This study aims to examine the relationship between hours worked, sleep, gender, and employment status. A literature review found that longer work hours can reduce sleep quality and quantity due to increased stress. However, existing research has not examined how gender interacts with work hours to impact sleep. The study will distribute a 9-item questionnaire to 30 students to collect data on demographics, work hours, and sleep habits. Results will analyze correlations between independent variables (gender, work hours) and the dependent variable (hours of sleep) using statistical tests like Pearson's correlation. The study seeks to understand if gender modifies the relationship between work hours and sleep.
This document summarizes research on the effects of napping on cognitive functioning. It finds that:
1) Brief naps of 5-15 minutes can improve alertness and cognitive performance immediately after waking for 1-3 hours, with little to no sleep inertia.
2) Longer naps of over 30 minutes can initially impair performance due to sleep inertia, but then improve cognition for longer, up to many hours.
3) Other factors like nap timing and prior wakefulness also influence nap benefits, with early afternoon naps being most effective.
This document summarizes research on the effects of napping on cognitive functioning. It finds that:
1) Brief naps of 5-15 minutes can improve alertness and cognitive performance immediately after waking, lasting 1-3 hours.
2) Longer naps of over 30 minutes can initially impair performance due to "sleep inertia" but then improve cognition for longer, up to many hours.
3) Naps are most beneficial when taken in the early afternoon, as this aligns with the circadian rhythm of peak sleepiness. Earlier or later naps have less recuperative effects.
The Effect of Working Hours on Health Care Expenditure in the United StatesNick Shepherd
This document discusses a study investigating the relationship between working hours and health care expenditure in the United States. It provides background on trends showing Americans working increasingly long hours without using vacation time. The study aims to quantify how working hours affects health and whether this correlates with higher health care costs. Literature is reviewed showing relationships between long work hours and poorer health outcomes like cardiovascular issues. Descriptive statistics are provided on data from the Current Population Survey used in the analysis.
This study examined the relationship between daily physical activity and sleep quality and quantity in college students using Fitbit devices. 11 college students wore Fitbits for 2 weeks to track their active minutes and sleep data. Preliminary descriptive results found a strong positive relationship between average active minutes per day and average hours slept per night, supporting the hypothesis that more activity leads to more sleep. A weaker positive relationship was also found between average active minutes and average number of awakenings per night. With a larger sample, the researchers aim to conduct statistical analyses and further examine potential bidirectional relationships between physical activity and sleep.

We draw from the Ego Depletion model and research on sleep physiology to predict a relationship
between lack of sleep and individuals’ unethical behavior. Laboratory studies showed that sleep quantity
is positively related to self-control resources and negative associated with unethical behavior. In a crosssectional field study examining unethical behavior in a variety of work settings, low levels of sleep, and
low perceived quality of sleep, were both positively related to unethical behavior as rated by the supervisor, and cognitive fatigue mediated the influence of sleep quantity. In an experience sampling field
study, we found similar effects within-individuals. We discuss the role of lost sleep in better understanding unethical behavior in organizations.
This document summarizes four studies on motivation in industrial and organizational psychology. The first study examined how intrinsic and extrinsic motivation affected the recovery potential of off-job activities for nurses. It found that intrinsically motivated nurses were better able to recover from work stress through leisure activities. The second study looked at how need satisfaction relates to autonomous motivation, and found that positive affect mediates this relationship. The third study analyzed how empowering leadership styles influence work engagement through psychological need satisfaction. It determined that empowering leadership satisfies needs and increases work engagement. The fourth study explored how meaningful work impacts work centrality. It concluded that meaningful work strengthens work centrality both directly and indirectly through need satisfaction.
HOW CAN SLEEP DEPRIVATION IMPACTS VIGILANCE RESPONSE TIMES: AN ANALYSIS OF SL...KaylahPolzin
- The document is a research paper that analyzes the impact of sleepiness on response times during a vigilance task called the Psychomotor Vigilance Test (PVT).
- The study found a strong, positive correlation between self-reported sleepiness levels and increased lapses (slower response times over 500ms) on the PVT, suggesting increased sleepiness is linked to poorer cognitive performance. However, there was no correlation found between hours slept and PVT lapses.
- The findings indicate that feeling sleepy, rather than simply hours slept, is a better predictor of vigilance and sustained attention performance according to the PVT results. This suggests sleepiness significantly impacts cognitive functions like vigilance.
This document summarizes research on sleep loss and fatigue in shift work and shift work disorder. Key points:
- Shift work that includes night shifts can negatively impact sleep, sleepiness, performance, health risks like cardiovascular disease and cancer due to circadian misalignment.
- Night shifts are associated with shorter sleep durations of 4-6 hours compared to daytime sleep. Rapid shift rotations also reduce total sleep.
- Physiological measures show increased sleepiness in night shift workers, with some even experiencing brief episodes of sleep during work hours.
- Both objective and subjective measures indicate high levels of sleepiness in night shift workers, especially towards the end of the night shift. Countermeasures can help but may not eliminate negative impacts

The document discusses how much sleep people need. It notes that while most people think they need more sleep than they actually do, studies show there is no consensus on the precise amount of sleep required. Experiments depriving subjects of sleep for short periods found little impact on performance, and people can stay awake for days in emergencies, then recover with only 12 hours of sleep. However, the ability to bypass sleep in emergencies can be dangerous if it leads people to believe they can function without sleep when they really cannot.

Abstract
Sleep disorders have several impacts on overall health. With the increase in sleep disorders over the last few years, there is a need to identify some of the most common causes of sleep disorders and if factors such as age, gender, ethnicity and social status may be considered as risk factors. Different studies have been done to determine the impacts of sleep disorders on an individual’s overall health. The central focus of this research is to review some of these studies, and come up with a conclusion that tends to bring out these health impacts that are associated with sleep disorders, particularly, sleep deprivation.
Introduction
Sleep is considered as a biological process and it has regularly been essential for good life and optimal health (Wells & Vaughn, 2012). Sleep has been essential in controlling brain functioning, and even in other biological and systematic processes such as metabolism, regulation of appetite, and improving one’s immunity against a number of diseases, especially in children. Normally, a good sleep is associated by the duration of the sleep, the quality, and regularity among other factors. Although a number of studies, and even media, have covered the health benefits of sleep, more than 70 million individuals in the US are still suffering from sleep-related disorders, and moreover, in Europe, approximately 45 million people are also victims of these disorders. For instance, a study conferred that of all the car accidents that occur in the US, 20% are as a result of lack of enough sleep, or other disorders associated wit either too much sleep or lack of enough sleep (Palma et al., 2013).
There are a number of consequences that may arise as a result of sleep loss and other sleep-related disorders. As conveyed by Ming et al. (2011), the most common consequences that may be related to sleep include judgment errors, which may lead to disastrous events. On the other pedestal, some of the less visible consequences of sleep disorder include increased mortality and morbidity rate, car accidents and injuries, QoL, the well-being of the family, and utilization of healthcare services among the affected persons. Some of these consequences may arise a few minutes after having less hours of sleep, or too much sleep. However, there are some long-term impacts of sleep, for instance, obesity and hypertension. Sleeping for a longer duration enhances the body’s inactivity and this is greatly associated with obesity, which may also give chance to the development of hypertension and other cardiovascular complications. According to Ming et al. (2011), there are approximately 90-100 sleep disorders which may result from factors such as environmental factors, psychosocial issues, and ot ...
Sleep plays an important role in learning and memory formation by promoting the growth of dendritic spines which connect neurons. A study found that mice who learned a balancing task and then slept showed greater dendritic growth than mice who stayed awake, suggesting sleep helps the brain form connections to support long-term memory. Getting enough quality sleep can enhance learning, manage stress levels, support weight control, and improve decision making abilities.
The document discusses why organisms need sleep. The NIH recommends 7-8 hours of sleep per night for adults, but many people report getting less. Fatal familial insomnia is a rare genetic disorder where people are completely unable to sleep, leading to rapid cognitive decline and death within 1-3 years, showing sleep is necessary for survival. Experiments depriving rats of sleep found they all died within 2-4 weeks, though autopsies found no clear cause of death. Several theories for why we sleep are discussed, with the most viable being that sleep has a restorative function, allowing the brain to clear out metabolic waste that builds up during waking hours.

