Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence of sleep deficiency and use of hypnotic drugs in astronauts before, during, and after spaceflight: an observational study
Laura K. Barger,Laura K. Barger,Erin E. Flynn-Evans,Erin E. Flynn-Evans,Alan A. Kubey,Lorcan Walsh,Joseph M. Ronda,Joseph M. Ronda,W Wang,W Wang,Kenneth P. Wright,Charles A. Czeisler,Charles A. Czeisler +12 more
TL;DR: Sleep deficiency in astronauts was prevalent not only during space shuttle and ISS missions, but also throughout a 3 month preflight training interval, and use of sleep-promoting drugs was pervasive during spaceflight.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diurnal spectral sensitivity of the acute alerting effects of light.
Shadab A. Rahman,Erin E. Flynn-Evans,Daniel Aeschbach,George C. Brainard,Charles A. Czeisler,Steven W. Lockley +5 more
TL;DR: The alerting effects of short-wavelength 460-nm light are mediated by counteracting both the circadian drive for sleepiness and homeostatic sleep pressure at night, but only via reducing the effects of homeostatics sleep pressure during the day.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tasimelteon for non-24-hour sleep–wake disorder in totally blind people (SET and RESET): two multicentre, randomised, double-masked, placebo-controlled phase 3 trials
Steven W. Lockley,Steven W. Lockley,Marlene A. Dressman,Louis Licamele,Changfu Xiao,Dennis M Fisher,Erin E. Flynn-Evans,Erin E. Flynn-Evans,Joseph T. Hull,Joseph T. Hull,Rosarelis Torres,Christian Lavedan,Mihael H. Polymeropoulos +12 more
TL;DR: In two consecutive placebo-controlled trials (SET and RESET), safety and efficacy (in terms of circadian entrainment and maintenance) of once-daily tasimelteon, a novel dual-melatonin receptor agonist is assessed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neurobehavioral performance impairment in insomnia: relationships with self-reported sleep and daytime functioning.
Julia A Shekleton,Erin E. Flynn-Evans,Belinda Miller,Lawrence J. Epstein,Douglas B. Kirsch,Lauren A Brogna,Liza M Burke,Erin Bremer,Jade M. Murray,Philip R. Gehrman,Steven W. Lockley,Shantha M W Rajaratnam +11 more
TL;DR: It is found that insomnia patients exhibit deficits in higher level neurobehavioral functioning, but not in basic attention, which indicates that neuro behavioral deficits in insomnia are due to neurobiological alterations, rather than sleepiness resulting from chronic sleep deficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI
Circadian Rhythm Disorders and Melatonin Production in 127 Blind Women with and without Light Perception
Erin E. Flynn-Evans,Erin E. Flynn-Evans,Erin E. Flynn-Evans,Homayoun Tabandeh,Debra J. Skene,Steven W. Lockley,Steven W. Lockley +6 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest that the etiology of blindness in addition to LP status is related to an individual’s ability to process the circadian light signal.
