Sleep disorders (SD) affect approximately one-third of the world population. The presence of SDs occurs at all ages although the presentation and subsequent consequences for an individual’s health change in accordance with the natural aging process. Currently, evaluation of SD is inadequate across all age ranges as it is compromised by under reporting and by relying on self-report rather than professional sleep studies (i.e., nocturnal polysomnography (NP) and multiple sleep latency tests (MSLT)). Moreover, there is a paucity of data specific to older adults. We constructed a 111-item questionnaire to use in conjunction with NP, MSLT, the Epworth Sleepiness Scale …

Creativity is a highly sought after skill. To inspire people’s creativity, prescriptive advice in the form of metaphors abound: We are encouraged to think outside the box, to consider the problem on one hand, then on the other hand, and to put two and two together to achieve creative breakthroughs. These metaphors suggest a connection between concrete bodily experiences and creative cognition. Inspired by recent advances on body-mind linkages under the emerging vernacular of embodied cognition, we explored for the first time whether enacting metaphors for creativity enhances creative problem-solving. In five studies, findings revealed that both physically and psychologically …
The Capricious Relationship Shared By Sleep Disorders And Depression: Searching For Causal Primacy, Pennie Seibert, Christian Zimmerman, Fred Grimsley
The Capricious Relationship Shared By Sleep Disorders And Depression: Searching For Causal Primacy, Pennie Seibert, Christian Zimmerman, Fred Grimsley
Pennie S. Seibert
Introduction: Depression is pervasive throughout the world and is often associated with sleep disorders (SDs). Both disorders compromise cognition, emotional well-being, and general health. The extent of these relationships has not been clearly ascertained because of significant rates of under or inadequate diagnoses along with a multitude of intervening variables associated with disease symptomatology. Investigations are further constrained by difficulty in acquiring valid data from people whose diagnoses have included complete nocturnal polysomnography (NP) and multiple sleep latency tests (MSLT).
Method: We constructed an 111-item questionnaire to use in conjunction with NPS, MSLT, the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), and medical …

Diabetes And Sleep Disorders: The Complex Web Of Intervening Variables, Pennie Seibert
Pennie S. Seibert
Sleep disorders (SDs) are present in approximately 30% of the world population and are associated with prolific health problems. Researchers are beginning to examine relationships shared by SDs and diabetes to illuminate relevant covariance. The extent of these relationships has been constrained by difficulty in acquiring valid data from people whose diagnoses are based on a complete nocturnal polysomnography (NP) and multiple sleep latency tests (MSLT). We constructed an 111-item questionnaire to use in conjunction with nocturnal polysomnography studies (NPS), multiple sleep latency tests, the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), and medical chart reviews of people referred for evaluation of SDs. …
The Complex Web Of Intervening Variables Shared By Chronic Pain And Sleep Disorders, Pennie Seibert, J. Valerio, C. Zimmerman
The Complex Web Of Intervening Variables Shared By Chronic Pain And Sleep Disorders, Pennie Seibert, J. Valerio, C. Zimmerman
Pennie S. Seibert
Background and aims: An estimated that 20% of the world's population suffers from chronic pain (CP) and 25% experience sleep disturbances. The concomitance of CP and sleep disorders (SD) negatively impact general health and well-being. Investigations of this complex relationship have been constrained by difficulty in acquiring valid data from people whose SD diagnoses are based on complete nocturnal polysomnography (NP) and multiple sleep latency tests (MSLT).
Methods: We constructed an 111-item questionnaire to use in conjunction with nocturnal polysomnography studies (NPS), multiple sleep latency tests, the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), and medical chart reviews of people referred for evaluation …