Re:Module 6 DQ 2
What is the most significant effect of injuries to or abnormalities in the hypothalamus on behavior? Why is this effect the most significant?
The hypothalamus is involved in different functions; regulating homeostasis, motivation and emotional behavior by controlling autonomic and endocrine activity (Chen, Lin & Chang, 2013). Thus, it is a vital gland that communicates information from the thalamus to the pituitary gland allowing the release of pituitary hormones in response to changes in the autonomic nervous system. Any damage to the hypothalamus can affect the production or secretion of several hormones; Waterhouse (2012) discusses, growth, luteinsing, follicle stimulating, prolactin, cortisol, adrenocorticotropic, thyroid stimulating, testosterone and oestradiol hormones as being significant and leading to serious effects, both physical and psychological. The dysfunction in hormone levels affect a person’s quality of life by disrupting physical processes and behavior. According to Waterhouse (2012) hormonal imbalance can lead to having a negative impact affecting growth, the immune system, metabolism, puberty, sexual maturation, and the body’s reaction to stress; in addition to altering behaviors causing depression and possibly leading to suicidal behavior (Hongwei et al., 2013).

Putting aside opinions you may have regarding humane issues, consider that sleep deprivation has been used as a means of torture for many years. What are its primary effects, and why would these effects be considered useful in interrogation?
According to Lo, et al. (2012), during total sleep deprivation, cognitive performance declines and executive functions are severely disrupted (p. 1-2). The authors also mention that sustained attention, which is exceedingly important to higher levels of cognition, is very much affected by sleep deprivation (p. 10). I am of the opinion that any college student would be able to testify to the side-effects of sleep deprivation, even though not brought on by torturous methods.
Bulkeley (2014) mentions several side effects of sleep deprivation, including irritability, inability to concentrate, and fatigue. As the time of deprivation continues, reading and speaking will deteriorate along with a drop in body temperature, an increase in appetite, and poor judgment. If the ...
1) Aerobic exercise improves subjective sleep quality through multiple mechanisms such as improved mood, light exposure during exercise, and changes in hormone secretion.
2) Studies show that aerobic exercise programs over 12-16 weeks significantly improve subjective sleep quality scores according to questionnaires. However, factors like mood and light exposure during exercise also influence sleep quality.
3) Both subjective and objective sleep measures like polysomnography show improvements with regular aerobic exercise, though more research is still needed to fully understand the direct impacts of exercise on sleep. Overall, aerobic exercise promotes better sleep quality and total health.
Dissertation Night work - Altered sleep - wake Cycles and the Circadian Body ...Sook Yen Wong
This document discusses the biological effects of night work on the human circadian rhythm and sleep-wake cycle. It begins by outlining the need for night work in modern society and the short and long term problems it can cause, including disrupted sleep, poorer health, and increased accident risk. It then describes the circadian body clock located in the brain's hypothalamus, which regulates daily biological rhythms through clock genes like Period and influences sleep, temperature, and hormone levels. Night work conflicts with the body clock's natural preference for daytime activity and nighttime sleep. Adjusting to night shifts can be difficult and is associated with negative health, social, and safety impacts.
This document discusses individual differences and their assessment in psychology. It begins with a brief history of the field starting in 1876 with Wundt, who sought to uncover general principles of human behavior. One of his students, James McKeen Cattell, began measuring differences between people using psychological variables, laying the foundation for differential psychology. The document then outlines the basic assumptions made by industrial-organizational psychologists regarding individual differences and their relation to job success. It proceeds to discuss key human attributes assessed, including intelligence, physical and sensory abilities, psychomotor skills, personality, and models like the Big Five personality factors.

Written Lecture
Chapter 5: Body Rhythms and Mental States
Do you ever find yourself daydreaming? Have you caught yourself drifting in and
out of a conversation only to realize that you were in a hypnogogic state?
Research purports that consciousness ebbs and flows instead of remaining in a
constant, discrete state, as has been argued.
Wade & Tavris (2011) explain that our conscious thoughts in one state can
directly filter over into another area of consciousness. Cartwright (1974) posited
that our conscious thoughts can have a direct correlation to our dreams. She
argued that if one spent a great deal of the day contemplating a particular
thought, in all likelihood that same thought, or a slight variation, would manifest
in the individual’s dreams that night (Cartwright, 1974). What do you think? Has
this ever happened to you? As you read this chapter, you will gain better insight
into our conscious thoughts and behaviors, as well as our sleeping patterns. Are
these areas somehow intertwined? Are there linkages that actually exist that can
explain why we have certain dreams? What is the true function of our dreams?
As you continue throughout your readings, begin to examine your own sleeping
patterns. Do you ever find yourself feeling drowsy for seemingly no reason at
all? Many argue that our industrialized society might be the culprit behind our
sleep deprivation. One’s biological clock sometimes gets out of sync due to
exposure to bright lights. Research has studied the effects of too much exposure
to bright lights on one’s internal clock. Experiments have even been conducted
that capitalize on this theory to treat seasonal affective disorder. As you go
throughout your day, begin to notice when you feel sleepiness creeping upon
you. Do you have an established bedtime ritual? What happens if you do not get
to bed at your “normal” hour? How is the next day altered if you did not get an
adequate amount of rest? This chapter will expose the reader to many elements
related to body rhythms, and the importance of dreams.
Further examination of this chapter will prompt one to examine the controversy
related to hypnosis. Many argue that some individual ...

The tittle of the study is “Sleep, Memory, and Aging: The Link between Slow-Wave Sleep and Episodic Memory Changes from Younger to Older Adults” written by Michael K. Scullin. It aims to uncover the relationship between slow wave sleep and the ability of humans to retain memory. Slow wave sleep is the deep sleep that occurs during non-rapid eye movement. It is called slow wave sleep because at this stage of slumber, the brain electrical activity is synchronized with slow waves of low frequency. Previous research has proven that slow wave sleep is crucial to the retaining of memory but until now, the dynamics of this relationship was not clear(Scullin, 2013).
In conducting the research, the researcher is trying to determine the correlation between slow wave sleep, memory retention, and aging. The author of the research aims to link together these three seemingly distinct variables and create a conceptual theory that explains how aging memory and deep sleep are related. The researcher asks a series of questions that help to guide the research process. These questions are, is there a correlation between short weave sleep in humans and memory consolidation? If so how significant is this relationship, is short wave sleep crucial to the memory consolidation process? The researchers then measure the amount of short wave sleep that young and old adults get. They compare this information with the increasing reduction in the ability to retain memory, as adults grow older and attempt to make a connection to the lesser amounts of short wave sleep that older adults get(Scullin, 2013).
Qualitative research is exploratory research conducted to gain an understanding of the underlying reasons of a problem. Qualitative research aims to provide a detailed description of the research process. Qualitative research is usually conducted a precursor to quantitative research.
Quantitative data aims to quantify the problem by generating numerical data. This data is then converted to useful statistics. Quantitative research is used to quantify behaviors, opinions, attitudes among numerous other variables. The mandate of quantitative research is to provide a clearer picture using statistical methods. A quantitative researcher uses tool such as surveys, questionnaires, and measurements.
The research conducted by Michael K. Scullin is quantitative in nature. In his research, he aims to uncover the relationship between slow wave sleep and memory by measuring sleep patterns and memory retention abilities of adults. Among the measurement taken are, time spent sleeping, age and ability to recall memory. In order to test the ability to recall memory the participants were given word pair combination to memorize before sleep. They were quizzed on th.

