Abstract
Previous research has produced mixed results regarding the relationship between sleep and cardiovascular reactivity to acute mental stress. This study aimed to re-analyze this relationship as well as test the relationship between sleep and stress-related changes in baroreflex function in order to further clarify the relationship between sleep and stress reactivity. Participants (N = 127, 84 female, mean age = 20.64, 78 White) completed a mental arithmetic stress task, while measures of heart rate (HR), blood pressure (BP), and baroreflex function were undertaken. Participants self-reported sleep duration, timing, efficiency, quality, latency, and wake after sleep onset the night prior to testing. Mental stress caused significant increases in HR and BP and significant decreases in baroreflex sensitivity and effectiveness (all p < 0.001). However, no statistically significant relationships were found between any measures of sleep and HR or BP reactivity (all p ≥ 0.05). Similarly, stress-induced changes in baroreflex function were not associated with any measures of sleep (all p ≥ 0.05). Results suggest that self-reported sleep is not related to cardiovascular or baroreflex reactivity to acute mental stress.
期刊介绍:
Founded in 1964, Psychophysiology is the most established journal in the world specifically dedicated to the dissemination of psychophysiological science. The journal continues to play a key role in advancing human neuroscience in its many forms and methodologies (including central and peripheral measures), covering research on the interrelationships between the physiological and psychological aspects of brain and behavior. Typically, studies published in Psychophysiology include psychological independent variables and noninvasive physiological dependent variables (hemodynamic, optical, and electromagnetic brain imaging and/or peripheral measures such as respiratory sinus arrhythmia, electromyography, pupillography, and many others). The majority of studies published in the journal involve human participants, but work using animal models of such phenomena is occasionally published. Psychophysiology welcomes submissions on new theoretical, empirical, and methodological advances in: cognitive, affective, clinical and social neuroscience, psychopathology and psychiatry, health science and behavioral medicine, and biomedical engineering. The journal publishes theoretical papers, evaluative reviews of literature, empirical papers, and methodological papers, with submissions welcome from scientists in any fields mentioned above.
