In conclusion, age, sleep quality, physical activity, and music are factors that affect working memory capacity.

Effect of Sleep Quality and Duration on Jitter, Shimmer, and Harmonics-to-Noise Ratio among Colombian University Professors

Professors who sleep 6 or fewer hours are more likely to report voice symptoms. However, only three studies have been published on this topic, basing their conclusions on self-reported surveys and displaying an overall weak methodological quality, which hinders the generalization of these results. This exploratory, correlational, and longitudinal study aimed to determine the association between sleep quality and duration and three acoustic parameters linked to voice harmonicity and quality (jitter, shimmer, and Harmonics-to-Noise Ratio [HNR]) among 24 Colombian university professors. Generalized linear models with gamma distribution were used to analyze this association. Our results indicate that the professors who reported good sleep quality had significantly lower HNR values compared with those who had a low sleep quality. Additionally, increased jitter (B= 0.10) and shimmer (B= 0.10), and decreased HNR (B= -0.05) values were found when the duration of sleep increased. In contrast, participants with good self-perceived sleep quality and a shorter sleep duration presented lower voice harmonicity compared to those with bad sleep quality and shorter sleep duration, which may be associated with the physiological and emotional effects of sleep on voice production. Considering the multifactorial nature of voice production and the exploratory nature of the present study, it is important to note that a statistically significant correlation between sleep quality and duration and voice harmonicity does not necessarily imply that sleep directly causes voice disorders, but rather suggests that sleep is a variable to be considered when analyzing and treating individuals with voice issues. These findings provide insight into the complex interplay of variables that may contribute to voice disorders and highlight the importance of considering sleep as a potential contributing factor in the assessment and management of individuals with voice issues.

Sleep Quality in Women with Premenstrual Syndrome Is Associated with Metabolic Syndrome-Related Variables.

In this study, we examined whether metabolic syndrome (MetS)-related variables are simultaneously affected by sleep quality, premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and dietary consumption. In this cross-sectional study, data for 307 premenopausal women were available. The results showed that women experiencing PMS had significantly lower sleep quality and were more depressed and anxious (p < 0.001 for all). After the subjects were divided into groups according to PMS, the effect of sleep quality on MetS-related variables or MetS components significantly differed; only among women who experienced PMS were poor sleepers significantly higher in waist circumference (p = 0.018) and diastolic blood pressure (p = 0.012) than good sleepers. Among the MetS components, abdominal obesity in women with poor sleep quality was approximately three (16.9% vs. 3.0%, p= 0.020) times more common than in those with good sleep quality. However, these findings were not observed among those who did not experience PMS. Poor sleepers among women experiencing PMS consumed 2.8 times more alcoholic drinks than good sleepers (p = 0.006). The MetS-related variables in Korean women experiencing PMS are associated with sleep quality, and these associations may be modified by dietary habits.

The relationship between sleep quality and gait in people with multiple sclerosis: A pilot study.

Gait deficits are common among people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS). Therefore, investigating factors that may influence walking in PwMS is important. Previous studies in older adults and other neurological populations demonstrated the relationship between sleep quality and gait performance. Despite the fact that the prevalence of poor sleep quality is very high among PwMS, little is known about the effect of sleep quality on gait among PwMS. This study aimed to explore the relationship between sleep quality and gait performance in PwMS. Forty-one PwMS participated in the study between February 2019 and December 2019. Participants were asked to walk at a self-selected speed over 10 m with an inertial measurement unit (IMU) attached over the back. Walking speed, step length (left and right), and step time were calculated. Sleep was estimated objectively using a wrist-worn triaxle-accelerometer; the derived parameters were sleep efficiency (SE) and the number of awakening after sleep onset (NASO). SE significantly correlated with step length (). Furthermore, the NASO significantly correlated with gait speed (), and step-time (). These correlations remained significant even after adjusting for age and disease duration. We observed that when corrected for disease duration and age there were relationships between NASO and SE to gait parameters; these observations warrant further investigations.

Health Effects of Sleep Quality in Premutation Carrier Mothers of Individuals With Fragile X Syndrome.

Sleep plays an integral role in supporting well-being, and sleep difficulties are common in mothers of individuals with developmental disabilities, including fragile X syndrome (FXS). This study assessed whether the effects of sleep quality on physical health and depression are exacerbated by genetic risk factors (CGG repeats) in FMR1 premutation carrier mothers of individuals with FXS. Poor sleep quality predicted a greater number of physical health conditions for mothers with CGG repeats in the mid-premutation range (90-110 repeats), but not for those in the lower (< 90 repeats) or higher (> 110 repeats) ends of the range. A significant association between poor sleep quality and maternal depressive symptoms was also observed, but there was no evidence that this effect varied by level of genetic vulnerability. This research extends our understanding of individual differences in the effects of sleep quality among mothers of individuals with FXS.

