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...
Circadian rhythms of psychomotor vigilance, mood, and sleepiness in the ultra-short sleep/wake protocolChristopher E Kline
Department of Exercise Science, Arnold School of Public Health, University of South Carolina, Columbia, South Carolina 29208, USA
Chronobiol Int 27:161-80. 2010..However, neither sleepiness nor performance was worse on the second day of observation compared to the first day. These data provide further support for the use of the ultra-short sleep/wake protocol for measurement of circadian rhythms...
Circadian variation in swim performanceChristopher E Kline
Dept of Exercise Science, Arnold School of Public Health, Univ of South Carolina, 1300 Wheat St, Columbia, SC 29208, USA
J Appl Physiol 102:641-9. 2007..Mean swim performance was 169.5 s; circadian variation from peak to worst performance was 5.8 s. These data suggest a circadian rhythm in athletic performance independent of environmental and behavioral masking effects...
No effect of 8-week time in bed restriction on glucose tolerance in older long sleepersMark R Zielinski
Department of Exercise Science, Arnold School of Public Health, University of South Carolina, Columbia, SC 29208, USA
J Sleep Res 17:412-9. 2008..These results suggest that healthy older long sleepers can tolerate 8 weeks of moderate TIB restriction without impairments in glucose tolerance or insulin sensitivity...

Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Cancer Prevention and Control Program, University of South Carolina, 915 Greene Street, Columbia, SC 29208, USA
Integr Cancer Ther 8:329-36. 2009..Biological processes linking circadian disruption with cancer remain to be elucidated. Increased inflammatory cytokine secretion may play a role...

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...