Assignment 2 Case of Anna OOne of the very first cases that c.docxBenitoSumpter862
Assignment 2: Case of Anna O
One of the very first cases that caught Freud’s attention when he was starting to develop his psychoanalytic theory was that of Anna O, a patient of fellow psychiatrist Josef Breuer. Although Freud did not directly treat her, he did thoroughly analyze her case as he was fascinated by the fact that her hysteria was “cured” by Breuer. It is her case that he believes was the beginning of the psychoanalytic approach.
Through your analysis of this case, you will not only look deeper into Freud’s psychoanalytic theory but also see how Jung’s neo-psychoanalytic theory compares and contrasts with Freud’s theory.
Review the following:
The Case of Anna O.
One of the first cases that inspired Freud in the development of what would eventually become the Psychoanalytic Theory was the case of Anna O. Anna O. was actually a patient of one of Freud’s colleagues Josef Breuer. Using Breuer’s case notes, Freud was able to analyze the key facts of Anna O’s case.
Anna O. first developed her symptoms while she was taking care of her very ill father with whom she was extremely close. Some of her initial symptoms were loss of appetite to the extent of not eating, weakness, anemia, and development a severe nervous cough. Eventually she developed a severe optic headache and lost the ability to move her head, which then progressed into paralysis of both arms. Her symptoms were not solely physical as she would vacillate between a normal, mental state and a manic-type state in which she would become extremely agitated. There was even a notation of a time for which she hallucinated that the ribbons in her hair were snakes.
Toward the end of her father’s life she stopped speaking her native language of German and instead only spoke in English. A little over a year after she began taking care of her father he passed away. After his passing her symptoms grew to affect her vision, a loss of ability to focus her attention, more extreme hallucinations, and a number of suicidal attempts (Hurst, 1982).
Both Freud and Jung would acknowledge that unconscious processes are at work in this woman's problems. However, they would come to different conclusions about the origin of these problems and the method by which she should be treated.
Research Freud’s and Jung’s theories of personality using your textbook, the Internet, and the Argosy University online library resources. Based on your research, respond to the following:
•Compare and contrast Freud's view of the unconscious with Jung's view and apply this case example in your explanations.
•On what specific points would they agree and disagree regarding the purpose and manifestation of the unconscious in the case of Anna?
•How might they each approach the treatment of Anna? What might be those specific interventions? How might Anna experience these interventions considering her history?

Assignment 2 American ConstitutionFollowing the Revolutionary War.docxBenitoSumpter862
Assignment 2: American Constitution
Following the Revolutionary War and separation from England, the need for a new government was clear. A group of men, who became known as the “nation’s founders” or Founding Fathers, developed a new government based on principles and beliefs they knew through their experiences, readings, and study. The Founding Fathers had a great deal in common with each other, including property interests, education, and extensive political experience. These common experiences and birthrights created a strong consensus about what should be incorporated into the government that would replace England’s.
Troubles developed immediately upon establishment of the United States of America with the 1781 Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union. Economic difficulties and means of dividing power between leaders and competing interests caused conflict. The conflicts had to be resolved, and some of the Founding Fathers and others, who would come to be known as the Framers went to Philadelphia to revise the Articles of Confederation. However, it became apparent immediately that the Articles could not be revised, and therefore, they were abandoned, and the Framers set about to create a new form of government. Though the effort was eventually successful and resulted in the Constitution, there was a great deal of conflict during its development in the summer of 1787. The form of government established incorporated the ideas of diverse groups, as well as the Framers’ recognition of the need for compromise.
Research the history of the American Constitution using the Argosy University online library resources. Respond to

Assignment 2 A Crime in CentervaleWhile patrolling during his shi.docxBenitoSumpter862
Assignment 2: A Crime in Centervale
While patrolling during his shift, a Centervale police officer, Detective Johnson, saw two men standing on a street corner. Johnson observed the two proceed alternately back and forth between the street ahead and the corner, pausing and returning to conference. Detective Johnson found this strange as the Love's Jeweler shop was down the street. The two men repeated this ritual alternately three to four times, which appeared as if they were looking out for someone or were about to steal something. Detective Johnson saw a third man approach and handing something to one of the two men, which he stuffed into his pocket.
Detective Johnson approached the three men and identified himself as a policeman. He saw the man that stuffed the item in his pocket place his hand in his pocket again. Detective Johnson kept his eyes on the man and asked their names. Before they could answer, the detective turned the man around, patted down his outside clothing, and felt a hard object. The man objected saying, "Hey man, you can't do that. I have rights. I want my lawyer." Detective Johnson sneered, "Oh! you'll get your lawyer." Upon feeling the object, the officer removed his gun and asked the three to raise their hands and place them on the wall. The officer patted each man down and found a gun in the pocket of one man. He removed the jacket of another man and found a diamond ring in the inside pocket. The third man did not have anything in his pockets.
The three were taken to the police station and charged with grand theft and burglary. One of the men was also charged for carrying a concealed weapon. Detective Johnson ran the information concerning the gun and found that it matched the gun related to an aggravated battery and rape case from a year ago. The detective questioned Danny, the man who had the gun. At first, Danny did not want to say anything, but the detective continued questioning him. After three hours, Danny confessed to the aggravated battery and rape case. He denied being involved in the grand theft and burglary.
Danny had a first appearance in the court within three days, whereupon he is appointed an attorney but denied bail. Danny does not see his attorney until the next court appearance. The attorney asks what he wants to do and Danny said, "I want to fight it man." The attorney tells Danny, "That's not going to work; the DA is offering you a good deal if you plea." Over the objection of the victim in the court, the DA offers Danny probation if he testifies against the other two in the burglary case. The DA wants the other two to be sentenced to ten years in that case. While shaking his head, Danny pleads guilty above the cries of the victim. The DA asks the judge to hold off on sentencing until after he testifies in the other trial.
After Danny testifies against the other two defendants and they are sentenced to ten years, Danny goes back to the court. The judge, not agreeing with the deal, decides to sent.

The document discusses how much sleep people need. It notes that while most people think they need more sleep than they actually do, studies show there is no consensus on the precise amount of sleep required. Experiments depriving subjects of sleep for short periods found little impact on performance, and people can stay awake for days in emergencies, then recover with only 12 hours of sleep. However, the ability to bypass sleep in emergencies can be dangerous if it leads people to believe they can function without sleep when they really cannot.

