Shift workers’ sleep patterns change frequently, which may result in circadian rhythm desynchrony and sleep disturbance. The goal of this study was to compare sleep and cognitive functioning in different shift types. In addition, we analyzed the difference in cognitive functioning depending on whether shift workers took a night nap prior to their night shift. Methods: A total of 278 police officers working in Seoul (mean age 45.27±9.00 years, 88.5% male) participated, providing demographic information and completing selfreport questionnaires [Insomnia Severity Index, Epworth Sleepiness Scale, Munich ChronoType Questionnaire (Shift-work type), Patient Health Questionnaire-9]. Participants also performed the Psychomotor Vigilance Task, Trail Making Test A & B, and Stroop Test. Results: Participants included 57 (20.5%) day workers and 221 (79.5%) shift workers. The average Insomnia Severity Index score of shift workers was significantly higher than day workers (t=-2.861, p=0.005). Shift workers also slept about 0.78 hours less than day workers (t=4.730, p<0.001). Among shift workers, 66.3% (n=128) reported they took night naps prior to their night shift, sleeping on average 1.78 hours. Shift workers who took night naps had faster reaction times on the Trail Making Test A task [F(1, 136)=5.741, p=0.018], and significantly fewer Stroop C errors [F(1, 137)=5.638, p=0.019] than those who did not. Conclusions: Shift working police officers reported significantly worse insomnia symptoms and slept less compared to their non-shift-working counterparts. Taking a night nap improved focused and selective attention.

However, the International Classification of Sleep Disorders (ICSD) criteria did not suggest optimized diagnostic value of RSWA and how to score muscle activity during REM sleep. Many previous studies have been tried to figure out the objective quantitative cut-off values of RSWA. We investigated RSWA in Korean RBD patients compared with normal control, to quantify the cut-off value in diagnosis of RBD, using both manual and computer-assisted scoring methods (REM atonia index, RAI). Methods: We retrospectively analyzed polysomnography and clinical data of 40 patients, 10 age-matched controls by ICSD-3 criteria. The quantitative analysis of chin electromyography density during REM sleep was done by both manual and computerized method. The RSWA and RAI were compared within two groups. Results: In computerized method, the mean RAI of RBD patient was 0.66±0.20, and 0.93±0.38 in control group (p<0.001). Also, in manual method, RSWA were also significantly increased within RBD patient compared with normal controls (tonic activity: 9.1±10.3 vs. 0.1±0.2, phasic activity: 7.5±6.4 vs. 1.6±1.2, p<0.002). Conclusions: We quantify the characteristics of RSWA in Korean RBD patients and suggest that we may diagnose RBD who present RSWA with 4.1% or more increase in total REM sleep duration and RAI more than 0.84.

Furthermore, circadian variation of these clinical characteristics in stroke patients might affect prognosis after using tissue plasminogen activator. Therefore, the knowledge of circadian variation of various clinical characteristics might help in understanding these differences in prognosis among stroke patients. However, circadian variability in stroke occurrence has not been properly evaluated in Korean stroke patients and there is no systematic studies regarding the circadian variation of clinical characteristics in stroke patients. Therefore, we tried to delineate whether the time of symptom onset in stroke patients follows circadian rhythm using Cosinor analysis and to identify clinical characteristics which show similar circadian distribution as that of symptom onset time in stroke patients.","PeriodicalId":243131,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Korean Sleep Research Society","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128177126","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It was originally described as a parasomnia in older men, however it is now recognized as a disorder of all ages and both sexes. We determine clinical characteristics of young age RBD patients who visited single sleep center in Korea. Methods: This is a retrospective chart review of RBD patients visiting single sleep center from August, 2003 to August, 2014. Patients with history of RBD were evaluated with overnight polysomnography (PSG). The PSG re sults were compared between young (<40 years old) and elderly (40 years or older). Results: The total of 149 patients (young RBD: n=22, 14.8%, elderly RBD: n=127, 85.2%) were included. Mean age upon diagnosis were 24.97±7.42 years (male: n=17, 77.3%) for young age RBD, and 64.40±8.73 years (male: n=82, 64.6%) for elderly RBD patients. PSG results reveled young age RBD patients had longer total sleep time (416.16±44.19, 345.73±78.03, p<0.001), higher sleep efficiency (87.60 ±6.90, 76.85±14.07, p<0.001), less arousal index (17.85±20.81, 23.14±12.15, p<0.001). Three patients in young age RBD group were also diag nosed with narcolepsy. Conclusions: This is the first study to evaluate PSG findings in young age RBD in Korean. The young age RBD sleep longer and better, with less arousal. Further on they have associated with sleep talking and walking, and narcolepsy. While few previous reports indicated association with medication use, our young age population was not related to medication effects.

Methods: The questionnaire survey was done in 2007 for students in middle and high schools located in Mokdong region in Seoul.

Results: The third year of middle school, the first and second year of high school students were enrolled. A total of 1,252 students (boy: 65.3%) participated in the survey. The average bedtime was 12:46 AM and 1:13 AM, respectively and the wake up time was 6:24 AM and 8:35 AM, respectively on school days and weekends.
