Relationships Among Nightly Sleep Quality, Daily Stress, and Daily Affect.

Objectives.: We explored the prospective, microlevel relationship between nightly sleep quality (SQ) and the subsequent day's stress on positive (PA) and negative affect (NA) as well as the moderating relationships between nightly SQ, subsequent stress, and subsequent PA on NA. We investigated whether age moderated these relationships.

Cognitive workload and sleep restriction interact to influence sleep homeostatic responses.

Study Objectives: Determine the effects of high versus moderate workload on sleep physiology and neurobehavioral measures, during sleep restriction (SR) and no sleep restriction (NSR) conditions.

Design: Ten-night experiment involving cognitive workload and SR manipulations.

Setting: Controlled laboratory environment.

Effect of tailored activity pacing on self-perceived joint stiffness in adults with knee or hip osteoarthritis.

Objective: We examined the effects of a tailored activity-pacing intervention on self-perceived joint stiffness in adults with osteoarthritis (OA).

Method: Thirty-two adults with hip or knee OA were randomized to a tailored or general activity-pacing intervention. Participants' symptoms and physical activity over 5 days were used to tailor activity pacing.

Loss and hope: strategies for coping with aphasia.
