1030 History of Concussion In Student Athletes: A Risk Factor for Short Sleep Duration and Insomnia Open
Student athletes are at high risk for insufficient sleep duration and/or poor sleep quality due to time demands and other factors. Previous studies have shown that poor sleep is a common symptom post-concussion. Previous studies have not e…
0978 Does Increased Risk of Suicide at Night Favor One Method of Suicide Over Another? Open
In a prior investigation, it was shown that the incidence of suicide is higher at night than would be expected. This follow-up analysis evaluates whether the time-of-day-patterning of suicide was different depending on the method/weapon us…
0954 Domestic Violence as a Risk Factor for Insomnia and Short Sleep Duration, and the Role of Depressed Mood and Anxiety Symptoms Open

1029 Subjectively Poor Sleep Quality is Associated with Increased Cerebellar Grey Matter Volume Following Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Open
Sleep-related disruptions are a common feature of the symptoms following a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Individuals self-report a range of symptoms, including poor sleep quality and insomnia, persisting well beyond the typical clini…
0057 Changes in Morning Salivary Melatonin Correlate with Prefrontal Responses During Working Memory Performance Open
Humans demonstrate a circadian rhythm of melatonin production that closely tracks the daily light/dark cycle. Profound increases in circulating levels of melatonin are observed during the nighttime but these drop to nearly non-existent lev…
0233 GABA: A Neural Marker of Resilience to Psychomotor Vigilance Impairment during Sleep Deprivation Open
There are substantial inter-individual differences in vulnerability to neurobehavioral impairment due to sleep loss. Previous research demonstrates that genetic markers may predict these inter-individual differences. However, it remains un…
0831 HABITUAL WEEKDAY SLEEP DURATION ASSOCIATED WITH MULTIPLE DIMENSIONS OF SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS Open
Sleep duration is a major public health issue and is related to socioeconomic status (SES). Previous studies were limited in conceptualization of SES to education and/or income. This study evaluated sleep relative to many SES indices. Data…
0769 DEVELOPMENT AND INITIAL VALIDATION OF A BRIEF MEASURE OF CONTROL OVER SLEEP Open
Insufficient and poor quality sleep are important public health concerns. A brief measure of sleep self-efficacy may be helpful in developing successful sleep interventions. The BRief Inventory of Sleep Control (BRISC) was developed as par…

1169 POST-CONCUSSION SEVERITY IS ASSOCIATED WITH SLEEP PROBLEMS AND NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL STATUS Open
Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is often associated with sleep problems. However, little is known about the relationship between sleep problems, post-concussion symptom severity, and common cognitive deficits such as difficulties with v…
1172 EFFECT OF BRIGHT LIGHT THERAPY ON BRAIN AND BEHAVIORAL ABNORMALITIES FOLLOWING A MILD TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY Open
Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) can lead to alterations in sleep, circadian function, and cognition. Evidence suggests that blue wavelength light can alter circadian timing and fatigue in patients with mTBI, but no studies have examined…