Abstract
Sleep disorders have several impacts on overall health. With the increase in sleep disorders over the last few years, there is a need to identify some of the most common causes of sleep disorders and if factors such as age, gender, ethnicity and social status may be considered as risk factors. Different studies have been done to determine the impacts of sleep disorders on an individual’s overall health. The central focus of this research is to review some of these studies, and come up with a conclusion that tends to bring out these health impacts that are associated with sleep disorders, particularly, sleep deprivation.
Introduction
Sleep is considered as a biological process and it has regularly been essential for good life and optimal health (Wells & Vaughn, 2012). Sleep has been essential in controlling brain functioning, and even in other biological and systematic processes such as metabolism, regulation of appetite, and improving one’s immunity against a number of diseases, especially in children. Normally, a good sleep is associated by the duration of the sleep, the quality, and regularity among other factors. Although a number of studies, and even media, have covered the health benefits of sleep, more than 70 million individuals in the US are still suffering from sleep-related disorders, and moreover, in Europe, approximately 45 million people are also victims of these disorders. For instance, a study conferred that of all the car accidents that occur in the US, 20% are as a result of lack of enough sleep, or other disorders associated wit either too much sleep or lack of enough sleep (Palma et al., 2013).
There are a number of consequences that may arise as a result of sleep loss and other sleep-related disorders. As conveyed by Ming et al. (2011), the most common consequences that may be related to sleep include judgment errors, which may lead to disastrous events. On the other pedestal, some of the less visible consequences of sleep disorder include increased mortality and morbidity rate, car accidents and injuries, QoL, the well-being of the family, and utilization of healthcare services among the affected persons. Some of these consequences may arise a few minutes after having less hours of sleep, or too much sleep. However, there are some long-term impacts of sleep, for instance, obesity and hypertension. Sleeping for a longer duration enhances the body’s inactivity and this is greatly associated with obesity, which may also give chance to the development of hypertension and other cardiovascular complications. According to Ming et al. (2011), there are approximately 90-100 sleep disorders which may result from factors such as environmental factors, psychosocial issues, and ot ...
Sleep plays an important role in learning and memory formation by promoting the growth of dendritic spines which connect neurons. A study found that mice who learned a balancing task and then slept showed greater dendritic growth than mice who stayed awake, suggesting sleep helps the brain form connections to support long-term memory. Getting enough quality sleep can enhance learning, manage stress levels, support weight control, and improve decision making abilities.
The document discusses why organisms need sleep. The NIH recommends 7-8 hours of sleep per night for adults, but many people report getting less. Fatal familial insomnia is a rare genetic disorder where people are completely unable to sleep, leading to rapid cognitive decline and death within 1-3 years, showing sleep is necessary for survival. Experiments depriving rats of sleep found they all died within 2-4 weeks, though autopsies found no clear cause of death. Several theories for why we sleep are discussed, with the most viable being that sleep has a restorative function, allowing the brain to clear out metabolic waste that builds up during waking hours.

Re:Module 6 DQ 2
What is the most significant effect of injuries to or abnormalities in the hypothalamus on behavior? Why is this effect the most significant?
The hypothalamus is involved in different functions; regulating homeostasis, motivation and emotional behavior by controlling autonomic and endocrine activity (Chen, Lin & Chang, 2013). Thus, it is a vital gland that communicates information from the thalamus to the pituitary gland allowing the release of pituitary hormones in response to changes in the autonomic nervous system. Any damage to the hypothalamus can affect the production or secretion of several hormones; Waterhouse (2012) discusses, growth, luteinsing, follicle stimulating, prolactin, cortisol, adrenocorticotropic, thyroid stimulating, testosterone and oestradiol hormones as being significant and leading to serious effects, both physical and psychological. The dysfunction in hormone levels affect a person’s quality of life by disrupting physical processes and behavior. According to Waterhouse (2012) hormonal imbalance can lead to having a negative impact affecting growth, the immune system, metabolism, puberty, sexual maturation, and the body’s reaction to stress; in addition to altering behaviors causing depression and possibly leading to suicidal behavior (Hongwei et al., 2013).

Putting aside opinions you may have regarding humane issues, consider that sleep deprivation has been used as a means of torture for many years. What are its primary effects, and why would these effects be considered useful in interrogation?
According to Lo, et al. (2012), during total sleep deprivation, cognitive performance declines and executive functions are severely disrupted (p. 1-2). The authors also mention that sustained attention, which is exceedingly important to higher levels of cognition, is very much affected by sleep deprivation (p. 10). I am of the opinion that any college student would be able to testify to the side-effects of sleep deprivation, even though not brought on by torturous methods.
Bulkeley (2014) mentions several side effects of sleep deprivation, including irritability, inability to concentrate, and fatigue. As the time of deprivation continues, reading and speaking will deteriorate along with a drop in body temperature, an increase in appetite, and poor judgment. If the ...
1) Aerobic exercise improves subjective sleep quality through multiple mechanisms such as improved mood, light exposure during exercise, and changes in hormone secretion.
2) Studies show that aerobic exercise programs over 12-16 weeks significantly improve subjective sleep quality scores according to questionnaires. However, factors like mood and light exposure during exercise also influence sleep quality.
3) Both subjective and objective sleep measures like polysomnography show improvements with regular aerobic exercise, though more research is still needed to fully understand the direct impacts of exercise on sleep. Overall, aerobic exercise promotes better sleep quality and total health.
Dissertation Night work - Altered sleep - wake Cycles and the Circadian Body ...Sook Yen Wong
This document discusses the biological effects of night work on the human circadian rhythm and sleep-wake cycle. It begins by outlining the need for night work in modern society and the short and long term problems it can cause, including disrupted sleep, poorer health, and increased accident risk. It then describes the circadian body clock located in the brain's hypothalamus, which regulates daily biological rhythms through clock genes like Period and influences sleep, temperature, and hormone levels. Night work conflicts with the body clock's natural preference for daytime activity and nighttime sleep. Adjusting to night shifts can be difficult and is associated with negative health, social, and safety impacts.
This document discusses individual differences and their assessment in psychology. It begins with a brief history of the field starting in 1876 with Wundt, who sought to uncover general principles of human behavior. One of his students, James McKeen Cattell, began measuring differences between people using psychological variables, laying the foundation for differential psychology. The document then outlines the basic assumptions made by industrial-organizational psychologists regarding individual differences and their relation to job success. It proceeds to discuss key human attributes assessed, including intelligence, physical and sensory abilities, psychomotor skills, personality, and models like the Big Five personality factors.

