Measurement properties of the simplified Chinese version of Nonrestorative Sleep Scale in adolescents
This study aimed to assess the measurement properties of a simplified Chinese version of the Nonrestorative Sleep Scale (NRSS) among adolescents. We obtained a simplified Chinese NRSS by the standard forward-backward translation procedures and administered it to 486 students who were attending Grade 7-11 in Nanjing, China. Furthermore, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Athens Insomnia Scale, Centre for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale, and …
Nonrestorative sleep scale: A reliable and valid short form of the traditional Chinese version
The 9-item Chinese NRSS is a reliable and valid tool to measure nonrestorative sleep for epidemiological studies
Nonrestorative sleep scale: Reliable and valid for the Chinese population
Discriminating between Anxious and Non-Anxious Subjects Using the Toronto Hospital Alertness Test
The alertness profiles of self-defined anxious and non-anxious subjects observed on THAT are different. Based on a subject's alertness profile, it is possible to discriminate between self-defined anxious and non-anxious, using THAT, with good specificity and sensitivity at a threshold score of 30
The Pittsburgh sleep quality index as a screening tool for sleep dysfunction in clinical and non-clinical samples: A systematic review and meta-analysis
"Sleepiness" is serious in adolescence: Two surveys of 3235 Canadian students
Sleep deprivation and excessive daytime sleepiness were common in two samples of Ontario high school students and were associated with a decrease in academic achievement and extracurricular activity. There is a need to increase awareness of this problem in the education and health communities and to translate knowledge already available to strategies to address it

A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Crossover Study of the Effect of Exogenous Melatonin on Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome
OBJECTIVE: The effects of exogenous melatonin on sleep, daytime sleepiness, fatigue, and alertness were investigated in 22 patients with delayed sleep phase syndrome whose nocturnal sleep was restricted to the interval from 24:00 to 08:00 hours. This study was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial. Subjects received either placebo or melatonin (5 mg) daily for 4 weeks, underwent a 1-week washout period, and then were give…
Structure of Lifestyle Disruptions in Chronic Disease: A Confirmatory Factor Analysis of the Illness Intrusiveness Ratings Scale
BACKGROUND: The Illness Intrusiveness Ratings Scale (IIRS) measures the extent to which disease or its treatment or both interfere with activities in important life domains. Before comparing IIRS scores within or across groups it is crucial to determine whether a common underlying factor structure exists across patient populations. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the factor structure underlying the IIRS and evaluate its stability across diagnoses. METH…
Depression and Short REM Latency in Subjects With Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
OBJECTIVE: The hypothesized polysomnographic marker for depression, Rapid Eye Movement Latency (REML), was used to investigate two groups of subjects; Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)-not depressed and CFS-depressed. METHOD: CFS subjects were classified into depressed and not depressed groups, using the Diagnostic Interview Schedule (DIS), and subsequently were studied in a sleep laboratory to ascertain REML. RESULTS: Short REML showed a statistica…
The Effects of a New Alpha-2 Adrenoceptor Antagonist on Sleep and Nocturnal Penile Tumescence in Normal Male Volunteers and Men With Erectile Dysfunction
The effects of a new alpha-2 adrenoceptor antagonist, RS 15385, on sleep and nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT) was assessed by intravenous infusion of the drug, in two doses (high and low), and of placebo through the night in 12 young normal volunteers and 24 men with erectile dysfunction. The drug reduced total sleep time in the younger normal volunteers only with the high dose and in the dysfunctional men with both doses. There was no selective…
