abstract = {Sleep loss affects human behavior in a nonuniform manner, depending
on the cognitive domain and also the circadian phase. Besides, evidence
exists about stable interindividual variations in sleep loss–related performance
impairments. Despite this evidence, only a few studies have considered both
circadian phase and neurobehavioral domain when investigating trait-like
vulnerability to sleep manipulation. By applying a randomized, crossover
design with 2 sleep pressure conditions (40 h sleep deprivation vs. 40 h multiple
naps), we investigated the influence of a human adenosine deaminase
(ADA) polymorphism (rs73598374) on several behavioral measures throughout
nearly 2 circadian cycles. Confirming earlier studies, we observed that
under sleep deprivation the previously reported vulnerable G/A-allele carriers
felt overall sleepier than G/G-allele carriers. As expected, this difference
was no longer present when sleep pressure was reduced by the application of
multiple naps. Concomitantly, well-being was worse in the G/A genotype
under sleep loss when compared to the nap protocol, and n-back working
memory performance appeared to be specifically susceptible to sleep-wake
manipulation in this genotype. When considering psychomotor vigilance performance, however, a higher sensitivity to sleep-wake manipulation was detected in homozygous participants, but specifically at the end of the night
and only for optimal task performance. Although these data are based on a
small sample size and hence require replication (12 G/A- and 12 G/G-allele
carriers), they confirm the assumption that interindividual differences regarding
the effect of sleep manipulation highly depend on the cognitive task and
circadian phase, and thus emphasize the necessity of a multimethodological
approach. Moreover, they indicate that napping might be suitable to counteract endogenously heightened sleep pressure depending on the neurobehavioral
domain.},

abstract = {Under sleep loss, vigilance is reduced and attentional failures emerge progressively. It becomes difficult to maintain stable performance over time, leading to growing performance variability (i.e., state instability) in an individual and among subjects. Task duration plays a major role in the maintenance of stable vigilance levels, such that the longer the task, the more likely state instability will be observed. Vulnerability to sleep-loss-dependent performance decrements is highly individual and is also modulated by a polymorphism in the human clock gene PERIOD3 (PER3). By combining two different protocols, we manipulated sleep-wake history by once extending wakefulness for 40 h (high sleep pressure condition) and once by imposing a short sleep-wake cycle by alternating 160 min of wakefulness and 80 min naps (low sleep pressure condition) in a within-subject design. We observed that homozygous carriers of the long repeat allele of PER3 (PER35/5) experienced a greater time-on-task dependent performance decrement (i.e., a steeper increase in the number of lapses) in the Psychomotor Vigilance Task compared to the carriers of the short repeat allele (PER34/4). These genotype-dependent effects disappeared under low sleep pressure conditions, and neither motivation, nor perceived effort accounted for these differences. Our data thus suggest that greater sleep-loss related attentional vulnerability based on the PER3 polymorphism is mirrored by a greater state instability under extended wakefulness in the short compared to the long allele carriers. Our results undermine the importance of time-on-task related aspects when investigating inter-individual differences in sleep loss-induced behavioral vulnerability.},

abstract = {The onset of melatonin secretion in the evening is the most reliable and most widely used index of circadian timing
in humans. Saliva (or plasma) is usually sampled every 0.5–1 hours under dim-light conditions in the evening
5–6 hours before usual bedtime to assess the dim-light melatonin onset (DLMO). For many years, attempts have been
made to find a reliable objective determination of melatonin onset time either by fixed or dynamic threshold
approaches. The here-developed hockey-stick algorithm, used as an interactive computer-based approach, fits
the evening melatonin profile by a piecewise linear-parabolic function represented as a straight line switching to the
branch of a parabola. The switch point is considered to reliably estimate melatonin rise time. We applied the hockeystick
method to 109 half-hourly melatonin profiles to assess the DLMOs and compared these estimates to visual
ratings from three experts in the field. The DLMOs of 103 profiles were considered to be clearly quantifiable.
The hockey-stick DLMO estimates were on average 4 minutes earlier than the experts’ estimates, with a range of 27
to þ13 minutes; in 47% of the cases the difference fell within 5 minutes, in 98% within 20 to þ13 minutes.
The raters’ and hockey-stick estimates showed poor accordance with DLMOs defined by threshold methods. Thus,
the hockey-stick algorithm is a reliable objective method to estimate melatonin rise time, which does not depend on
a threshold value and is free from errors arising from differences in subjective circadian phase estimates. The method
is available as a computerized program that can be easily used in research settings and clinical practice either for
salivary or plasma melatonin values.

