Objectives : Much is still unknown about the neurophysiological mechanisms or dynamics of the sleep onset process. Detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA) is a new tool for the analysis of electroencephalography (EEG) that may give us additional information about electrophysiological changes. The purpose of this study is to analyze long-range correlations of electroencephalographic signals by DFA and their changes in the sleep onset process. Methods : Thirty channel EEG was recorded in 61 healthy subjects (male:female=34:27, age=$27.2{\pm}3.0$ years). The scaling exponents, alpha, were calculated by DFA and compared between four kinds of 30s sleep-wakefulness states such as wakefulness, transition period, early sleep, and late sleep (stage 1). These four states were selected by the distribution of alpha and theta waves in O1 and O2 electrodes. Results : The scaling exponents, alpha, were significantly different in the four states during sleep onset periods, and also varied with the thirty leads. The interaction between the sleep states and the leads was significant. The means (${\pm}$ standard deviation) of alphas for the states were 0.94 (${\pm}0.12$), 0.98 (${\pm}0.12$), 1.10 (${\pm}0.10$), 1.07 (${\pm}0.07$) in the wakefulness, transitional period, early sleep and late sleep state respectively. The mean alpha of anterior fifteen leads was greater than that of posterior fifteen leads, and the two regions showed the different pattern of changes of the alpha during the sleep onset periods. Conclusions : The characteristic findings in the sleep onset period were the increasing pattern of scaling exponent of DFA, and the pattern was slightly but significantly different between fronto-temporal and parieto-occipital regions. It suggests that the long-range correlations of EEG have a tendency of increasing from wakefulness to early sleep, but anterior and posterior brain regions have different dynamical process. DFA, one of the nonlinear analytical methods for time series, may be a useful tool for the investigation of the sleep onset period.

Purpose : We conducted a study to propose comparing subjective sleeping states data that was collected through scientifically measuring by using smartwatch and surveys for seafarers. In addition, we conducted a study to provide sleep though analysis of the environmental factors that influence the sleep efficiency of seafarers. Methods : For scientific measurement of seafarers' sleeping states, we measured the sleep hours and sleep efficiency for at least 3 days by using the healthcare function of smartwatches which are wearable devices. As for subjective sleeping states, we collected data on sleep hours and satisfaction rates on the quality of sleep through a survey. Lastly, as for the environmental factors that affect the sleep efficiency which is measured by smartwatches such as physical environment, bedroom space, bedroom furniture, bedding, a survey by self-evaluation method was conducted. Results : There were significant differences in the scientific sleep hours measurement values for all seafarers and the average sleep hours in the subjective survey. There were significant differences in the scientific sleep efficiency measurements of all the seafarers and the sleep satisfaction of the subjective survey, and there was no correlation between the scientific sleep efficiency and the subjective sleep satisfaction of all the seafarers. Among the environmental factors affecting the sleep efficiency of the seafarers, humidity variable had the most influence, and vibration and illuminance variables were also shown to have a very significant effect. Conclusion : We propose the measuring method that can analyze the quantitative and qualitative sleep states of the seafarers by using small activity recorders. In addition, it is very important to control humidity, vibration, and illuminance among ship environmental factors, and comfort, noise and bedroom size should also be reflected.

Purpose: This study examined the effects of Self-foot reflexology(SFR) on fatigue and sleep states in clinical women nurses. Method: This study was a nonequivalent pretest-posttest quasi-experimental. Women nurses were assigned to an experimental group (EG, n=20) or a control group (CG, n=20). The EG participated in SFR for a total of 40 minutes, 2 times per week during 4 weeks on their Rt & Lt feet. The CG did not receive SFR during the research period. The EG & CG had never before received SFR, and they had no open wounds or fractures. Data was analyzed using the $x^2$-test, and t-test by the SPSS version 12.0 program at a 5% significant level. Results: The score of fatigue in the EG was significantly lower than that of the CG and the score of sleep states in the EG was also significantly higher than that of the CG. Conclusion: The findings show that the score of fatigue decreased and sleep states increased in the study. Therefore, we should consider SFR as an intervention on clinical nurses. However, it is still needed to verify its effects through more intensive study.

Epilepsy is a paroxysmal disorder caused by abnormal electrical discharges of the brain. As it is characterized by episodic seizures with intervening normal neurological states, some temporal patterns of seizure attacks can be traced. Sleep and wakefulness patterns are one of several factors influencing seizure occurrence. In this article, physiological and pathological influences of sleep on the seizure phenomenon were reviewed. Understanding this relationship between sleep and epilepsy might lead to better understanding of sleep and epilepsy themselves, thus leading to better diagnosis and treatment of each disease.

