JOURNAL OF SLEEP AND SLEEP DISORDERS RESEARCH

Pediatric sleep research is rather new in Estonia. There has not been a comprehensive study of age specific sleep disorders in Estonian children. The aim of this study was to investigate sleep disorders in a sample of Estonian second grade children.

In general, participants found the measure to be relevant to their sleep symptoms, providing statements such as "sounds like me in a nutshell," and when asked about the item relevance, stating "all are relevant." However,[r]

Production of melatonin during each day's main sleep period was inferred from urinary 6-sulphatoxymelatonin (aMT6s) excretion rates. All urine passed during a main sleep period was collected in a plastic bottle. At the end of the sleep period, participants voided u[r]

Conclusion
With a single day of a 2-hour bright light pulse at night and a 4-hour delay of the sleep episode, the human circa- dian clock can be delayed an average of ~1.5 hours. This is a larger delay than studies that have administered a sin- gle phase delaying[r]

An occasional night of poor sleep, typically in the setting of stress or excitement about external events, is both common and without lasting consequences. However, persistent insomnia can lead to impaired daytime function, injury due to[r]

The timing and internal architecture of sleep are directly coupled to the output of the endogenous circadian pacemaker. Paradoxically, the endogenous circadian rhythms of sleep tendency, sleepiness, and REM sleep p[r]

In the present study, the alteration in the sleep EEG in rats due to chronic exposure to low-level non-thermal electromagnetic radiation was investigated. Two types of radiation fields were used; 900 MHz unmodulated wave and 900 MHz modulated at 8 and 16 Hz waves. Animals has exposed to radiation fi[r]

Melatonin secretion is not dependent upon the occurrence of sleep, persisting in individuals kept awake at night. In addition, exogenous melatonin increases sleepiness and increases sleep duration when administered to healthy adults attempt[r]

Sleep problems are a major risk factor for the emergence of depression in adolescence. The aim of this study was to test whether an intervention for improving sleep habits could prevent the emergence of depression, and improve well-being and cardiovascular indices amongst at-risk adolescents.