sleepiness and psychomotor vigilance performance. Twenty healthy young men and women (10/10) kept a regular
sleep–wake cycle during the 2-week study. The volunteers reported to the laboratory on three evenings, 2 h 15 min
before usual bedtime, on average at 21:45 h. They were exposed to three different light conditions, each lasting for
12 min: extraocular bright light via the ear canal, ocular bright light as an active control condition and a control
condition (extraocular light therapy device with completely blacked out LEDs). The timing of exposure was on
average from 22:48 to 23:00 h. During the 2-h protocol, saliva samples were collected in 15-min intervals for melatonin
assays along with subjective sleepiness ratings, and the volunteers performed a 10-min visual psychomotor vigilance
task (PVT) prior to and after each light condition. The evening melatonin rise was significantly attenuated after the 12-
min ocular bright light exposure while no significant changes were observed after the extraocular bright light and
sham light condition. Subjective sleepiness decreased immediately over a short period only after ocular light
exposure. No significant differences were observed for mean reaction times and the number of lapses for the PVT
between the three light conditions. We conclude that extraocular transcranial light exposure in the late evening does
not suppress melatonin, reduce subjective sleepiness or improve performance, and therefore, does not acutely
influence the human circadian timing system.

abstract = {Age-related disturbances of the sleep-wake cycle can reflect ontogenetic changes in regulatory mechanisms underlying
normal and pathological aging, but the exact nature of these changes remains unclear. The present report is the
first attempt to apply principal component analysis to the electroencephalographic (EEG) spectrum to examine of whether
the observed age-related changes in the objective sleep measures can be linked to the opponent sleep-promoting and
wake-promoting processes. The EEG indicators of these processes - scores on the 1st and 2nd principal components of the
EEG spectrum, respectively - were compared in 15 older (57-74 years) and 16 younger (20-31 years) healthy volunteers.
The scores were calculated for non-REM sleep episodes which occurred during ten 75-min naps scheduled every 150 min
throughout a 40-h constant routine protocol. Both, a decrease of the 1st principal component score and an increase of the
2nd principal component score were found to contribute to such most obvious age-related modification of the sleep EEG
spectrum as attenuation of EEG slow-wave activity in older people. Therefore, we concluded that the normal aging process
can reflect both a weakening of the sleep-promoting process and a strengthening of the wake-promoting process, respectively.
Such bidirectional changes in chronoregulatory processes may explain why sleep of older people is characterized
by the few profitable and a number of detrimental features (i.e., a better ability to cope with daytime sleepiness and
sleep loss vs. difficulty of falling asleep, decreased total nighttime sleep, “lightened” and fragmentized sleep, unwanted
early morning awakenings, etc.)},

Thus there is a need to assess daytime sleepiness in clinical practice and transplant registries. Objective—To evaluate the validity of a single-item measure of daytime sleepiness integrated in the Swiss Transplant Cohort Study (STCS), using the American Educational Research Association framework. Methods—Using a cross-sectional design, we enrolled a convenience sample of 926 home-dwelling kidney transplant recipients (median age, 59.69 years; 25%-75% quartile [Q25-Q75], 50.27-59.69), 63% men; median time since transplant 9.42 years (Q25-Q75, 4.93-15.85). Daytime sleepiness was assessed by using a single item from the STCS and the 8 items of the validated Epworth Sleepiness Scale. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was used to determine the cutoff for the STCS daytime sleepiness item against the Epworth Sleepiness Scale score. Results—Based on the receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, a score greater than 4 on the STCS daytime sleepiness item is recommended to detect daytime sleepiness. Content validity was high as all expert reviews were unanimous. Concurrent validity was moderate (Spearman ρ, 0.531; P< .001) and convergent validity with depression and poor sleep quality although low, was significant (ρ, 0.235; P<.001 and ρ, 0.318},

