Electrophysiological Assessment of Attention Bias in Good vs. Poor Sleepers

The presence of a perseverative iterative style in poor vs. good sleepers.

Catastrophizing is present in worriers and poor sleepers. This study investigates whether poor sleepers possess a 'perseverative iterative style' which predisposes them to catastrophize any topic, regardless of content or affective valence, a style previously found to occur more commonly in worriers as compared to others. Poor (n=23) and good sleepers (n=37) were distinguished using the Pittsbu...

Sleep hygiene practices of good and poor sleepers in the United States: an internet-based study.

This Internet-based investigation assessed the frequency of multiple sleep hygiene practices in 128 good sleepers and 92 poor sleepers (mean age = 41.6, SD = 12.8, 61.8% women). The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index was used to measure sleep quality (< 5 = good sleep, > 7 = poor sleep). Although sleep hygiene practices were generally good, poor sleepers showed increased cognitive activity in the b...

A practical validation study of a commercial accelerometer using good and poor sleepers

We validated a Fitbit sleep tracking device against typical research-use actigraphy across four nights on 38 young adults. Fitbit devices overestimated sleep and were less sensitive to differences compared to the Actiwatch, but nevertheless captured 88 (poor sleepers) to 98 percent (good sleepers) of Actiwatch estimated sleep time changes. Bland-Altman analysis shows that the average difference...
