Assignment 4:

A problem/ issue with the article: It simply lacks information and detail. The article basically just lists what sleep studies are used for and short descriptions of different types of sleep study methods.

Two references: "Diagnostic techniques for obstructive sleep apnoea: is polysomnography necessary?" Nixon & Brouillette Nixon, G. M., & Brouillette, R. T. (2002). Diagnostic techniques for obstructive sleep apnoea: is polysomnography necessary?. Paediatric respiratory reviews, 3(1), 18-24.

"Available techniques for objective assessment of upper airway narrowing in snoring and sleep apnea" Faber & Grymer Faber, C. E., & Grymer, L. (2003). Available techniques for objective assessment of upper airway narrowing in snoring and sleep apnea. Sleep and Breathing, 7(02), 077-086.

Two questions or comments: Should we approach this from more of a psychology perspective and focus on on sleep studies are done in psychology labs, or more so look at how it is studied for medicine since it's in the medicine category?

You should do what you can to improve the article, but it's okay to focus on psychology since that is your area. Wikipedia articles have multiple authors with varying expertise.

Should the articles we use be ones that are simply focused on discussing sleep study techniques or may articles on specific research done on sleep be helpful as well?

You can certainly cite research findings!

Assignment 4

A problem with this article: Going off of what Matt said the article only tells what they are and not really some other reasons outside of sleep apnea that one would need to have a sleep study done.

Two References: Dahlitz, M., and J. D. Parkes. "Sleep paralysis." The Lancet 341.8842 (1993): 406-407.

Adler, S. R. (2011). Sleep paralysis: Night-mares, nocebos, and the mind-body connection. Rutgers University Press.

Two questions or comments: Does it matter the way we cite the source(APA,MLA) Is it okay if he does sleep apnea and i do sleep paralysis or should we do the same one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tyweak28 (talk • contribs) 02:32, 5 April 2019 (UTC)

Assignment 5: 1. To-do list:

Assignments 6 Lead Section- Matt Laden

Sleep studies are tests that record the activity of the body during sleep. They are useful in ruling out and identifying various sleep disorders. There are five main types of sleep studies that use different methods to test for different sleep characteristics and disorders. Sleep studies have not only been useful to the medical field, but also for research in sleep psychology.

Mladen44 (talk) 15:22, 24 March 2019 (UTC)

Lead section- Ty Brooks

Sleep studies These are extremely important studies that give information on whether this is or isn't a sleep disorder. The most common sleep disorder that a sleep study is used for is sleep apnea. These studies are usually done at night, they place wires on your body and head that monitor your brain waves and vitals. Sleep studies are used not only in the medical field but in the research field as well.

Dr. Council's comments

• Nice job on Assignment 5!
• The lead Matt wrote for Assignment 6 is good, but rather brief. You should add in some details. For one thing, you could list the 5 main types of studies in the lead, and give details in the main article. You could also give some specific details on why the studies are important in mediciine and psychology.
• Ty needs to complete his sections. For Assignment 7, Matt can go by my feedback, if Ty has not contributed by then.

Assignment 7

Sleep studies are tests that record the activity of the body during sleep. There are five main types of sleep studies that use different methods to test for different sleep characteristics and disorders. These include polysomnography, multiple sleep latency tests (MSLTs), maintenance of wakefulness tests (MWTs), and home sleep tests (HSTs). In medicine, sleep studies have been useful in identifying and ruling out various sleep disorders. Sleep studies have also been valuable to psychology, in which they have provided insight into brain activity and the other physiological factors of both sleep disorders and normal sleep. This has allowed further research to be done on the relationship between sleep and behavioral and psychological factors.

This is very good! I think you're ready to move on the main article. Just need to add hyperlinks to topics that are covered in other Wikipedia articles, like the specific types of sleep studies. J.R. Council (talk) 19:32, 8 April 2019 (UTC)

Assignment 8

Sleep studies are tests that record the activity of the body during sleep. There are five main types of sleep studies that use different methods to test for different sleep characteristics and disorders. These include simple sleep studies, polysomnography, multiple sleep latency tests (MSLTs), maintenance of wakefulness tests (MWTs), and home sleep tests (HSTs). In medicine, sleep studies have been useful in identifying and ruling out various sleep disorders. Sleep studies have also been valuable to psychology, in which they have provided insight into brain activity and the other physiological factors of both sleep disorders and normal sleep. This has allowed further research to be done on the relationship between sleep and behavioral and psychological factors.

