Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2013/Sleep and emotion

Previous chapters/work
I'm letting you know that there has been some previous work in this area in previous years. See below with suggestions on how to build upon this previous work - or we can adjust the 2013 chapter to have a different focus of the title/subtitle:
 * Motivation and emotion/Textbook/Emotion/Sleep - This is a 2010 textbook style chapter. The 2013 chapter should have less textbook style content, link to other relevant content (e.g., what is an emotion etc.) and introduce more of a self-help focus.
 * Sleep, energy and fatigue - This is an incomplete 2010 textbook style chapter.
 * Sleep and negative emotions - This is a below Pass-level 2011 self-help book chapter
 * Sleep and happiness - This is a reasonable 2011 self-help book chapter that could be improved

So, what is still needed is a good self-help chapter on sleep and emotion. This chapter can draw on (e.g., summarise) and link to previous work. Check the comments on the previous chapter discussion pages for other suggestions about what could be improved.

HI,

just wondering if its ok to link to your page - I'm doing emotions in early childhood and sleep is a pretty important component! Sleep is a huge topic but have you considered incorporating a paragraph on sleep in children and adolescents? It has a really big impact on their emotions and mental health - I've just done a lit review on the topic and can point you at some references if you want them.

This one is about sleep recommendations and is an interesting look at the history of them and the limitations due to a pretty much complete lack of any empirical evidence

Matricciani, L. A., Olds, T. S., Blunden, S., Rigney, G., & Williams, M. T. (2012). Never Enough Sleep: A Brief History of Sleep Recommendations for Children. Pediatrics, 129(3), 548-556.

These two both have some interesting overall information - Carskadon in particular did some research in the 70's/80's where they demonstrated that adolescents dont need less sleep than children (even though they consistently get less sleep) - that study is referenced in the Wolfson paper and might be relevant for you where you've described the recommened sleep.

Gregory, A. M., & Sadeh, A. (2012). Sleep, emotional and behavioral difficulties in children and adolescents. Sleep medicine reviews, 16(2), 129-136.

Wolfson, A. R., & Carskadon, M. A. (1998). Sleep schedules and daytime functioning in adolescents. Child development, 69(4), 875-887.

Another thing that was constantly referred to in the literature was sleep hygiene is one way to prevent sleep problems- these papers refer to it and probably link to more detailed references.

Calamaro, C. J., Mason, T. B., & Ratcliffe, S. J. (2009). Adolescents living the 24/7 lifestyle: effects of caffeine and technology on sleep duration and daytime functioning. Pediatrics, 123(6), e1005-e1010.

Heussler, H. S. (2005). Common causes of sleep disruption and daytime sleepiness: childhood sleep disorders II. Med J Aust, 182(9), 484-489.

Hope these are helpful - your chapter is looking great so far.

All the best

http://psychologytoday.tests.psychtests.com/take_test.php?idRegTest=1329 - Ashleigh posted a link to a bunch of psych quizzes on Moodle, this one is perfect for your page. Its a sleep hygiene quiz. V VanessaQ (discuss • contribs) 06:16, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

Hey!, So as I suffer from lack of quality sleep I read your page with interest!. You have made some great progress. You have a way with words that grabs the readers attention and I like how you incorporated the quote and tips.

I have a couple of suggestions although I know you are not finished but just a thought for you anyway. 1) are you considering explaining the difference between REM and NREM cycles of sleep perhaps in the introduction and if emotion impacts on one of these cycles particularly more then another cycle and if so then how that impacts quality or quantity of sleep? 2) perhaps too in the contraindications removing the "what am I doing wrong" as some of the factors listed people cant control such as age and depression. If that makes sense?

Keep up the good work! Im looking forward to reading your completed assignment! :)

Hey, it might be a little bit late now, but I was just wondering if there was any truth behind the expression "emotionally draining". I know that whenever I feel sad I want nothing more than to curl up and go to sleep... Is it possible that our emotional states effect how sleepy we are? JodieVeitch (discuss • contribs)
