Although evening preference has recently been identified as a risk factor for depression, it not substantiated whether is direct depressive states, or if associated secondarily through other factors, such delayed sleep timing and shortened duration. The objective of this study to investigate associations in Japanese adult subjects between incidence adjusting various parameters related states. Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ), the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Center...

Objectives Sleep debt reportedly increases emotional instability, such as anxiety and confusion, in addition to sleepiness psychomotor impairment. However, the neural basis of instability due sleep has yet be elucidated. This study investigated changes responses that are elicited by simulation short-term loss brain regions responsible for these changes. Subjects Methods Fourteen healthy adult men aged 24.1±3.3 years (range, 20–32 years) participated a within-subject crossover consisting...

To assess circadian preference with a score, the Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ) has been used for more than 3 decades now. More recently, Munich ChronoType (MCTQ) was developed: it asks sleep-wake behavior on work and free days uses midpoint of sleep (MSF), corrected debt accumulated during week as an indicator chronotype (MSFsc). In this study, we developed Japanese version MCTQ by using translation/back-translation approach including examination its semantic validity....

A system of self-sustained biological clocks controls the 24-h rhythms behavioral and physiological processes such as sleep–wake cycle. The circadian clock is regulated by transcriptional translational negative feedback loops multiple genes. Polymorphisms in genes have been associated with morningness–eveningness (diurnal) preference, familial advanced sleep phase type (ASPT) delayed (DSPT). We genotyped single-nucleotide polymorphisms 182 DSPT individuals, 67 free-running (FRT) individuals...

Abstract In this study, we hypothesized that dynamics of sleep time obtained over consecutive days extended in a laboratory reflect an individual’s optimal duration (OSD) and the difference between OSD habitual (HSD) at home represents potential debt (PSD). We found varies among individuals PSD showed stronger correlation with subjective/objective sleepiness than actual time, interacting vulnerability loss. Furthermore, only 1 h takes four to recover their level. Recovery from was also...

Circadian typology, or "morningness" and "eveningness," is generally assessed using the Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ), a 19-item scale that could be burdensome in large-scale surveys. To overcome this, 5-item version known as reduced morningness-eveningness questionnaire (rMEQ), which sensitive to assessment of circadian was developed; however, validated Japanese rMEQ yet established. This study aimed develop validate rMEQ. Five essential items for were selected from existing...