abstract = {Background: Poor sleep quality (SQ) and daytime sleepiness (DS) are common in renal transplant (RTx) recipients; however, related data are rare. This study describes the prevalence and frequency of self-reported sleep disturbances in RTx recipients. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 249 RTx recipients transplanted at three Swiss transplant centers. All had reported poor SQ and / or DS in a previous study. With the Survey of Sleep (SOS) self-report questionnaire, we screened for sleep and health habits, sleep history, main sleep problems and sleep-related disturbances. To determine a basis for preliminary sleep diagnoses according to the International Classification of Sleep Disorders (ICSD), 164 subjects were interviewed (48 in person, 116 via telephone and 85 refused). Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data and to determine the frequencies and prevalences of specific sleep disorders. Results: The sample had a mean age of 59.1 ± 11.6 years (60.2% male); mean time since Tx was 11.1 ± 7.0 years. The most frequent sleep problem was difficulty staying asleep (49.4%), followed by problems falling asleep (32.1%). The most prevalent sleep disturbance was the need to urinate (62.9%), and 27% reported reduced daytime functionality. Interview data showed that most suffered from the first ICSD category: insomnias. Conclusion: Though often disregarded in RTx recipients, sleep is an essential factor of wellbeing. Our findings show high prevalences and incidences of insomnias, with negative impacts on daytime functionality. This indicates a need for further research on the clinical consequences of sleep disturbances and the benefits of insomnia treatment in RTx recipients.

In contrast, there is a great deal of folklore but no consistent association of moon cycles with human physiology and behavior [3]. Here we show that subjective and objective measures of sleep vary according to lunar phase and thus may reflect circalunar rhythmicity in humans. To exclude confounders such as increased light at night or the potential bias in perception regarding a lunar influence on sleep, we retrospectively analyzed sleep structure, electroencephalographic activity during non-rapid-eye-movement (NREM) sleep, and secretion of the hormones melatonin and cortisol found under stringently controlled laboratory conditions in a cross-sectional setting. At no point during and after the study were volunteers or investigators aware of the a posteriori analysis relative to lunar phase. We found that around full moon, electroencephalogram (EEG) delta activity during NREM sleep, an indicator of deep sleep, decreased by 30%, time to fall asleep increased by 5 min, and EEG-assessed total sleep duration was reduced by 20 min. These changes were associated with a decrease in subjective sleep quality and diminished endogenous melatonin levels. This is the first reliable evidence that a lunar rhythm can modulate sleep structure in humans when measured under the highly controlled conditions of a circadian laboratory study protocol without time cues. },

However, the impact of blue-enriched polychromatic light on human sleep architecture and sleep electroencephalographic activity remains fairly unknown. In this study we investigated sleep structure and sleep electroencephalographic characteristics of 30 healthy young participants (16 men, 14 women; age range 20–31 years) following 2 h of evening light exposure to polychromatic light at 6500 K, 2500 K and 3000 K. Sleep structure across the ﬁrst three non-rapid eye movement non-rapid eye movement – rapid eye movement sleep cycles did not differ signiﬁcantly with respect to the light
conditions. All-night non-rapid eye movement sleep electroencephalographic power density indicated that exposure to light at 6500 K resulted in a tendency for less frontal non-rapid eye movement electroencephalographic power density, compared to light at 2500 K and 3000 K. The dynamics of non-rapid eye movement electroencephalographic slow wave activity (2.0–4.0 Hz), a functional index of homeostatic sleep pressure, were such that slow wave activity was reduced signiﬁcantly during the ﬁrst sleep cycle after light at 6500 K compared to light at 2500 K and 3000 K, particularly in the frontal derivation. Our data suggest that exposure to blue-enriched polychromatic light at relatively low room light levels impacts upon homeostatic sleep regulation, as indexed by reduction in frontal slow wave activity during the ﬁrst nonrapid eye movement episode.},