Distinct features in heart rate signals during the driver's wake and sleep states could provide an initiative for the development of a safe driving systems such as drowsiness detecting sensor in a smart wheel. We measured ECG from health subjects ($23.5{\pm}2.5$ in age) during the wake and drowsiness states. The proposed method is able to detect R waves and R-R interval calculation in the ECG even when the signal includes in abnormal signals. Heart rate variability(HRV) was investigated for the time domain and frequency domains. The STD HR(0.029), NN50(0.044) and VLF power(0.0018) of the RR interval series of the subjects were significantly different from those of the control group (p < 0.05). In conclusion, there are changes in heart rate from wake to drowsiness that are potentially to be detected. The results in our study could be useful for the development of drowsiness detection sensors for effective real-time monitoring.

The purpose of this study was to compare the sleep characteristics between the prone and the supine position in healthy newborns. The 48 newborns were observed in the prone position and the supine position respectively on the 2nd day after birth. The data were collected from January to May, 1999. The state of a newborn was classified and categorized to 6 states (deep sleep. light sleep, drowsy, quiet alert, active alert, crying) by Barnard. The movements of eyes, face and extremities, pulse and arterial oxygen were observed and recorded continuously from the start of sleep after feeding until the time of being woken for the next feeding by a trained nurse The data was analyzed by using paired t-test. The results of this study were as follows; 1. There was no significant difference in the length of sleeping time between the prone and the supine position. 2. There was no significant difference in the length and frequencies of each states(deep sleep, light sleep, drowsy, quiet alert, active alert, crying) between the prone and the supine position But the frequency of light sleep in the supine position was significantly higher than that of the prone position. 3 There was no significant difference In the numbers or eyes movements between the prone and the supine sleep position. But the amount of facial and extremity movement in the supine position was significantly higher than those in the prone position 4. There was no significant difference in the arterial oxygen content between the prone and the supine sleep position. 5. There was no significant difference in the heart rates between the prone and the supine sleep position. The above results indicated that the newborns in the prone Position moved less and slept deeper than those in the supine position. though there was no difference in the length of sleep or arterial oxygen content between the prone and the supine sleep Position. But. Nurses and mothers should consider the relationship between the sleep Position and SIDS suggested by previous researches. The infant's 'awakening' during sleep is a normal process and rather valuable because it can provide an opportunity to promote a stronger relationship between mother and baby. So, It is suggested that the supine sleep position is better than the prone sleep position for infants.

이제까지 제시된 수면/각성과 관련된 연구의 결과들이 아직은 부족하거나 일관성이 결여되어 있기 때문에 인간의 수면/각성 리듬에 대한 모텔은 확립되지 않았다. 주 수면시간, 서파 수면, 렘수면, 수면의 깊이, 아침에 깨어남, 각성 수준 등의 주 리듬은 일중리듬을 보여준다. 주 수면시간은 중심체온과 이전의 깨어있는 기간에 의해 결정되는 것으로 알려져 있다. 렘수면 발생의 경향은 통상적인 아침 기상시간 이후 오전 내내 높은 수준으로 남아있게 된다. 수면경향이 갖는 일중 반주기의 내인성 생물학적 특성은 모든 연령에서 독특하게 보여지는 현상이다. 오후의 졸리움이나 수면에 대한 증거는 수면잠복기 반복검사, 수면연장 연구, 비동승상태 연구, 자유질주 연구 등과 같은 여러 연구방법에서 보여진 오후의 졸리움, 수행능력, 다양한 수면장애의 병리적 특성, 그리고 시에스타 문화에서 증명된다. 일중 12 시간 수면리듬의 모델은 아직도 일중 반주기 리듬이 일중리듬이 고유한 이형식의 리듬으로 표현되는 것인지 아니면 별개의 독립적 인 현상인지에 대한 결론이 내려지지 않았기 때문에 확립되지 않았다. 수면-각성의 주기에는 하루에 3-4회, 즉 6-8 시간의 주기를 갖는 중간 단주기 리듬이 내재되어 있고, 또 성인의 야간수면은 90-120 분의 주기를 갖는 비-램 수면과 렘수면의 리듬미칼한 극단 주기적 교대를 보여준다. 그뿐 아니라 주간의 기본적인 휴식 -활동 주기는 야간의 렘 수면주기에 상응한다는 가설이 제시되기도 하였다. 수면의 단주기 리듬에 대한 연구는 전통적인 수면다원 검사, 낮잠 연구, 휴식 및 일상지속법 연구, 수면연장 연구, 보행감찰, 극 초단적 수면일정, 시간격리연구 등을 통해 시행되고 있다. 내재하는 다양한 신체의 리듬들이 어떻게, 또 어느 정도 상호작용하여 수면의 시작과 종결을 조절하며, 반일주기 수면경향의 본질은 어떠하고, 또 렘 주기와 수면과의 관계는 어떠한가에 대한 의문은 앞으로 해결해야 할 중요한 쟁점들이다.

