Functional link between distal vasodilation and sleep-onset latency?
Thermoregulatory processes have long been implicated in initiation of human sleep. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of heat loss in sleep initiation, under the controlled conditions of a constant-routine protocol modified to permit nocturnal sleep. Heat loss was indirectly measured by means of the distal-to-proximal skin temperature gradient (DPG). A stepwise regression analys...
متن کاملCold feet and prolonged sleep-onset latency in vasospastic syndrome.
People with vasospastic syndrome have cold hands and feet and abnormal vasoconstriction after local cold exposure. Normally there is a circadian rhythm of distal vasodilation, with onset in the early evening, which directly influences ability to fall asleep. We gave a sleep questionnaire to 32 patients with primary vasospastic syndrome and 31 healthy controls. People with vasospasticity had sig...
متن کاملIntroduction Difficulty Falling Asleep and Excessive Day- Time Sleepiness Are Frequently Reported Symp- Toms in a Broad Range of Clinical Conditions
DIFFICULTY FALLING ASLEEP AND EXCESSIVE DAYTIME SLEEPINESS ARE FREQUENTLY REPORTED SYMPTOMS IN A BROAD RANGE OF CLINICAL CONDITIONS. The objective measure of sleep onset latency (SOL) in these disorders is traditionally based on electrophysiological measures obtained from nocturnal polysomnography (PSG) and/or multiple sleep latency tests (MSLT). Whereas these clinical tests provide accurate in...
متن کاملAn Android Application for Estimating Muscle Onset Latency using Surface EMG Signal
Background: Electromyography (EMG) signal processing and Muscle Onset Latency (MOL) are widely used in rehabilitation sciences and nerve conduction studies. The majority of existing software packages provided for estimating MOL via analyzing EMG signal are computerized, desktop based and not portable; therefore, experiments and signal analyzes using them should be completed locally. Moreover, a...
متن کاملThe effect of mood on sleep onset latency and REM sleep in interepisode bipolar disorder.
The present study investigates whether interepisode mood regulation impairment contributes to disturbances in sleep onset latency (SOL) and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. Individuals with interepisode bipolar disorder (n = 28) and healthy controls (n = 28) slept in the laboratory for 2 baseline nights, a happy mood induction night, and a sad mood induction night. There was a significant intera...