Utility

Depending on the method being used, sleep studies can help diagnose or rule out the following disorders:

• Sleep-related breathing disorders, such as sleep apnea
• Sleep-related seizure disorders
• Sleep-related movement disorders, such as periodic limb movement disorder, which is repeated muscle twitching of the feet, legs, or arms during sleep. Sleep studies may be used to diagnose or rule out restless legs syndrome (RLS). However, RLS usually is diagnosed based on signs and symptoms, medical history, and a physical exam.
• Problems sleeping at night (insomnia): caused by stress, depression, hunger, physical discomfort, or other problem.
• Sleep disorders that cause extreme daytime tiredness, such as narcolepsy or circadian rhythm sleep disorders.
• Problems with nighttime behaviors, such as sleepwalking, night terrors, or bed-wetting[3]
• Bruxism or grinding of the teeth during sleep[1]
• Problems sleeping during the day because of working at night or rotating shift work. This sleep problem is called shift work sleep disorder.
• Sleep studies can also determine problems with stages of sleep. The two primary categories of sleep are non-rapid eye movement (NREM) and rapid eye movement sleep (REM). Normally, four to five series of NREM and REM make up a night's sleep. A change in this cycle may make it hard to sleep soundly.

Types

The most common sleep studies are:

Polysomnogram

Polysomnography records several body functions during sleep, including brain activity, eye movement, oxygen and carbon dioxide blood levels, heart rate and rhythm, breathing rate and rhythm, the flow of air through the mouth and nose, snoring, body muscle movements, and chest and belly movement.These tests are typically done at night in a hospital or sleep center. Polysomnogram tests can give insight into what is going wrong with an individuals sleep and why the issue is occurring.

Multiple sleep latency test (MSLT)

The MSLT measures, by several nap opportunities in one day, how long it takes a person to fall asleep. It also determines whether REM sleep appears upon falling asleep. It is usually performed immediately after an overnight study. This test is the standard to test for narcolepsy and idiopathic hypersomnia.

Maintenance of wakefulness test (MWT)

This test measures whether a person can stay awake during a time when she or he is normally awake.the MSLT, the MWT is performed in a sleep diagnostic center over 4 - 5 nap periods. A mean sleep onset latency of less than 10 minutes is suggestive of excessive daytime sleepiness.

Home sleep test (HST)

These typically include the individual who's sleep is being studied receiving a portable monitor and may include other items such as a finger clip and an airflow sensor. Items measured include oxygen saturation, heart rate, airflow, body movement, time spent snoring, sleep position, and brain waves.

Sleep study in psychology

Sleep studies have been imperative for the empirical research of sleep psychology. The area of sleep psychology evaluates the physiological, and behavioral factors of normal sleep and sleep disorders along with the neuroscience and brain-wave activity associated with sleep, as well as the study of circadian rhythms.

Administers of sleep studies

Sleep Specialists are doctors that are board certified in sleep medicine. Some of the doctors that deal with sleep disorders and might order a sleep study are.

• Primary care physician

A doctor who provides first contact for a person wit an diagnosed health concern.

• Sleep specialists

Board-certified sleep medicine doctors have undergone special training and testing to ensure they can diagnose all sleep-related disorders, including sleep apnea.

• Neurologist

The neurologist treats disorders that affect the brain, spinal cord, and nerves.

• Psychiatrists

A medical practitioner specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of mental illness.

Dr. Council's comments Assignment 8

• I still don't see anything for this assignment, which was due on Monday. I emailed but got no response. I am giving you a grade of 0 in the hope that it will get your attention.

J.R. Council (talk) 00:01, 18 April 2019 (UTC)

Dr. Council's comments Assignment 8 and 9

This looks good, but not all of the reference citations are correct. Please replace the ones that are fudged with proper citations.

• Also, add links to additional terms that have Wikipedia articles associated, like primary care physician. J.R. Council (talk) 19:47, 25 April 2019 (UTC)

When you make these changes, you should be able to publish in main article space. I am sending the link to this article to Ian anyway, and will trust you to make final changes. J.R. Council (talk) 19:49, 25 April 2019 (UTC)