In this work, we consider performance modeling of a wireless sensor network with a time division multiple access (TDMA) media access protocol with slot reuse. It is assumed that all the nodes are peers of each other and they have two modes of operation, active and sleep modes. We model the sensor network as a Jackson network with unreliable nodes with on and off states. Active and sleep modes of sensor nodes are modeled with on and off states of unreliable nodes. We determine the joint distribution of the sensor node queue lengths in the network. From this result, we derive the probability distribution of the number of active nodes and blocking probability of node activation. Then, we present the mean packet delay, average sleep period of a node and the network throughput. We present numerical results as well as simulation results to verify the analysis. Finally, we discuss how the derived results may be used in the design of sensor networks.

목 적 : 본 연구는 야간 광 노출시 야간교대근무자의 수면양상과 기분상태가 어떠한 변화를 보이는지와 광 노출의 부작용의 정도와 빈도를 알아보고자 하였다. 이런 과정을 통해 광 노출이 야간교대근무적응에 사용될 수 있는지를 밝히고자 하였다. 방 법 : 용인정신병원에 근무하는 야간교대근무 간호사 12명이 본 연구에 참여하였다. 본 연구는 야간근무 대조연구, 야간근무 광노출연구, 주간근무 대조연구의 3부분으로 구성 되었으며 1명의 간호사가 주간근무 대조연구에 참여하지 않은 것을 제외하고는 모든 간호사가 세 연구에 모두 참여하였다. 야간근무 광노출연구시 새벽 1시부터 새벽 5시까지 4시간동안 빛에 노출되었다. 수면양상은 활동기록기와 자동수면 분석프로그램을 통해, 기분상태와 광노출의 부작용은 자기보고척도에 의해 평가하였다. 결 과 : 수면기간시간, 총수면시간, 수면효율은 야간근무 대조연구에 비해 야간근무 광노출연구시 증가되었으며 야간근무 광노출연구는 주간근무 대조연구와 차이를 보이지 않았다. 야간근무 광노출연구시 수면효율의 일간변동도 야간근무 대조연구에 비해 현저하지 않고 안정된 양상을 보였다. 야간근무 광노출연구시 간호사들은 주간수면을 취한 후 저녁시간에 야간근무 대조연구에 비해 좀 더 기분이 고양되고 활기가 넘친다고 보고하였다. 광 노출이 진행되면서 광노출 부작용에 대한 내성이 생겨 부작용의 빈도나 정도가 감소하였으며 광노출 3일째 심한 정도의 부작용을 호소한 사람은 한명도 없었다. 결 론 : 광 노출시 주간수면은 주간근무시의 야간수면만큼 호전되는 것으로 관찰되었고 이러한 수면호전으로 인해 야간교대근무자들은 기분이 고양되고 좀 더 활기가 넘친다고 보고하였다. 광 노출의 부작용도 시간이 지남에 따라 감소하므로 야간교대근무 적응을 위해 광 노출법을 권장할 수 있을 것이다.

Parasomnias induced by hypnosedatives are rare but serious side effect. Such parasomnias have not been reported with all hypnosedatives. However, frequent use of hypnosedatives, particularly nonbenzodiazepine receptor agonists is associated with parasomnias. Associated symptoms are sleep eating, sleepwalking with object manipulation, sleep conversations, sleep driving, sleep sex and sleep shopping etc. Mechanisms include high affinity for $GABA_A$ receptor, interruption of the consolidation phase of memory formation by drug, pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic drug-drug interaction and concomitant administration with alcohol. Managements for parasomnias induced by hypnosedatives involve stopping medication, switch to other medications or nonpharmacological treatment, lowest effective dose of NBRAs (Non-Benzodiazepine Receptor Agonists), taking into consideration drug-drug interactions, identification and treatment of underlying disease states.
