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.

IEEE 802.16e 표준은 sleep 모드와 idle 모드의 두 저전력 모드를(power saving mode: PSM) 정의하고 있다. 이들은 모드 천이시 단말과 망간 상태 정보 유지 여부에 따라 소모 전력 측면에서 성능이 달라진다. 따라서 802.16e 단말의 전력 소모 최적화를 위해서는 각 기법의 성능에 영향을 주는 요소들을 모두 고려한 상세한 성능분석이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 단말의 이동성과 호 사용 빈도를 고려하여 소모 전력 측면에서 두 PSM의 성능분석 모델을 제안하고, idle 모드가 전력 소모 측면에서 sleep 모드보다 우수하다는 것을 보인다. 또한 분석 결과와 모의실험과의 비교를 통해 제안한 분석 모델의 타당성을 검증하였다.

Recent ubiquitous computing environments increasingly impact on our lives using the current technologies of sensor network and ubiquitous services. In this paper, we propose ubiquitous architectural framework for ubiquitous sleep aid service(UbiSAS) in the subset of ubiquitous computing for refreshing of human's sleep. And we examine technical feasibility. Human can recover his health through refreshing sleep from fatigue. Ubiquitous architectural framework for UbiSAS in digital home offers agreeable sleeping environment and improves recovery from fatigue. So we present new concept of ubiquitous architectural framework dissolving stress. Specially, we apply context to context-aware framework module. This context is transferred to context adaptive inference engine which has service invocation function in intelligent agent module. Ubiquitous architectural framework for UbiSAS using context adaptive rule inference engine without user intervention is technical issue. That is to say, we should take sleep comfortably during our sleeping. And sensed information during sleeping is changed to context-aware information. This presents significant information in context adaptive rule inference engine for UbiSAS. This information includes all sleeping state during sleeping in context-aware computing technique. So we propose more effective and most suitable ubiquitous architectural framework using context adaptive rule inference engine for refreshing sleep in this paper.

목 적 : 본 연구는 폐쇄성 수면무호흡증후군 환자에서 수면무호흡지수, 수면관련 척도, 기분관련 척도, 그리고 수면중 신체활동도 간의 연관성을 보고자 하였다. 방 법 : 폐쇄성 수면무호흡증후군을 보이는 122명(평균연령 $43{\pm}11$세)의 남자환자를 선정하였다. 폐쇄성 수면무호흡증후군 진단은 수면무호흡지수>5인 경우로 하였고, 수면무호흡지수의 평균은 $39.6{\pm}26.0$이였다. 수면관련척도로 Stan-ford Sleepiness Scale(SSS), Epworth Sleepiness Scale(E-SS), Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index(PSQI), Morningness-Ev-eningness Scale(MES)이 사용되었고, 기분관련척도로 Beck Depression Inventory(BDI), Beck Anxiety Inventory(BAI), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory(STAI) I, II, Profile of Mood States(POMS)가 사용되었다. 수면중 활동도를 측정하기 위해 양측 손목에 손목 액티그라프(wrist actigraphy, WATG)를 착용한 채 1일밤 야간수면다원검사(nocturnal polysom-nography, NPSG)를 시행하였다. WATG에서 산출된 지수는 총활동도(total activity score), 평균활동도(mean activity score) 및 분절지수(fragmentation index)였다. 수면무호흡지수, 수면 및 기분관련척도, 수면중 활동도 간의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 결 과 : ESS는 PSQI, BDI, BAI, STAI I, II와 각각 유의한 양의 상관관계를 보였다(p<0.01). SSS는 PSQI, BAI와 유의한 양의 상관관계를 보였다(p<0.05, p<0.01). BAI는 총활동도, 평균활동도 및 분절지수(fragmentation index)와 유의한 양의 상관관계를 보였다(p<0.05, p<0.01, p<0.05). 수면중 총활동도는 ESS, BAI와 각각 유의한 양의 상관관계를 보였다(p<0.05). 수면 분절지수는 ESS, PSQI, BAI와 유의한 양의 상관관계를 보였다(p<0.05, p<0.01, p<0.05). 수면무호흡지수는 수면 및 기분관련 척도와 유의한 상관관계를 보이지 않았다. 결 론 : 주간 졸리움을 호소하는 정도가 수면무호흡증의 심한 정도와 연관이 있기 보다는 오히려 야간수면 만족도, 우울 및 불안의 정도, 수면중 활동도와 더 연관성이 있었다.

