Infant sleep machines and hazardous sound pressure levels.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Infant "sleep machines" (ISMs) produce ambient noise or noise to mask other sounds in an infant's room with the goal of increasing uninterrupted sleep. We suggest that the consistent use of these devices raises concerns for increasing an infant's risk of noise-induced hearing loss. We therefore sought to determine the maximum output levels of these sleep machines. MET...
متن کاملParenting and infant sleep.
Infant sleep undergoes dramatic evolution during the first year of life. This process is driven by underlying biological forces but is highly dependent on environmental cues including parental influences. In this review the links between infant sleep and parental behaviors, cognitions, emotions and relationships as well as psychopathology are examined within the context of a transactional model...
متن کاملSleep and Infant Learning.
Human neonates spend the majority of their time sleeping. Despite the limited waking hours available for environmental exploration, the first few months of life are a time of rapid learning about the environment. The organization of neonate sleep differs qualitatively from adult sleep, and the unique characteristics of neonatal sleep may promote learning. Sleep contributes to infant learning in...
متن کاملSound Pressure Levels in 2 Veterinary Intensive Care Units
BACKGROUND Intensive care units (ICUs) in human hospitals are consistently noisy environments with sound levels sufficient to substantially decrease sleep quality. Sound levels in veterinary ICUs have not been studied previously, but environmental sound has been shown to alter activity in healthy dogs. HYPOTHESIS Veterinary ICUs, like those in human medicine, will exceed international guideli...
متن کاملAccuracy of prediction methods for impact sound pressure levels
There are various methods available for predicting impact sound pressure levels of floors. Understanding the accuracy of these prediction methods can be an important aspect of designing or refining a proposed flooring system. This paper provides a brief outline of some available prediction methods for massive (typically concrete) floors and light weight floor constructions. Consideration is giv...
