TL;DR: Using self-report measures, the sleep/wake patterns and several aspects of marital adjustment of 55 couples were established; however, couples who were mismatched on actual sleep/ wake pattern showed lower marital adjustment than the matched couples.

TL;DR: Meijer et al. as discussed by the authors validated the SRSQ by calculating correlations with self-reported and objective sleep and selfreported daytime functioning, and found that the questionnaire discriminates well between clinical and non-clinical cases.

TL;DR: The conclusion that the addition of oral temperature measurements to a sleep/wake log extends its diagnostic and therapeutic applicability is supported, i.e., that insomniacs with a relatively advanced temperature phase had a relatively shorter and more restless sleep, while insomnianacsWith a relatively delayed temperature phase tended to experience a relatively long sleep latency.

TL;DR: Although no predictors were found for daytime total sleep time, the subjective quality of nighttime sleep before the onset of shift work predicted 40% of the variance in the subjectivequality of daytime sleep after commencing shift work.

TL;DR: Assessment of the cortisol awakening response in a group of 25 young novice police officers showed that in the interval between about 4 and 14 months after transitioning from regular day work to rotating shift work, mean values began to rise from baseline to significantly higher levels at about14 months after they commenced shift work.
