Substance Use Disorders Affecting Sleep01:24

Substance Use Disorders Affecting Sleep

556
Substance use disorders involve a pattern of using drugs more extensively than intended and continuing use despite harmful consequences. This includes legal substances like alcohol and nicotine, as well as illegal drugs. These disorders often involve both physical and psychological dependence, reflecting compulsive use of substances that significantly alter thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, contributing to a major public health issue.

Insufficient Sleep and Sleep Deprivation01:13

Insufficient Sleep and Sleep Deprivation

1.3K
Insufficient sleep refers to not getting the recommended amount of sleep for optimal functioning, even if it's just slightly less than needed. Sleep insufficiency may occur due to lifestyle choices, such as staying up late for social events or work, resulting in routinely getting less sleep than required. For example, consistently sleeping 6 hours when the body needs 7-9 hours can lead to cumulative effects on health and well-being.
Sleep deprivation is a more severe form of sleep loss...

Cause and Effect01:53

Cause and Effect

12.7K
While variables are sometimes correlated because one does cause the other, it could also be that some other factor, a confounding variable, is actually causing the systematic movement in our variables of interest. For instance, as sales in ice cream increase, so does the overall rate of crime. Is it possible that indulging in your favorite flavor of ice cream could send you on a crime spree? Or, after committing crime do you think you might decide to treat yourself to a cone?

Bullying02:04

Bullying

9.0K
A modern form of aggression is bullying. As you learn in your study of child development, socializing and playing with other children is beneficial for children’s psychological development. However, as you may have experienced as a child, not all play behavior has positive outcomes. Some children are aggressive and want to play roughly. Other children are selfish and do not want to share toys. One form of negative social interactions among children that has become a national concern is...

Correlations02:20

Correlations

37.1K
Correlation means that there is a relationship between two or more variables (such as ice cream consumption and crime), but this relationship does not necessarily imply cause and effect. When two variables are correlated, it simply means that as one variable changes, so does the other. We can measure correlation by calculating a statistic known as a correlation coefficient. A correlation coefficient is a number from -1 to +1 that indicates the strength and direction of the relationship between...

REM Sleep Behavior Disorder01:15

REM Sleep Behavior Disorder

2.6K
REM Sleep Behavior Disorder (RBD) is a sleep disorder characterized by the absence of muscle paralysis that normally occurs during the REM phase of sleep. This absence allows individuals to physically act out their dreams, which are often vivid and disturbing. Common behaviors exhibited during episodes include kicking, punching, and yelling. These actions can be dangerous, potentially leading to injuries for the person with RBD or their bed partner.
RBD is significantly associated with...

Area of Science:

  • Child and Adolescent Psychology
  • Sleep Medicine
  • Social Psychology

Background:

  • Peer victimization is a significant stressor for children and adolescents.
  • Existing research indicates a correlation between peer victimization and sleep disturbances.
  • A comprehensive understanding of this relationship requires quantitative synthesis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a meta-analysis examining the association between peer victimization and sleeping problems.
  • To synthesize findings from multiple studies to determine the overall effect size.
  • To explore potential moderators, such as age, influencing this relationship.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature search across major databases (PsycINFO, MEDLINE, ERIC, Embase, LILACS).
  • Inclusion of 21 articles comprising 46 independent effect sizes.
  • Analysis of data from 363,539 children and adolescents aged 7–19 years.

Main Results:

  • A significant positive relationship was found between peer victimization and sleeping problems.
  • Publication bias did not substantially affect the overall findings.
  • Moderator analysis indicated a stronger association in younger children compared to older adolescents.

Conclusions:

  • Peer victimization is robustly associated with increased prevalence and severity of sleeping problems.
  • Sleep disturbances may serve as a potential indicator of peer victimization in children and adolescents.
  • Interventions addressing peer victimization should consider the impact on sleep and vice versa.