Chapter 5: Body Rhythms and Mental States
Do you ever find yourself daydreaming? Have you caught yourself drifting in and
out of a conversation only to realize that you were in a hypnogogic state?
Research purports that consciousness ebbs and flows instead of remaining in a
constant, discrete state, as has been argued.
Wade & Tavris (2011) explain that our conscious thoughts in one state can
directly filter over into another area of consciousness. Cartwright (1974) posited
that our conscious thoughts can have a direct correlation to our dreams. She
argued that if one spent a great deal of the day contemplating a particular
thought, in all likelihood that same thought, or a slight variation, would manifest
in the individual’s dreams that night (Cartwright, 1974). What do you think? Has
this ever happened to you? As you read this chapter, you will gain better insight
into our conscious thoughts and behaviors, as well as our sleeping patterns. Are
these areas somehow intertwined? Are there linkages that actually exist that can
explain why we have certain dreams? What is the true function of our dreams?
As you continue throughout your readings, begin to examine your own sleeping
patterns. Do you ever find yourself feeling drowsy for seemingly no reason at
all? Many argue that our industrialized society might be the culprit behind our
sleep deprivation. One’s biological clock sometimes gets out of sync due to
exposure to bright lights. Research has studied the effects of too much exposure
to bright lights on one’s internal clock. Experiments have even been conducted
that capitalize on this theory to treat seasonal affective disorder. As you go
throughout your day, begin to notice when you feel sleepiness creeping upon
you. Do you have an established bedtime ritual? What happens if you do not get
to bed at your “normal” hour? How is the next day altered if you did not get an
adequate amount of rest? This chapter will expose the reader to many elements
related to body rhythms, and the importance of dreams.
Further examination of this chapter will prompt one to examine the controversy
related to hypnosis. Many argue that some individual ...

Analyzing the effects of slow wave sleep on memory

The tittle of the study is “Sleep, Memory, and Aging: The Link between Slow-Wave Sleep and Episodic Memory Changes from Younger to Older Adults” written by Michael K. Scullin. It aims to uncover the relationship between slow wave sleep and the ability of humans to retain memory. Slow wave sleep is the deep sleep that occurs during non-rapid eye movement. It is called slow wave sleep because at this stage of slumber, the brain electrical activity is synchronized with slow waves of low frequency. Previous research has proven that slow wave sleep is crucial to the retaining of memory but until now, the dynamics of this relationship was not clear(Scullin, 2013).
In conducting the research, the researcher is trying to determine the correlation between slow wave sleep, memory retention, and aging. The author of the research aims to link together these three seemingly distinct variables and create a conceptual theory that explains how aging memory and deep sleep are related. The researcher asks a series of questions that help to guide the research process. These questions are, is there a correlation between short weave sleep in humans and memory consolidation? If so how significant is this relationship, is short wave sleep crucial to the memory consolidation process? The researchers then measure the amount of short wave sleep that young and old adults get. They compare this information with the increasing reduction in the ability to retain memory, as adults grow older and attempt to make a connection to the lesser amounts of short wave sleep that older adults get(Scullin, 2013).
Qualitative research is exploratory research conducted to gain an understanding of the underlying reasons of a problem. Qualitative research aims to provide a detailed description of the research process. Qualitative research is usually conducted a precursor to quantitative research.
Quantitative data aims to quantify the problem by generating numerical data. This data is then converted to useful statistics. Quantitative research is used to quantify behaviors, opinions, attitudes among numerous other variables. The mandate of quantitative research is to provide a clearer picture using statistical methods. A quantitative researcher uses tool such as surveys, questionnaires, and measurements.
The research conducted by Michael K. Scullin is quantitative in nature. In his research, he aims to uncover the relationship between slow wave sleep and memory by measuring sleep patterns and memory retention abilities of adults. Among the measurement taken are, time spent sleeping, age and ability to recall memory. In order to test the ability to recall memory the participants were given word pair combination to memorize before sleep. They were quizzed on th.

Assignment 2: Case of Anna O
One of the very first cases that caught Freud’s attention when he was starting to develop his psychoanalytic theory was that of Anna O, a patient of fellow psychiatrist Josef Breuer. Although Freud did not directly treat her, he did thoroughly analyze her case as he was fascinated by the fact that her hysteria was “cured” by Breuer. It is her case that he believes was the beginning of the psychoanalytic approach.
Through your analysis of this case, you will not only look deeper into Freud’s psychoanalytic theory but also see how Jung’s neo-psychoanalytic theory compares and contrasts with Freud’s theory.

The Case of Anna O.
One of the first cases that inspired Freud in the development of what would eventually become the Psychoanalytic Theory was the case of Anna O. Anna O. was actually a patient of one of Freud’s colleagues Josef Breuer. Using Breuer’s case notes, Freud was able to analyze the key facts of Anna O’s case.
Anna O. first developed her symptoms while she was taking care of her very ill father with whom she was extremely close. Some of her initial symptoms were loss of appetite to the extent of not eating, weakness, anemia, and development a severe nervous cough. Eventually she developed a severe optic headache and lost the ability to move her head, which then progressed into paralysis of both arms. Her symptoms were not solely physical as she would vacillate between a normal, mental state and a manic-type state in which she would become extremely agitated. There was even a notation of a time for which she hallucinated that the ribbons in her hair were snakes.
Toward the end of her father’s life she stopped speaking her native language of German and instead only spoke in English. A little over a year after she began taking care of her father he passed away. After his passing her symptoms grew to affect her vision, a loss of ability to focus her attention, more extreme hallucinations, and a number of suicidal attempts (Hurst, 1982).
Both Freud and Jung would acknowledge that unconscious processes are at work in this woman's problems. However, they would come to different conclusions about the origin of these problems and the method by which she should be treated.
Research Freud’s and Jung’s theories of personality using your textbook, the Internet, and the Argosy University online library resources. Based on your research, respond to the following:
•Compare and contrast Freud's view of the unconscious with Jung's view and apply this case example in your explanations.
•On what specific points would they agree and disagree regarding the purpose and manifestation of the unconscious in the case of Anna?
•How might they each approach the treatment of Anna? What might be those specific interventions? How might Anna experience these interventions considering her history?

Assignment 2 American ConstitutionFollowing the Revolutionary War.docxBenitoSumpter862
Assignment 2: American Constitution
Following the Revolutionary War and separation from England, the need for a new government was clear. A group of men, who became known as the “nation’s founders” or Founding Fathers, developed a new government based on principles and beliefs they knew through their experiences, readings, and study. The Founding Fathers had a great deal in common with each other, including property interests, education, and extensive political experience. These common experiences and birthrights created a strong consensus about what should be incorporated into the government that would replace England’s.
Troubles developed immediately upon establishment of the United States of America with the 1781 Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union. Economic difficulties and means of dividing power between leaders and competing interests caused conflict. The conflicts had to be resolved, and some of the Founding Fathers and others, who would come to be known as the Framers went to Philadelphia to revise the Articles of Confederation. However, it became apparent immediately that the Articles could not be revised, and therefore, they were abandoned, and the Framers set about to create a new form of government. Though the effort was eventually successful and resulted in the Constitution, there was a great deal of conflict during its development in the summer of 1787. The form of government established incorporated the ideas of diverse groups, as well as the Framers’ recognition of the need for compromise.
Research the history of the American Constitution using the Argosy University online library resources. Respond to
one
question from each of the question sets A and B.
A. Creating the Constitution
Consider the three constitutional proposals: the Virginia Plan, the New Jersey Plan, and the Great Compromise, also known as the Connecticut Compromise. If you were a delegate and without the experience of the past 200 years, which constitutional proposal would you have supported? Why?
Why do you think the framers were silent on the issue of slavery in the wording of the Constitution? What were the strengths and weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation?
What were the issues in the Constitutional Convention? Who were the Federalists and Anti-Federalists?
B. Living with the Constitution
What are the formal and informal methods of constitutional change?
How do checks and balances work in the lawmaking process today? Which current and important events do you think are examples of the success of checks and balances?
Do you think the Constitution is a relevant political document for the twenty-first century? What new amendments might be appropriate today?

