Abstract Italy is one of the major COVID‐19 hotspots. To reduce spread infections and pressure on Italian healthcare systems, since March 10, 2020, has been under a total lockdown, forcing people into home confinement. Here we present data from 1,310 living in territory ( M age = 23.91 ± 3.60 years, 880 females, 501 workers, 809 university students), who completed an online survey 24 to 28, 2020. In survey, asked participants think about their use digital media before going bed, sleep...
Italy has been the first nation outside of Asia to face COVID-19 outbreak. To limit viral transmission infection, by March 10th, 2020, Italian Government ordered a national lockdown, which established home confinement, (smart) working, and temporary closure non-essential businesses schools. The present study investigated how these restrictive measures impacted mothers their pre-school children's behavioral habits (i.e., sleep timing quality, subjective time experience) psychological...
Italy is one of the major COVID-19 hotspots. To reduce spread infections and pressure on Italian healthcare systems, since March 10th 2020, under a total lockdown, with restrictions movement individuals in entire nation, forcing people to home confinement. Here we present data from 1310 living territory (Mage= 23.91±3.60 years, 880 females, 501 workers, 809 University students), who completed an online survey 24th 28th 2020.

Abstract Objective On March 10, 2020, the Italian Government ordered a national lockdown to limit viral transmission of coronavirus disease 2019 infections. This study investigated how these restrictive measures have impacted sleep quality, timing, and psychological difficulties in school-age children their mothers during lockdown. Methods In an online survey, 299 reported habits, experience time, as well those (6–10 years old) and, retrospectively, before Results During lockdown, showed...
The last 20 yrs have seen a marked increase in studies utilizing actigraphy free-living environments. aim of the present study is to directly compare two commercially available actigraph devices with concurrent polysomnography (PSG) during daytime nap healthy young adults. Thirty adults, ages 18–31 (mean 20.77 yrs, SD 3.14 yrs) simultaneously wore AW-64 and GT3X+ polysomnographically recorded nap. Mann-Whitney U (M-U) test, intraclass correlation coefficients, Bland-Altman statistic were...
Wearable sensors are promising instruments for conducting both laboratory and ambulatory research in psychophysiology. However, scholars should be aware of their measurement error the conditions which accuracy is achieved. This study aimed to assess a wearable sensor designed purposes, E4 wristband (Empatica, Milan, Italy), measuring heart rate (HR), variability (HRV), skin conductance (SC) over five widely used stress reactivity (seated rest, paced breathing, orthostatic, Stroop, speech...
Abstract Sleep-tracking devices, particularly within the consumer sleep technology (CST) space, are increasingly used in both research and clinical settings, providing new opportunities for large-scale data collection highly ecological conditions. Due to fast pace of CST industry combined with lack a standardized framework evaluate performance trackers, their accuracy reliability measuring remains largely unknown. Here, we provide step-by-step analytical evaluating trackers (including...
The COVID-19 pandemic has increased negative emotions and decreased positive globally. Left unchecked, these emotional changes might have a wide array of adverse impacts. To reduce increase emotions, we tested the effectiveness reappraisal, an emotion regulation strategy which modifies how one thinks about situation. Participants from 87 countries/regions (N = 21,644) were randomly assigned to two brief reappraisal interventions (reconstrual or repurposing) control conditions (active...
Significance We present the first evidence, to our knowledge, that autonomic nervous system (ANS) plays a role in associative memory consolidation during sleep. Compared with Quiet Wake control condition, performance improvement was associated vagally mediated ANS activity [as measured by high-frequency (HF) heart rate variability (HRV)] rapid eye movement (REM) In particular, up 73% of proportion could be accounted for considering both traditionally reported sleep features (i.e., minutes...

The COVID-19 pandemic and associated lockdowns triggered worldwide changes in the daily routines of human experience. Blursday database provides repeated measures subjective time related processes from participants nine countries tested on 14 questionnaires 15 behavioural tasks during pandemic. A total 2,840 completed at least one task, 439 all first session. data collection tools are accessible to researchers for studying effects social isolation temporal information processing,...
Sounds associated with newly learned information that are replayed during non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep can improve recall in simple tasks. The mechanism for this improvement is presumed to be reactivation of the memory when consolidation takes place. We have developed an EEG-based closed-loop system precisely deliver sensory stimulation at time down-state up-state transitions NREM sleep. Here, we demonstrate applying technology participants performing a realistic navigation task...
The pattern of sleep stages across a night (sleep architecture) is influenced by biological, behavioral, and clinical variables. However, traditional measures architecture such as stage proportions, fail to capture dynamics. Here we quantify the impact individual differences on dynamics determine which factors or set best predict next from current information. We investigated influence age, sex, body mass index, time day, static (e.g. minutes in stage, efficiency) dynamic transition...
Listening to music while driving is a commonly adopted fatigue-coping strategy, yet its effectiveness has been explored in only limited number of studies. Here, we aim evaluate impact on passive task-related fatigue, as measured by set both objective and subjective indicators. A simulator experiment was conducted involving 60 participants, who completed 50-minute task monotonous highway scenario. The participants were divided into control group, which did not listen any music, an...
Many theories of time perception propose the existence an internal pacemaker, and studies across behavioral, physiological, neuroscience fields have explored this concept. Specifically, Spontaneous Motor Tempo (SMT), most comfortable natural tapping tempo for each individual, is thought to reflect pacemaker's tempo. Changes in heart rate are also linked estimation, while Individual Alpha Frequency (IAF), peak alpha range (8-13 Hz) observed EEG, reported brain's temporal processing. Despite...
Intuition often guides our thinking effectively, but it can also lead to consequential reasoning errors, underpinning poor decisions and biased judgments. Little is known about how people globally self-correct such intuitive errors what enhances their correction. Defying prevailing models of reasoning, recent research suggests that spontaneously correct only a few during deliberation; however, enhancing error monitoring motivating further effort should increase Here, we study whether these...
