Time of night and first night effects on arousal response in healthy adults.
OBJECTIVE Several factors, such as homeostatic and circadian influences, may affect the density of cortical and subcortical arousals (AR). The purpose of this study was to examine the time-of-night and the first night effect on AR response. METHODS AR were classified into microarousals (MA), phases of transitory activation (PAT), delta (D-burst) and K-complex burst (K-burst). The AR density a...
متن کاملArousal Mechanisms: Speedy Flies Don’t Sleep at Night
Alertness and behavioral performance depend on an animal's level of arousal. In vertebrates, reinforcement and maintenance of arousal in the cortex are ensured by diffuse inputs from neurons releasing biogenic amine neuromodulators. Fruit flies similarly use dopamine for arousal control, indicating an ancient evolutionary origin of this essential feature of the functioning brain.
متن کاملStress and Arousal Circadian Rhythms in Smokers and Non-smokers Working Day and Night Shifts
Twenty smokers and twenty non-smokers completed a brief Mood State Questionnaire every 2 hours, over one day shift and one night shift. The subjects comprised male police ocers and factory workers, aged 23±57 years. Cigarette smokers reported signi®cantly higher stress levels than non-smokers on both day and night shifts p < 0:05. This con®rms previous ®ndings that smokers are often more str...
متن کاملNight-to-night variability in obstructive sleep apnea severity: relationship to overnight rostral fluid shift.
STUDY OBJECTIVES Overnight rostral fluid shift from the legs to the neck may narrow the pharynx and contribute to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) pathogenesis. We hypothesized that night-to-night changes in the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) would be associated with changes in overnight rostral fluid shift. METHODS Twenty-six patients with OSA (AHI ≥10) underwent two polysomnograms 14 days apart wi...
متن کاملConsistency of respiratory measurements from night to night during the sleep of elderly men.
Fourteen healthy elderly men had polysomnography performed on two consecutive nights to assess the consistency of sleep and breathing from night to night. The reported first-night effect was seen on electroencephalographic sleep, leading to lighter or fitful sleep on the first night. Mean values for apneas, hypopneas, and oxygen desaturations did not change from night 1 to night 2. Five of 14 s...