Assignment 2 A Crime in CentervaleWhile patrolling during his shi.docxBenitoSumpter862
Assignment 2: A Crime in Centervale
While patrolling during his shift, a Centervale police officer, Detective Johnson, saw two men standing on a street corner. Johnson observed the two proceed alternately back and forth between the street ahead and the corner, pausing and returning to conference. Detective Johnson found this strange as the Love's Jeweler shop was down the street. The two men repeated this ritual alternately three to four times, which appeared as if they were looking out for someone or were about to steal something. Detective Johnson saw a third man approach and handing something to one of the two men, which he stuffed into his pocket.
Detective Johnson approached the three men and identified himself as a policeman. He saw the man that stuffed the item in his pocket place his hand in his pocket again. Detective Johnson kept his eyes on the man and asked their names. Before they could answer, the detective turned the man around, patted down his outside clothing, and felt a hard object. The man objected saying, "Hey man, you can't do that. I have rights. I want my lawyer." Detective Johnson sneered, "Oh! you'll get your lawyer." Upon feeling the object, the officer removed his gun and asked the three to raise their hands and place them on the wall. The officer patted each man down and found a gun in the pocket of one man. He removed the jacket of another man and found a diamond ring in the inside pocket. The third man did not have anything in his pockets.
The three were taken to the police station and charged with grand theft and burglary. One of the men was also charged for carrying a concealed weapon. Detective Johnson ran the information concerning the gun and found that it matched the gun related to an aggravated battery and rape case from a year ago. The detective questioned Danny, the man who had the gun. At first, Danny did not want to say anything, but the detective continued questioning him. After three hours, Danny confessed to the aggravated battery and rape case. He denied being involved in the grand theft and burglary.
Danny had a first appearance in the court within three days, whereupon he is appointed an attorney but denied bail. Danny does not see his attorney until the next court appearance. The attorney asks what he wants to do and Danny said, "I want to fight it man." The attorney tells Danny, "That's not going to work; the DA is offering you a good deal if you plea." Over the objection of the victim in the court, the DA offers Danny probation if he testifies against the other two in the burglary case. The DA wants the other two to be sentenced to ten years in that case. While shaking his head, Danny pleads guilty above the cries of the victim. The DA asks the judge to hold off on sentencing until after he testifies in the other trial.
After Danny testifies against the other two defendants and they are sentenced to ten years, Danny goes back to the court. The judge, not agreeing with the deal, decides to sent.

assignment 1The idea of living in a country where all policy sh.docxBenitoSumpter862
assignment 1
The idea of living in a country where “all policy shall be based on the weight of evidence” seems unreal for me. However this idea does not seems so crazy for Neil deGrasse Tyson, who believes this idea could work in a country. But could it really work?
The ‘Rationalia’ proposal is about that every idea need to be based on something. It means everything has to follow a process which is gathering data, observation, experimenting and having a conclusion. For a policy to get approved it needs to have the weight of evidence to support it, if it does not have it, then it will not get approve. I found it very interesting how white supremacy supported African slavery and how there was an effort to restricted the reproduction of other races. I feel like this would turn into a chaotic country because there are so many things that science cannot explain, scientist have theories only. Like most of the ancient civilization that had big constructions, ex: The Incas in Peru, there is no explanation for how the Machu Picchu ruins were constructed, or like the Pyramids in Egypt. As the scientist keep researching, new theories originate and no conclusion is made.
I do not think religion has all the answers also. Why were women not able to touch their husbands or feed their animals while menstruating? Why a women would be considered contaminated or not pure base on something as normal as menstruation. Or the idea of it is okay for men to have multiple wives but it was not okay for women to get married twice? I do believe that there is a God, but the idea of the men been superior in both science and religion makes me feel frustrated as a woman. It would be very difficult for a country to be ruled by science or by God only. I feel that there should always be a balance between science and religion, even though both want to compete with each other and have the ultimate opinion. There are somethings that I disagree with both of them. There is no need to keep fighting against each other, even the pope supported the scientific view of evolution, and as the article “Nonoverlapping Magisteria” by Stephen Jay Gould said “The Catholic Church had never opposed evolution and had no reason to do so”. For some people like me, science and religion go together.
assigment 2
In the first reading “Reflections on Rationalia” by Neil deGrasse Tyson, Tyson discusses an idea of developing a virtual world in which all its policies have to be founded based on evidence, meaning that the state would be undergoing constant research, forming a foundation for its government and how its citizens should think. Within the proposal for the new state, Tyson says that a great amount of funding will be given to the continued study of the human sciences, along with extensive training for the young to learn how to obtain, analyze and gather conclusions on data, and citizens would have the freedom to be irrational, simply no policies will be made with.

CASE 1.3 THE INFLUENCE DIAGRAM AND DECISION TREE—STRUCTURING PROBLEMS OF ENERGY POLICY AND INTERNATIONAL SECURIY
Along with other policy-analytic methods discussed earlier in this chapter (Figure 1.1), the influence diagram and decision tree are useful tools for structuring policy problems.52 The influence diagram (Figure C1.3) displays the policy, the National Maximum Speed Limit, as a rectangle. A rectangle always refers to a policy choice or decision node, which in this case is the choice between adopting and not adopting the national maximum speed limit of 55 mph. To the right and above the decision node are uncertain events, represented as ovals, which are connected to the decision node with arrows showing how the speed limit affects or is affected by them. The rectangles with shaved corners represent valued policy outcomes or objectives. The objectives are to lower fuel consumption, reduce travel time, reduce injuries, and avert traffic fatalities. To the right of the objectives is another shaved rectangle, which designates the net benefits (benefits less costs) of the four objectives. The surprising result of using the influence diagram for problem structuring is the discovery of causally relevant economic events, such as the recession and unemployment, .

There are many legal safeguards in place to ensure that police officers interfere with citizens' Fourth Amendment rights under limited circumstances. In Centervale, there have been several citizen complaints about Fourth Amendment violations by the local police department. The Centervale chief of police, Charles Draper, has determined that the behavior of some police officers reveals a lack of consistent understanding of the criminal justice concepts dealing with the Fourth Amendment prohibition against unreasonable searches and unreasonable seizures.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

