Changes in hormonal levels associated with enforced interval copulation and anxiety in sexually inexperienced and experienced male rats
2017, Physiology and BehaviorCitation Excerpt :This increase may be associated with the excitation and alert [12,14] states that male rats need to meet the demand involved in sexual performance [5]. It has also been suggested that increased CORT concentrations indicate a condition of stress or anxiety in males when they are not allowed to ejaculate [42,43] however, our data showed that this increase was significantly higher in the males with sexual experience that reached ejaculation. Hence, these data confirm the participation of CORT levels in the activation and alert states required for sexual behavior.
Examining the Relationship Between Worry and Sleep: A Daily Process Approach
2016, Behavior TherapyCitation Excerpt :Fourth, our results may not generalize to nonanxious populations. Anxious individuals’ sleep characteristics differ from those of nonanxious individuals (Rosa, Bonnet, & Kramer, 1983), and state anxiety is significantly correlated with sleep onset latency among insomniacs but not among normal sleepers (Chambers & Kim, 1993). Given that we examined the relationship between worry and sleep among high trait worriers, it is quite possible that the relationship between these variables is different for individuals who do not experience high levels of worry.
Polysomnographic sleep patterns of non-depressed, non-medicated children with generalized anxiety disorder
2013, Journal of Affective DisordersCitation Excerpt :A previous study of anxious children (Forbes et al., 2008) did not find evidence of REM sleep alteration, however differences could be explained by a singular focus on GAD which is associated with a greater frequency of sleep disruption than other anxiety disorders (Alfano et al., 2006; Alfano et al., 2010). It is also important to note that although REM abnormalities have generally not been identified in adults with GAD (Rosa et al., 1983; Saletu et al., 1994; Fuller et al., 1997; Reynolds et al., 1983), methodological limitations of this research, including the use of inpatient samples, sub-clinical GAD symptoms, and/or former DSM GAD criteria which demonstrated poor diagnostic reliability, should be considered (Andrews et al., 2010). On the other hand, there is limited evidence to suppose that the pathophysiology of GAD is identical across the developmental spectrum and that the disorder reflects the same condition at different ages.
Anxiety correlates with somatic symptoms and sleep status at high altitudes
2013, Physiology and BehaviorCitation Excerpt :Most data obtained from questionnaires were not normally distributed. Rosa [39] found that anxious individuals had significantly less total sleep time. In addition, many people with insomnia feel sleepy in the daytime, and ESS provides a measurement for the sleepiness in the day.