Background: This study aimed to examine the impact of chronotype on depressive symptoms and explore the mediating effects of sleep quality, pre-sleep cognitive arousal, and social jetlag in a sample of wage earners. Methods: A total of 3,917 waged workers were surveyed online in July 2022. Logistic regression and mediation analysis were used to assess the relationship between chronotype (morningness, intermediate, and eveningness) and depressive symptoms (Patient Health Questionnaire ≥ 5), and the mediating effects of Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and Pre-Sleep Arousal Scale (PSAS). All analyses were adjusted for age, education level, income level, marital status, coffee consumption, alcohol consumption, physical activity, occupation, employment status, and working hours to calculate odds ratios (ORs). Results: The chronotypes of all the participants were divided into morningness (4.7%), intermediate (93.5%), and eveningness (1.8%). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed an increased risk of depression in the eveningness chronotype (OR: 2.96; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.51, 5.86). Regarding the mediation analysis, ISI mediated 28.44% (95% CI: 16.39-40.5), PSQI for 31.25% (95% CI: 19.36, 43.15), and PSAS-Cognitive Score (PSAS-C) for 23.58% (95% CI: 10.66, 36.50) of the association between chronotype and depressive symptoms. However, social jetlag did not significantly mediate this relationship. (percentage mediated = 0.75%, 95% CI: -3.88, 5.39) Conclusions: Evening chronotypes exhibit an increased risk of depressive symptoms, which ISI, PSQI, and PSAS-C partially mediated. This suggests that interventions to improve sleep quality and maintain adequate sleep habits may effectively prevent and treat depression in employees with an eveningness chronotype.

Objectives More than half of the elders suffer from chronic sleep disturbances. Moreover, sleep disturbances are more prevalent in patients with depressive disorder than in community dwelling elderly. In this study, we aim to estimate the risk factors of poor sleep quality and its effect on quality of life in patients with late life depression. Methods This study included 159 depressive patients aged 65 years or older who completed Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). A global PSQI score of 5 or greater indicates a poor sleeper. Structural diagnostic interviews were performed using the Korean version of Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI). Depression was evaluated by the Korean form of Geriatric Depression Scale (KGDS). Global cognition was assessed by Mini-Mental State Examination in the Korean version of the Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer's Disease assessment packet. Quality of life was evaluated by the Korean version of Short-Form 36-Item Health Survey (SF-36). Results The frequencies of poor sleepers were 90.5% in major depressive disorder, 71.8% in minor depressive disorder, 47.1% in subsyndromal depressive disorder, and 73.0% in all types of depressive disorders. Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that female [odds ratio (OR) = 2.83, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.20-6.67] and higher KGDS score (OR = 1.13, 95% CI = 1.05-1.21) were risk factors of poor sleep quality in patients with late life depression. In the analysis of ANCOVA adjusted for age, gender, education and KGDS score, the mean scores of vitality mental health and mental component summary of SF-36 were lower in poor sleepers than in good sleepers. Conclusions Poor sleepers among patients with late life depression are very common and are associated with female and higher KGDS scores. Poor sleep quality causes a significant negative effect on mental health quality. So researchers and clinicians should be more vigilant in the evaluation and treatment of sleep disturbances in patients with late life depression.

Background: Shift work and/or sleep quality may affect health. We investigated whether shift work and sleep quality, separately and jointly, were associated with abnormal levels of triglycerides, total cholesterol (TC), and low-and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in 360 police officers (27.5% women). Methods: Triglycerides, TC, and high-density lipoprotein were analyzed on the Abbott Architect; low-density lipoprotein was calculated. Shift work was assessed using City of Buffalo payroll work history records. Sleep quality (good, ${\leq}5$; intermediate, 6-8; poor, ${\geq}9$) was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index questionnaire. A shift work + sleep quality variable was created: day plus good sleep; day plus poor sleep; afternoon/night plus good; and poor sleep quality. Mean values of lipid biomarkers were compared across categories of the exposures using analysis of variance/analysis of covariance. Results: Shift work was not significantly associated with lipids. However, as sleep quality worsened, mean levels of triglycerides and TC gradually increased but only among female officers (age- and race-adjusted p = 0.013 and 0.030, respectively). Age significantly modified the association between sleep quality and TC. Among officers ${\geq}40$ years old, those reporting poor sleep quality had a significantly higher mean level of TC ($202.9{\pm}3.7mg/dL$) compared with those reporting good sleep quality ($190.6{\pm}4.0mg/dL$) (gender- and race-adjusted p = 0.010). Female officers who worked the day shift and also reported good sleep quality had the lowest mean level of TC compared with women in the other three categories (p = 0.014). Conclusion: Sleep quality and its combined influence with shift work may play a role in the alteration of some lipid measures.
