Objective: Sleep insufficiency is a common public health problem associated with various psychological and physical health outcomes. A recently proposed cause for sleep insufficiency is bedtime procrastination. Despite existing research about the concept, its underlying factors are mostly unclear. Considering the theoretical analogy between sleep time and the end of the day, the current study presents an explanation for bedtime procrastination. This study aims to examine the effect of future time perspective on bedtime procrastination and test the mediator role of purpose in life in this association. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional survey-based study was conducted with 317 participants. Each participant completed the measures of bedtime procrastination, future time perspective, purpose in life, self-control, circadian energy, and sleep quality. Results: The analyses revealed that higher future time perspectives predicted lower bedtime procrastination; and purpose in life fully mediated the association. This effect remained significant after controlling the effects of self-control and circadian energy. Conclusion: The results indicate that when people believe they have enough time in their life, they tend to procrastinate their bedtime less because they have a purpose for their future and focus less on momentary gains

Perceived Partner Responsiveness Predicts Better Sleep Quality Through Lower Anxiety
Selçuk, Emre; Stanton, Sarah C. E.; Slatcher, Richard B.; Ong, Anthony D. (2017-01-01)
The present study investigated whether perceived partner responsiveness-the extent to which individuals feel cared for, understood, and validated by their partner-predicted subjective sleep problems and objective (actigraph-based) sleep efficiency through lower anxiety and depression symptoms. A life span sample of 698 married or cohabiting adults (35-86 years old) completed measures of perceived partner responsiveness and subjective sleep problems. A subset of the sample (N = 219) completed a weeklong slee...
Leveraging Multimodal and Feature Selection Approaches to Improve Sleep Apnea Classification Performance
Memiş, Gökhan; Sert, Mustafa; Yazıcı, Adnan (2017-05-15)
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a sleep disorder with long-term adverse effects such as cardiovascular diseases. However, clinical methods, such as polisomnograms, have high monitoring costs due to long waiting times and hence efficient computer-based methods are needed for diagnosing OSA. In this study, we propose a method based on feature selection of fused oxygen saturation and electrocardiogram signals for OSA classification. Specifically, we use Relieff feature selection algorithm to obtain robust fea...

Adverse effects of COVID-19 are seen not only on the physical health of infected individuals but also on their subjective well-being. Sudden changes in social lives, lockdowns, and shifts towards online education have had a negative impact on many people, especially university students. As part of an international study, the current study focused on the well-being of students at Turkish universities in relation to social contact, academic satisfaction, and COVID-19 knowledge. A total of 7363 students from n...

A Framework for design and personalization of digital, just-in-time, adaptive interventions
Gönül, Suat; Coşar, Ahmet; Department of Computer Engineering (2018)
Adverse and suboptimal health behaviors and chronic diseases are responsible from a substantial majority of deaths globally. Studies show that personalized support programs yield better results in overcoming these undesired behaviors and diseases. Digital, just-in-time, adaptive interventions are mobile phone-based notifications that are being used to support people wherever and whenever needed in coping with the health problem. In this study, a framework is proposed for design and personalization of such i...