ABSTRACT
While sleep is one of the most important factors of
physical, psychological, and mental health, its contributions are
still widely taken for granted. Sleep has the potential of
significantly improving or drastically diminishing one’s
productivity. As such, it is necessary for sleep to be studied
more deeply to understand how it affects employees. This study
seeks to bring out the connection between the number of hours
worked and the total number of hours slept per night, while
putting into consideration variables such as full-time or part-
time employment, and gender. According to the first hypothesis,
individuals working less hours sleep longer than those working
longer hours. As such, the variables of interest here are job
hours and hours of sleep per night. Further, the second
2. hypothesis connects gender (independent variable) with the
aforementioned dependent variable. If there is a substantial
correlation between the two, the Pearson Correlation should be
applicable. Using Factorial ANOVA, I would change the second
independent variable to the current position of the employee to
make a lead to null hypothesis acceptance.
A literature review will be conducted highlighting existing
literature in the contributions of sleep to productivity, and the
severity of the consequences of failing to get enough sleep.
Further, the differences in sleeping habits between men and
women will also be highlighted, in addition to how longer
working hours can result in fewer hours of sleep and diminish
productivity. A 9-part questionnaire will also be distributed
among students to select a target group of 30 individuals, 15 of
each gender, to provide the primary source from which
correlation between the dependent and independent variables
will be derived using the correlation coefficient. The filled
questionnaires will be compiled and grouped in terms of gender
to allow for a pattern to be established either in agreement with
or contrary to the proposed hypotheses.
Key words: sleep, productivity, longer working hours, fewer
hours of sleep
Introduction
Studies of the brain have been around for centuries now,
but the progress on our knowledge regarding its inner workings
advances at a very slow pace. However, one of the main
achievements in neurology – the study of the brain – is the
determination of the role of sleep in improving mental acuity
and alertness in tackling day-to-day tasks. It is unfortunate that
despite the importance of sleep in keeping things in our bodies
running smoothly, it is one of the most neglected aspects of
leading healthy lives. This study intends to establish a
connection between the number of hours worked per day and the
number of hours slept at night. Shedding light on this area
might help the corporate world to put more stake in ensuring
employees get enough sleep on a regular basis to improve their
3. productivity.
As such, this study aims to answer the following questions:
Is there a connection between the total hours you work and the
number of hours you sleep? Do variables such as gender and job
hours (part-time or full-time) affect the amount of sleep you
get? The working hypotheses upon which this study is based
are: Individuals who work less hours get more sleep than those
who work more hours. Those of a male gender who work 20
hours or less get more sleep than females who work the same
number of hours.
Literature Review
To accurately draw conclusions from the study, it is necessary
to first bring out existing literature on each variable. According
to the first hypothesis, individuals working less hours sleep
longer than those working longer hours. As such, the variables
of interest here are job hours (independent variable) and hours
of sleep per night (dependent variable). Further, the second
hypothesis connects gender (independent variable) with the
aforementioned dependent variable.
Variable 1: Job Hours (Independent variable)
During working hours, the mind is active as is required for
the achievement of tasks and objectives. However, for one to
fall and stay asleep, it is necessary to be in a rel axed
environment to allow the mind to ‘cool down’ in a matter of
speaking, and eventually drift off. Therefore, working long
hours as is the case in full-time employment implies that the
mind is active for a longer time, which necessitates a longer
time to ‘cool down’ and fall asleep. According to Dahlgren et
al. (2006), longer hours also imply that there is not enough time
for recuperation and relaxation, which accumulates stress,
making it difficult to fall asleep.
Further, Burgard and Ailshire (2009) explore the concept
of workplace experiences ‘following employees home’, which
can thus affect their quality of sleep. Their article builds on the
premise that the workplace exposes workers to stresses that are
4. otherwise not available at home, which in turn causes them poor
quality of sleep. Building on this logically, longer exposure to
such stresses in the case of full-time employment causes
workers to take these stresses home, minimizing time needed to
relax, a claim substantiated by Dahlgren et al. (2006) article.
Therefore, drawing from these two articles, part-time
employment gives workers more time to engage in leisurely
activities such as going to the gym or taking yoga classes which
reframe the mind and prepare it for the following day’s tasks.
This is the kind of recuperation that Dahlgren et al. (2006) talks
about.
Variable 2: Gender
Much like most other biological aspects, sleep is affected
by gender differences, beginning from the most basic concept of
circadian rhythms – mental, physical and behavioral changes
concurrent with daily cycles often in response to light and
darkness. As such, men have longer circadian rhythms as
compared to women, which is noticed in the fact that women are
often more active in the morning, while men are more active at
night (Santhi et al., 2016). Further, men spend less time in deep
sleep as compared to women, a statistic which varies depending
on age. Also, women get up to 11 minutes more sleep than men,
but are more likely to experience sleep problems such as
insomnia. This might be due to hormonal changes associated
with the female reproductive cycle such as menstruation,
pregnancy and menopause (Stallings, 2021).
Therefore, by most objective merits, women sleep longer
and better than men, assuming sleeping problems and
disturbances are at a minimum or entirely absent. However,
this goes against the second hypothesis which states that men
working 20 hours or less per week get more sleep than women
working the same hours, which implies that the aspect of daily
activities has a stronger correlation than that of gender in terms
of hours slept every night. By analyzing these three variables, a
reason for this discordance can be derived and understood.
Variable 3: Hours Slept
5. As the dependent variable, the concept of hours slept is
affected both by gender and by hours worked per day. This
aspect is heavily researched on, with articles such as one by
Philibert (2005) which explores the relationship between sleep
loss and the performance of non-physicians and residents in a
hospital. Philibert (2005) expresses the importance of cognitive
skills in ensuring high quality patient care, bringing out how
sleep loss and sleep deprivation can cause life-threatening
errors not only to patients but also to fellow workers. According
to WELCOA (2018), failure to get adequate sleep affects one’s
mood, which in turn impairs concentration and focus, thus
drastically reducing productivity. Further, failure to get enough
sleep resulted in more than 40% of adults falling asleep during
work or even while driving.
The effects of reduced productivity are not only felt in the
workplace, but also in the economy. According to the RAND
Corporation, more than $400 billion is lost annually in the US
economy due to poor sleep. Additionally, poor sleep causes a
vicious cycle in which an employee fails to get enough sleep,
gets overwhelmed by work the next day, which increases their
anxiety and stress, thus affecting their ability to fall asleep at
night. Therefore, according to existing literature, it is necessary
to adopt positive sleeping practices and behaviors not only for
employees’ benefits, but also for the good of the economy at
large.
How this Study Fits into Existing Literature
This study seeks to establish a connection between and
among the three aforementioned variables. Previous study only
correlate two of these variables. For example, the articles by
Dahlgren et al. (2006) showcases the relationship between
working long hours and sleep and stress levels, which are two
of the desired variables for this study. Moreover, Burgard and
Ailshire (2009) express how employees facing stresses at work
end up carrying them home, which implies that such stresses are
always with them even when they are supposed to be unwinding
and relaxing. Due to this, they end up sleeping poorly. This
6. article also highlights similar variables to those by Dahlgren et
al. (2006).
Nevertheless, the differences in sleep in men and women
have been discussed by Santhi et al. (2016) and Stallings (2021)
which provide a baseline regarding how gender defines sleeping
habits and patterns. The effect of poor sleep on productivity in
the workplace has also been explored separately. As such, each
of the sections above in this literature review only describe how
the variables are related with each other, but not how the
independent variables work in tandem to determine the nature of
the dependent variable. This study thus fits into existing
research by filling this gap, and by adding to existing
knowledge regarding sleep and relaxation.
Method
Participants
My participants will include 30+ (15 male and 15 female
selected at random) students who are currently enrolled at
Louisiana State University Alexandria and at the local college
in my area Georgia State University ages 18 and up. The equal
number of male and female participants is intended for
highlighting the correlation between sleep, hours worked, and
gender. I intend on recruiting them using both of the campuses
Facebook group pages and some student email listings.
Partakers will have the option to freely take part in a survey
that will assist with a psychological research study.
There will be no age maximum on this study, nor will race
and/or gender be a deciding factor in picking the participants
