clinical insomnia) and mild/moderate stress.
The purpose of this study is to examine the possible benefits of peanut butter consumption prior to bedtime on sleep and energy levels among fire fighters. Fire fighters require high levels of energy to perform their occupational tasks but commonly lack sleep as well as the amount of dietary protein and fat suggested for tactical athletes. By addressing this gap, we expect that if peanut butter consumption is shown to improve sleep and/or energy, this lifestyle change (peanut butter consumption) may be appealing to fire fighters because of the ease and low cost of peanut butter. Aim 1: Determine if consuming peanut butter prior to bedtime alters measures of sleep quality and quantity in fire fighters. It is hypothesized that firefighters who consume the peanut butter will have positive impacts in measure of sleep quality and energy levels. Aim 2: Examine the effects of peanut butter consumption on morning and evening energy levels
The goal of this study is to learn if a smartwatch is effective to identify factors related to sleep quality and habits of adults (30 years old or more), enabling the improvement and/or creation of instruments to assess overall health status and sleep quality. The main question it aims to answer is: - Does the smartwatch application (software) indicate sleep habits and measure sleep quality in accordance to the standardized clinical instruments commonly used to assess sleep?
The investigators define the Invisible Preparation (IP) as the set of health behaviors that young athletes implement, on their own, to optimize their health and performances. This includes sleep, nutrition and hydration, physical well-being (injuries prevention) and mental well-being. If some studies have reported a lack of compliance in young athletes regarding sleep and hydration recommendations, the literature is poor in this field. The CMS (Brest Metropolitan Area Sports Medicine Centre, France) aims at preserving the health of young athletes. Prior to their medical examination, the patients will be asked, all along the year 2024, to fill out a form that question them about their health behaviors in the four areas of the IP. Under the direction of the Brest University Hospital, PRICELESS (Invisible Preparation of Middle and High School Students in Sports Institutions) study will try, based on their answers, to estimate the proportion of young athletes who declare adopting the health behaviors recommended in the IP.
In this study, a two-part recursive convolutional neural networks model was developed, extracting features for each epoch window independently from before and after sleep onset (epoch encoder), and then trained in the context of long-term relationships in the sleep process (sequence encoder), using an approach similar to human expert classification based on information from single-channel forehead EEG and PPG (IR, Green, Red). The classification is based on guidelines from the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and calculated six parameters: total sleep duration (TST), wake (W), N1, N2, N3, and REM. The validation study of the developed model and the device was conducted at the Sleep Disorders Centre of the Istanbul Medical Faculty using concurrent polysomnographic data from 305 male and female patients aged 18 to 65 years.
Coronary artery bypass surgery (CABC) is a commonly performed surgical procedure for the treatment of blockages in the heart vessels. This surgical intervention aims to improve the blood circulation of the patients' heart muscle. However, after CABC, patients may experience symptoms arising from the effect of the operation. These symptoms include shortness of breath, chest pain, sleep problems and a general feeling of restlessness. These symptoms occur as a result of the operation and can limit patients' daily activities, negatively affect their quality of life, and make the rehabilitation process difficult. Diaphragmatic breathing exercise can be an effective strategy for managing symptoms after CABC. This exercise involves deep and controlled breathing and aims to strengthen respiratory muscles, increase lung capacity and improve respiratory efficiency. Diaphragmatic breathing exercise helps breathing occur more efficiently by reducing the movement of the chest wall and can reduce patients' breathing difficulties. Diaphragmatic breathing exercise provides relaxation in the body by calming the sympathetic nervous system and can reduce stress during the sleep process. In this way, patients can experience a deeper and more restful sleep and feel more energetic when they wake up. At the same time, diaphragmatic breathing exercise improves mental state and reduces the effects of stress by providing focus and mental relaxation. This thesis study aims to investigate the effect of diaphragmatic breathing exercise applied to patients undergoing CABC on symptom severity, sleep quality and anxiety. The importance of this study is that it has great potential for managing symptoms after CABC and improving patients' quality of life. Diaphragmatic breathing exercise is expected to be effective in reducing symptoms after CABC, allowing patients to improve their respiratory functions and general health status. Additionally, investigating the effects of this exercise on patients' sleep quality and anxiety may help nurses adopt a more holistic approach in healthcare delivery.
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study assessing the impact of health and wellness products on sleep and related health outcomes.
The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of a morning exercise intervention on sleep (quality and duration), mood (positive affect, anxiety, depression, anger), stress and productivity among undergraduate students (18-23 years) evening-exercisers with poor self-reported sleep quality. Aim 1. Compared to the control condition, evening-exercisers prescribed morning exercise will exhibit improved sleep quality (increased efficiency, decreased fragmentation) and increased sleep duration. Aim 2. Compared to the control condition, evening-exercisers prescribed morning exercise will exhibit improved mood (increased positive affect, decreased depression, anxiety and anger). Aim 3. Compared to the control condition, evening-exercisers prescribed morning exercise will exhibit decreased stress and increased productivity.
This study investigates the correlation between a history of concussions and its effects on both sleep patterns and physical performance among athletes engaged in contact sports. By examining the relationship between concussion history, sleep quality, and athletic performance, this research aims to provide insights into the potential long-term implications of concussions on the well-being and performance of athletes in contact sports
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is one of the most common chronic childhood diseases. Recent studies have highlighted the strong association between type 1 diabetes and sleep health problems. Sleep problems have been reported to include sleep onset, sleep maintenance, frequent nighttime awakenings, and daytime sleepiness. Studies show that children with T1D sleep significantly less than their peers without diabetes, and that this is associated with poorer glycemic control in type 1 diabetes due to impaired glucose metabolism. This study aimed to compare sleep health composite dimensions and chronotype in children and adolescents with and without T1D, and to explore the relationship between sleep and glycemic variability in T1D. The study was designed as a prospective observational case-control study. The estimated sample size is calculated as 168. The sleep health composite dimensions were measured using actigraphy, sleep diaries, and self- or parental reports. Sleep disturbance will be assessed using the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders (DSM-5) Level 2-Sleep Disturbance Scale Short Form, and the Children's Chronotype Questionnaire will be used to determine the chronotype. Sleep/wake patterns were also assessed using sleep diaries. Glycemic variability was assessed using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) device parameters.