Effects of sleep quality on suicide risk in COVID-19 patients: The chain mediating of anxiety and depressive symptoms

BackgroundAlthough current studies have identified sleep disorders as an independent risk factor for suicide, the relationship between sleep disorders and suicide risk has not been well established. This study explored whether anxiety and depressive symptoms are used as mediators to participate in the impact of sleep quality on suicide risk. MethodsThis is a cross-sectional study. We administered a psychological questionnaire to the participants, using a combination of self-assessment and psychiatrist assessment.Sleep quality, suicide risk, level of anxiety and depressive symptoms were assessed by PSQI, NGASR, SAS and SDS.The study subjects were 391 hospitalized COVID-19 patients from Wuhan hospitals. We used model 6 in the PROCESS (version 3.5) plug-in of SPSS software to conduct mediation test with sleep quality as the independent variable, suicide risk as the dependent variable, level of anxiety and depressive symptoms as intermediate variables. ResultsThe severity of anxiety and depressive symptoms and the risk of suicide in the sleep disorder group (63.15 ± 13.71, 59.85 ± 13.38, 6.52 ± 3.67) were higher than those in the non-sleep disorder group (49.83 ± 13.14, 44.87 ± 10.19, 2.87 ± 3.26) (P < 0.001). The mediation model works well, The total indirect effect was 0.22 (95%CI = [0.17, 0.28]), and the direct effect was 0.16 (95%CI = [0.08, 0.24]). LimitationsThis study used a self-assessment scale. ConclusionsAnxiety and depressive symptoms played a chain mediating role between sleep quality and suicide risk.

Separating the influences of means and daily variations of sleep on the stress-induced salivary cortisol response

BackgroundPrevious research regarding the effects of sleep quality and quantity on the acute stress response has yielded inconsistent findings. This may be attributed to various factors, including composite sleep components (i.e., means and daily variations) and mixed cortisol stress response (i.e., reactivity and recovery). Thus, this study aimed to separate the effects of means and daily variations of sleep on the reactivity and recovery of cortisol responses to psychological challenges. MethodsIn study 1, we recruited 41 healthy participants (24 women; age range, 18–23 years), monitored their sleep during seven consecutive days via wrist actigraphy and sleep diaries, and adopted the Trier Social Stress Test (TSST) paradigm to induce acute stress. Study 2 consisted of a validation experiment using the ScanSTRESS paradigm, which included 77 additional healthy individuals (35 women; age range, 18–26 years). Similarly to the TSST, the ScanSTRESS induces acute stress using uncontrollability and social evaluation. In both studies, saliva samples from the participants were collected before, during, and after the acute stress task. ResultsUsing residual dynamic structural equation modeling, both study 1 and study 2 demonstrated that higher means of objective sleep efficiency, and longer means of objective sleep duration were related to greater cortisol recovery. In addition, fewer daily variations in objective sleep duration were associated with greater cortisol recovery. However, there was no correlation between sleep variables and cortisol reactivity, except for the daily variations in objective sleep duration in study 2. No correlation was observed between subjective sleep and cortisol response to stress. ConclusionsThe present study separated two features of multi-day sleep patterns and two components of cortisol stress response, providing a more comprehensive picture of the effect of sleep on the stress-induced salivary cortisol response, and contributing to the future development of targeted interventions for stress-related disorders.

Effects of Sleep Quality and Quantity on Academic Performace and Feeling of Medical Students

Abstract Background: the performance of students in their academic life is reflected by their sleep habits and timing, this research has been done in order to get a deeper understanding of the relationship between quality and quantity of sleep and academic performance among the medical students of Ovidius University. Methods: The study was conducted on 30 randomly selected medical students of Ovidius University (English division), 55% male and 45% female, by collecting their sleep timing for 2 weeks, followed by a self-report questionnaire (PSQI) to obtain more details. Furthermore, PSQI global scale (pittsburgh sleep quality index) was used to assess the sleep quality over a 2 week time interval. Regarding the academic performance, students were divided based on their grades into three categories (excellent, very good, good). Result: difference in students’ academic performance was noticed, 36% got an excellent performance, 45% got a very good performance, 19% got a good performance, medication usage was not reported by most students (87%), yet a small number (3%) used medication to sleep better. The average sleeping time for male 6h29, female 6h25, the sleeping rate was the same for both genders 3.2 out of 5, PSQI scale for female was 6.98 points and for male it was slightly higher with 0.4 points which indicates they have a worse sleeping habit.

