The basic techniques applied for energy efficient networks are: (a) energy efficient protocols for routing, medium access, hand-off and (b) Adaptive Link Rate (ALR) techniques that scale link rate and utilize sleep states for energy-proportional computing [55].
Of the five strategies defined, we found that nurses who utilize sleep deprivation as a means to shift back to nocturnal sleep on days off (the "No Sleep" strategy) were the most poorly adapted, and that older and more experienced nurses were more likely to choose this strategy.
A distributed approach [47] utilizes sleep mode abilities of links in an ISP network with the knowledge of current link load instead of current traffic matrix.
Other studies utilizing partial sleep deprivation or repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation to treat depressed subjects also found NAS were not affected by either intervention regardless of response status (Schule et al. 2003; Padberg et al. 2005).
The VSH Sleep Scale utilizes three scales (sleep disturbance, sleep effectiveness, and sleep supplementation) to characterize overall sleep quality.
The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and the World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL-BREF) questionnaires were utilized to assess sleep quality and QOL characteristics, respectively.
The most frequently utilized were the sleep item of the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ), a FM-specific measure [[ 19]]; the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) [[ 20]]; the MOS-Sleep Scale [[ 21]]; the Epworth Sleepiness Scale [[ 22]]; and the Jenkins Scale for Sleep [[ 23]].
Although a few paradigms probed fear conditioning/extinction or utilized peripheral immune, sleep, and noninvasive imaging measures, we argue that these should be incorporated more to enhance translation.
Overall, this dataset compares favourably with studies that have utilized all available sleep data (r = 0.42), and a previous analysis of ours that had used alternate restrictions to control data quality (r = 0.71 [ 4]).
The present analysis, using the data-set from this previously published study [ 50], evaluated the effects of LDX on sleep parameters in adults with ADHD utilizing the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), a validated scale designed to measure overall sleep quality and related aspects of sleep [ 51].
