Summary Consumer “Smartbands” can collect physiological parameters, such as heart rate (HR), continuously across the sleep–wake cycle. Nevertheless, quality of HR data detected by devices and their place in research clinical field is debatable, they are rarely rigorously validated. The objective present study was to investigate reliability pulse photoplethysmographic detection Fitbit ChargeHR ™ (FBCHR, Inc.) a natural setting continuous recording vigilance states. To fulfil this aim,...
Abstract Objective Sleep disturbances significantly impact Behçet’s Syndrome (BS) patients’ quality of life. Defining the correlates BS sleep is needed to improve their management and, in turn, In this study, we explored fibromyalgia, disease activity, and glucocorticoid exposure as possible predictors circadian rhythm parameters a cohort patients. Methods Participants’ sociodemographic data were collected through survey. evaluated objectively via continuous 7-day accelerometric monitoring...
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the associations between food literacy, consumer profiling and purchasing behaviour in a sample Italian consumers. Design/methodology/approach Participants ( N = 194) completed an online survey including personal data, two questionnaires on purchase consumption, General Trust Scale (GTS), questionnaire assessing individual chronotype scales about literacy: one investigating nutritional knowledge (short literacy questionnaire, SFLQ) other...
This study aimed to explore the relationship between chronotype and resilience, sleep quality, post-traumatic stress reactions during first COVID-19 lockdown in Italy. An online survey was distributed through social networks forced home confinement, collecting data from1298 participants of 19 different Italian regions. Chronotype evaluated using reduced version Morningness/Eveningness Questionnaire (rMEQ); quality assessed by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI); resilience levels were...
Risk is the probability of an adverse event. The proneness to take a risk and taking behavior differ among general population. Hypnotizability stable psychophysiological trait expressing individual modify perception, memory following specific suggestions also in ordinary state consciousness. Some hypnotizability-related neurophysiological behavioral correlates suggest that hypnotizability level, measured by standard scales classifying individuals as low (lows), medium (mediums) high...
Abstract Objective Although the association between chronotype and mood disorders has been consistently reported, conversely, attempts to measure anxiety symptoms have generated inconsistent results. We aimed at evaluating whether (assessed through subjective objective measures) is associated with lifetime panic-agoraphobic spectrum in healthy controls (HCs) patients bipolar disorder (BD). Methods Overall, 173 subjects, BD euthymic phase ( n = 76) HC 97), were evaluated reduced...
The present study aimed at evaluating how post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) are associated with rest-activity circadian and sleep-related parameters, assessed both subjectively (via questionnaires) objectively actigraphy). Specifically, we explored whether chronotype could moderate the association between sleep/circadian parameters PTSS. Participants (n = 120 adults; mean age 35.6 ± 14; 48 male) were through Trauma Loss Spectrum Self Report (TALS-SR) for lifetime PTSS, reduced version of...
Introduction Asymmetric electromyographic (EMG) activity during teeth clenching has been linked to cognitive impairment, as evaluated by the Spinnler-Tognoni matrices test, and asymmetric pupil size (anisocoria). Anisocoria indicates an Locus Coeruleus activity, leading hemispheric excitability worsening performance. Bite splint wearing corrects EMG asymmetry, reduces anisocoria improves This study explores possible effect of asymmetry on oculomotor behavior text reading. Methods In subjects...
Adolescents’ conflict between circadian rhythm and early school start time is more pronounced in evening chronotypes, who tend to reduce sleep duration during days compensating the free by oversleeping (i.e., social jetlag). Cumulative weekly debt may impair sport performance, which relies on physical cognitive skills modulated sleep. We hypothesized that chronotype predicts it interact with day of week. Moreover, given role plays motor memory consolidation, we tested hypothesis attendance,...
The COVID-19 pandemic required communities throughout the world to deal with unknown threats. Using Twitter data, this study aimed detect reactions outbreak in Italy and evaluate relationship between measures derived from social media (SM) both national epidemiological data reports on violations of restrictions. dynamics time-series about tweets counts, emotions expressed, themes discussed were evaluated using Italian posts regarding 25 February 4 May 2020. Considering 4,988,255 tweets,...
The study aims to investigate the association between different sleep management strategies and final ranking during a one-night sailing race. A large sample of 190 teams participating in overnight regatta (151 Miglia) were included study. experimental design consisted two surveys, administered one before start race other after arrival. questionnaires provided general information on sailboat, its crew, strategy adopted manage In this regatta, self-management sleep/wake timing emerged as most...
ABSTRACT Study Objectives Night work plays an irreplaceable role in healthcare systems. However, sleep loss due to night shifts can negatively affect workers’ cognition. Identifying individual variables predicting shift tolerance may help mitigate the negative consequences of on and patients’ safety. This study aims explore, a sample, which predict possible impairment sustained attention increase risk-taking behavior after shift. Methods 22 workers (avg. age 39.4 ± 11.5 y, 63% females)...