Effect of Sleep Quality on Cognitive and Physiological Functions among Patients Admitted in Medical Wards

Introduction: Sleep is crucial for the survival of a human being as food. It helps to increase physiological and cognitive functions. Sleep is defined as transformable condition, where there is a withdrawal from the extrinsic environment. Sleep permits to rejuvenate the physical and physiological function. Disrupted sleep also leads to brain dysfunction and hemodynamic alterations. Materials and Methods: A quasi-experimental study was considered to attain the objectives of the study. On probability, convenient sampling was done. The pre-interventional data were collected on day 0. Eye mask and ear plug were given as intervention from day 1 to day 3.and data were collected on each day. Results: The study was conducted on 60 samples. The study reveals that majority of patients were between 40 and 59 years and out of 60 patients, majority of the patients were female It was found that the patients average sleeping hours at home were 6–9 h and patients had no difficulty in initiating sleep in normal routine sleep. Patients had deprived sleep due to continuous light and sound. The sleep status is improved from day 1 to day 3. There was significant relationship between the heart rate, blood pressure, respiration, and sleep quality; there was no significant relationship between cognitive function and sleep. Conclusion: The present study reveals that the sleep quality was enhanced by the application of eye mask and ear plug which led to changes in the physiological parameters such as blood pressure and heart rate. The blood pressure came down to normal limit with sleep quality

Association of sleep duration and sleep quality with the risk of metabolic syndrome in adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

The association between sleep duration and metabolic syndrome (MetS) remains controversial, and few have considered the effects of sleep quality. We performed a meta-analysis to clarify the relationship of sleep duration and sleep quality with the risk of MetS. We conducted a systematic and comprehensive literature search of electronic databases from inception to 17 February 2022. The effect sizes of covariates from each study were pooled using a random or fixed model, and a restricted cubic spline random-effects meta-analysis was performed to examine the dose-response relationship between sleep duration and MetS. A total of 62 studies were included in this meta-analysis. Compared to normal sleep duration, short sleep duration [odds ratio (OR) = 1.14, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.10-1.19] and long sleep duration (OR = 1.15, 95% CI: 1.09-1.23) were associated with an increased risk of MetS. The restricted cubic spline analysis indicated that sleep durations of 8.5 h (OR = 0.95, 95% CI: 0.92-0.97) and 11 h (OR = 1.58, 95% CI: 1.31-1.91) were significantly associated with the risk of MetS. The pooled results showed that poor sleep quality (OR = 1.46, 95% CI: 1.03-2.06) and sleep complaints had significant positive associations with MetS. Our results demonstrated that short sleep duration increased the risk of developing MetS. Long sleep duration was also associated with MetS, especially for 11 h. 8.5 h can be considered the recommended sleep duration for MetS. Poor sleep quality and sleep complaints were also associated with MetS.

Worse sleep quality predicts early drop out from physical exercise programs

Sleep quality (SQ) benefits from regular physical exercise (PE) practice, but the effect of SQ over behavioral aspects of PE is not well known. In this study, we tested whether sleep variables can predict the drop out risk for PE programs during a six-week critical period for habit formation at gyms. We assessed 153 volunteers, freshly enrolled at three different gyms and from both sexes, with average age of 33.6 (±11.9) years. Questionnaires provided sociodemographic, health, sleep, physical activity and circadian rhythmicity information. Daily PE practice frequency was monitored using the gym's turnstiles electronic records. We created a multivariate model using Cox regression in order to test the risk of PE program drop out during the first six weeks. Worse SQ predicted a higher drop out risk (HR=1.11; 95%CI = 1.02-1.21; p<0.05), even when adjusted for other potential confounding variables. We found that worse SQ predicted a higher early drop out from PE programs in the formal context of gyms during the first six weeks, along with other variables related to PE practice.

The Effect of Sleep Quality and Mental Fatigue on the Learning Rate of Shift Workers with Fast Shift Work Rotation.

Modern industrial societies are always prone to errors and accidents due to complex devices, multitasking, and shift work jobs. Therefore, behavioral tests in learning and memory are necessary to evaluate employees' perceptions to examine the brain's information processing and the physiological and psychological aspects of memory disorders. In this study, the effect of fast shift rotation, sleep quality, and mental fatigue on individuals' learning and memory was investigated using a maze device. Participants were divided into two groups (regular daytime workers and shift workers). The quality of sleep was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and the rate of mental fatigue was evaluated using a checklist published by the Japan Industrial Safety and Health Association. Learning time and the number of learning errors at the beginning and end of the morning shifts and night shifts had a significant relationship (P value <0.0001). However, there was no meaningful relationship between sleep quality and time and the number of learning errors in day workers and shift workers. The results indicated that although shift workers experience rapid shift rotation, they are still exposed to this circadian sleep change's side effects such as general physical fatigue, sensory-neurological fatigue, poor perceived sleep quality, daily dysfunction, difficulty in learning, and memory. They show a significant difference compared to people working on a regular workday.
