This study examined relations between infant night waking and both daytime behaviors reflective of poor behavioral and emotional regulation (intrinsic factors) and parent behaviors that may contribute to infant night waking (extrinsic factors) in 41 infants. Mothers completed questionnaires and an infant sleep and crying diary. More time awake at night was related to separation distress, frequent daytime crying, dysregulation, co-sleeping with parents, breast feeding, and being put to bed asleep. More frequent waking was related to separation distress, frequent daytime crying, co-sleeping, and breast feeding. The combination of intrinsic and extrinsic factors predicted night waking better than behaviors from one category alone. Implications for parenting are discussed.

Cardiovascular Research Institute, Yokohama City University Graduate School of Medicine, Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan.
Aims: To investigate the relationship between nocturia and values measured using a novel multifunctional portable urine-measuring device.
Methods: Thirty-five older men with nocturia and/or high-normal or high blood pressure were enrolled to record measurements on one full day (24 h) and two nights using the portable device during urination. Participants used a semi-conical cup with a small hole equipped with a conductivity sensor, temperature sensor, and timer to measure urine volume, salt content, urine temperature, and urination speed.
Improving sleep quality in maternity patients in a Singapore academic hospital: a best practice implementation project.

Nursing Department, National University Hospital, National University Health System, Singapore.
Introduction: Prolonged sleep deprivation and poor sleep quality are common complaints among pregnant and postpartum women, and they have adverse effects on the physiological and psychological well-being of mothers antenatally and postnatally.
Objectives: The aim of this project was to improve antenatal and postnatal mothers' night-time sleep quality during hospitalization in an obstetric ward through multi-faceted interventions.
Methods: This project followed the JBI Model of Evidence-based Healthcare and applied the seven phases of the JBI Evidence Implementation Framework to conduct context analysis, strategy implementation, and review of practice using evidence-based audit criteria.
Sleep-wake patterns of fencing athletes: a long-term wearable device study.

Department of Graduate, Nanjing Sport Institute, Nanjing, Jiangsu, China.
Objective: Sleep is the most efficient means of recovery for athletes, guaranteeing optimal athletic performance. However, many athletes frequently experience sleep problems. Our study aims to describe the sleep-wake patterns of fencing athletes and determine whether factors, such as sex, competitive level and training schedules, could affect the sleep-wake rhythm.

Crying in infancy is an important emotional signal that elicits care from adults, and women are often assumed to be more sensitive and reactive to infant crying than men. In a series of studies, we tested whether preparenthood gender differences in sensitivity to infant cries are a potential driver of the unequal share of early parenting. In Study 1, we tested for differences in men and women's awakening to infant crying and alarms among nonparents in an overnight experiment ( = 142).

Objectives: Insufficient sleep is linked to various health issues, while physical activity is a protective measure against chronic diseases. Despite the importance of sleep and physical activity for supporting public health, there remains scant research investigating daily and cumulative associations between objectively measured physical activity and sleep. Understanding the associations of physical activity and sleep behaviors over multiple days may inform the efficacy of interventions to synergistically support both behaviors.