although they will be asked about the latter at the end of the
survey process for the results. While I assume that individuals
who work full or part-time hours may be more beneficial to this
study, anyone one who is employed and a college student over
the age of 18 are encouraged to participate. However, the
inclusion of individuals from different ages might cause
problems correlating the data because each variable is affected
differently according to age. Therefore, further research is
required to accurately examine the variables across different
7. age groups for better results.
Materials
The survey consists of 9 multiple-choice questions that
should take no more than 3 minutes to complete. The survey
was created by Fernandez (2021) and utilizes questions relating
to demographics and sleep habits. Also available upon start of
the survey, questions 1-3 will be the Informed consent, that
contains the researcher’s contact information, guarantee that
there are nor will be any penalties for not completing and/or
participating in the survey, and ensure all information retained
from survey will stay anonymous and will not be used for any
other purposes outside of this study. Following consent, the
second portion of questions (3-6) refer to participant’s
employment status, job classification (part-time or full-time)
and average hourly amount of sleep on a daily basis. The
remaining questions focus on race, age, and gender. The
assessment has a significant level of legitimacy due to the
questions aiming to find the connection between work and
sleep. Limitations that could affect the reliability and validity
of the study would be if participants choose to answer questions
with no honest and/or honorable intention.
Procedure
The purpose of this study will be discovered using a non-
experimental design and Factorial ANOVA. This study consists
of 2 independent variables (gender and hours worked) and 1
dependent variable (sleep). The survey, which will be posted on
Google Forms, will be distributed via a post on Facebook with
the link attached and can be accessed from their personal
Facebook app. First, participants who attend LSUA will receive
an email Dr. Elder in the psychology department that invites
them to take part in various surveys from students who are
currently enrolled in PSYC 4017 to complete their research. If
the student wishes to participate, a list of survey links will be
populated on the screen and students will have the option to
select from the selection of surveys offers. At the conclusion of
the survey, there will be no additional requirements from
8. participants.
The filled forms will then be examined and analyzed for any
similarities and correlations important to the establishment of a
pattern. Selection of filled forms will be done by collecting the
first 15 forms filled by male students, and the first 15 forms
filled by female students, while checking for their validity. It
might be impossible to divide them according to age since the
targeted demographic is that of college students who are
between ages 22 and 34. Further, the small size of the group
might make it impossible to divide them according to age
groups, which can also be attributed to the fact that doing so
would fall outside the scope of objectives that this project
intends to achieve.
Results
In this study, the first research question is whether or not the
number of hours you sleep is affected by the number of hours
you work. It is to be expected that there will be some
considerable correlations between the two variables, which also
shows a relationship with the hypothesis for this study that
states that employees who work less hours get more sleep than
those employees who work more hours. The second hypothesis
states that female employees will receive less sleep per night
than male employees. If there is a substantial correlation
between the two, the Pearson Correlation should be applicable
since I would like to find the correlation between the number of
hours working and the hours of sleep. I do not feel that I can
make use of Factorial ANOVA since we will only be comparing
the sleep hours between male employees and female employees,
which can be analyzed by an independent-samples t-test.
However, if necessary, using Factorial ANOVA, I would change
the second independent variable to the current position of the
employee, whether or not the employee is freelance, regular,
supervisor, and manager, so it would truly be a factorial design
on its own. Therefore, if the correlation is indeed proved to be
positive, it would lead to the accepting the null hypothesis as
the experimental hypothesis.
9. Based on data collected from the literature review, it is possible
to draw the conclusion that individuals that work less hours
such as part-time employee sleep more than those working full-
time jobs. Therefore, this study accepts the first the hypothesis
which connects these two variables, describing that long
working hours imply less hours of sleep which increase stress
carried forward to the next day and affect sleep even further.
Therefore, companies are encouraged to implement measures
such as maximum working hours to prevent employees from
overworking, which might cause more harm than good.
Further, the articles discussed above also lead to the conclusion
that gender affects the number of hours slept per night. Without
considering the aspect of working, women sleep longer and
better than men. However, the second hypothesis stipulates that
males working less than 20 hours a day sleep better than
females working the same hours. The discord between existing
literature and the findings of this study indicates the presence of
another variable which is unaccounted for. Future studies
should focus on the amount of sleep received by men and
women in working conditions.
Data analysis (statistical)
Fig 1. Employment status of the respondents.
Table 1. Relationship between the percentage of hours worked
in a week and sleep.
10. Discussion
From the results of data analysis, it is found that, most of the
respondents for this research were unemployed individuals. This
is as it is shown in figure 1, indicating the employment
percentage of the respondents. The results indicate that 87% of
the respondents are unemployed, while only 13% are employed.
On the number of hours that the respondents work in a week,
3.4% of the respondents indicated that they work between 0-38
hours. The highest percentage recorded for people who work
between 38 to 40 hours is 41%. Those who work for 40 hours
are only 3.4%, 40-43 hours makes up to 3.4%, 42-50 hours is
6.9%, 50 and more hours are 3.4%, 60 hours in a week is 6.9%,
those who indicated that there is no any hour spent in a week
for work is 3.4%.
From the data collected, it is clear that the majority of the
respondents lie between 27-34 years. 54.7% of the respondents
indicated they ae 27-34 years of age. Followed by those who are
over 35 years of age who makes up 35.5% whereas 22-26 years
make up to 6% and 18-21 years making up only 4%.
The researcher also wanted to know the race of the respondents,
from the data collected and analyzed, 12.9% of the respondents
indicated that they are African Americans and the whites are
6.5%.
11. Respondents were also asked to indicate the number of hours
that they sleep at night. Here, 45.2% of the respondents noted
that they sleep for 1-5 hours at night, while 51.6 of the
respondents noted that they sleep for more than 5 hours. The
remaining 3.2% noted that they sleep for more than six hours
per night. On this, the percentage of women respondents was
71% whereas men were 29%. There was no one who preferred
not to indicate their sex.
Hypothesis
The hypothesis of this study was that women sleep for longer
hours in a night and that sleeping improves the health of an
individual. it was also hypothesized that sleep enables the
minds to remain active during working hours. From the results
analysis, it is realized that it is true that having enough sleep at
night helps to keep the minds active to enhance the achievement
of tasks. the results from the research show that women are able
to work for longer hours as compared to men because they sleep
enough at night as compared to men, therefore, it is true that
sleeping is directly proportional to job performance. The
hypothesis is thus supported by this research.
Relationship of research with the past research
According to Burgard, (2009) sleep deprivation impact work
performance negatively lowering productivity and quality of
work done. This also effects work relationship negatively. When
employees miss out on enough sleep at night, they will find it
more difficult to concentrate on the job, meaning that the end
results will not be as expected from them. learning is also
affected by lack of sleep, when someone fails to have enough
sleep at night, they will have a difficult time learning and
communicating with others. The results of this research are thus
valid as they indicate that the respondents who indicated that
they had more hours of sleep at night were able to work for
longer hours, this means that the productivity of the companies
they work for improved and also the quality of the products will
be high as the workers would concentrate more on the job.
12. Limitation to study
Some of the limitations to this study was that some of the
respondents did not return the questionnaires and thus the
researcher relied on a small number of data received from the
few respondents who retuned the questionnaires. Another
limitation to this study was the study area, the researcher was
only limited to one area hence getting results from a small
sample and generalizing the results. The other limitation was
inadequate funds, if the researcher had enough funds, they could
have covered a larger geographic area, collecting data from a
number of workers on how sleep had affected their work.
Future research
The research is recommending research to be done on sleep
deprivation and work performance. This will help in analyzing
how people who are deprived of sleep will be affected on work
performance and look for solutions to this problem.
Another recommendation for further study is the effect of sleep
deprivation on physical health. Researchers have to find out
how sleep deprivation impact people’s physical health, this will
help in determining the ways by which people ensure to have
enough sleep so that they can have good physical health as this
is what is needed for work.
