Long sleep and mortality: rationale for sleep restrictionShawn D Youngstedt
Department of Psychiatry and Sam and Rose Stein Institute for Research on Aging, University of California, San Diego, Mail Code 0667, 9500 Gilman Dr, La Jolla, CA 92093, USA
Sleep Med Rev 8:159-74. 2004..Sleep restriction may be most beneficial for older adults, who tend to spend excessive time in bed and have more sleep fragmentation compared with young adults...
Age-related changes of circadian rhythms and sleep-wake cyclesIn-Young Yoon
Department of Psychiatry and Sam and Rose Stein Institute for Research on Aging, University of California at San Diego, La Jolla 92093, USA
J Am Geriatr Soc 51:1085-91. 2003..Early awakening in older adults cannot be explained simply by a relative phase advance of the circadian system. Evening naps and advanced illumination may play a role in the advance of the circadian system in aging...
Actigraphy suggests age-related differences in napping and nocturnal sleepIn Young Yoon
Department of Psychiatry and Sam and Rose Stein, Institute for Research on Aging, University of California, San Diego, CA 92093 0667, USA
J Sleep Res 12:87-93. 2003..Maintaining alertness during the evening (e.g. by bright light exposure or moderate exercise) would be a possible approach to delay wake-up times in older adults...
No association of 6-sulfatoxymelatonin with in-bed 60-Hz magnetic field exposure or illumination level among older adultsShawn D Youngstedt
Department of Psychiatry, University of California at San Diego, La Jolla, California, 92093, USA
Environ Res 89:201-9. 2002..Illumination acrophase and amplitude were significantly associated with aMT6s acrophase. These data suggest no influence of nocturnal environmental MF exposure on aMT6s excretion in older adults...
Illumination of upper and middle visual fields produces equivalent suppression of melatonin in older volunteersJulian S Smith
The Sam and Rose Stein Institute for Research on Aging, Department of Psychiatry, University of California, San Diego, La Jolla 92093-0667, USA
Chronobiol Int 19:883-91. 2002..Clinical comparative testing would be valuable. In addition, this study demonstrates that significant suppression of melatonin may be achieved through the use of bright light in healthy older volunteers...
Luteinizing hormone following light exposure in healthy young menIn-Young Yoon
Department of Psychiatry and Sam and Rose Stein, Institute for Research on Aging, 0667, University of California, 9500 Gilman Drive, La Jolla, San Diego, CA 92093-0667, USA
Neurosci Lett 341:25-8. 2003..The acrophases and offsets of aMT6s were advanced, but the duration of aMT6s excretion was not changed after BL. Light stimulation of LH could have interesting applications in psychiatry and reproductive endocrinology...
PRC bisection testsDaniel F Kripke
Department of Psychiatry, University of California, San Diego, California 92093 0667, USA
Chronobiol Int 20:1117-23. 2003..Also, the bisection procedure yields an estimate of the inflection point of the phase response curve. A method is given to estimate the power of the PRC bisection test...
Ceiling and floor effects in sleep researchShawn D Youngstedt
Department of Psychiatry and Sam and Rose, Stein Institute for Research on Aging, University of California, San Diego, California 92093 0667, USA
Sleep Med Rev 7:351-65. 2003..The results show powerful CF influences on sleep responses to hypnotics and exercise and suggest a need for comparing these treatments in poor sleepers...
Melatonin excretion with affect disorders over age 60Daniel F Kripke
Department of Psychiatry, University of California, San Diego, La Jolla, CA 92093 0667, USA
Psychiatry Res 118:47-54. 2003..These results are only weakly consistent with a photoperiodic hypothesis of depression...
Weak evidence of bright light effects on human LH and FSHDaniel F Kripke
Department of Psychiatry, University of California, San Diego, La Jolla, California 92093, USA
J Circadian Rhythms 8:5. 2010..There is some evidence that seasonal breeding in humans is regulated by similar mechanisms, and that light stimulates LH secretion, but primate responses seem complex...
Tolerance of chronic 90-minute time-in-bed restriction in older long sleepersShawn D Youngstedt
Department of Exercise Science, Arnold School of Public Health, University of South Carolina, Columbia, SC 29208, USA
Sleep 32:1467-79. 2009..To examine the influence of chronic time-in-bed (TIB) restriction on selected health-related outcome variables in older long sleepers...
Does bright light have an anxiolytic effect? - an open trialShawn D Youngstedt
Department of Exercise Science, Norman J, Arnold School of Public Health University of South Carolina, Columbia, SC 29208 USA
BMC Psychiatry 7:62. 2007..The aim of this open trial was to examine the influence of acute bright light exposure on anxiety in older and young adults...
Effects of exercise on sleepShawn D Youngstedt
Department of Exercise Science, Norman J Arnold School of Public Health, University of South Carolina, 1300 Wheat Street, Columbia, SC 29208, USA
Clin Sports Med 24:355-65, xi. 2005..Other behavioral/cognitive treatments are more effective for chronic insomnia treatment, but difficult and costly to deliver. By contrast, exercise could be a healthy, safe, inexpensive, and simple means of improving sleep...
Bright light treatment for high-anxious young adults: a randomized controlled pilot studyShawn D Youngstedt
Department of Exercise Science, Arnold School of Public Health, University of South Carolina, 921 Assembly Street, Columbia, SC 29208, USA
Depress Anxiety 28:324-32. 2011..Available treatments for anxiety have limitations and/or side effects. The aim of this study was to examine the influence of bright light exposure as a treatment in high-anxious young adults...
Circadian phase response curves to light in older and young women and menDaniel F Kripke
Department of Psychiatry and Sam and Rose Stein Institute on Aging, University of California, San Diego 0667, La Jolla, California 92093 0667, USA
J Circadian Rhythms 5:4. 2007..This study tested the hypotheses that older adults have absent or weaker phase-shift responses to light (3000 lux), and that women's responses might differ from those of men...
No association of sleep with total daily physical activity in normal sleepersShawn D Youngstedt

Physiol Behav 78:395-401. 2003..These results fail to support epidemiologic data on the value of exercise for sleep, but are consistent with experimental evidence showing only modest effects of exercise on sleep...
Circadian phase-delaying effects of bright light alone and combined with exercise in humansShawn D Youngstedt
