Impact Of Sleep Loss On Hippocampus
Impact of Sleep Loss on Hippocampus
Exercise activity versus non-activity with sleep deprivation on memory consolidation.
Null hypothesis: If sleep deprivation and no exercise activity exists in a population’s lifestyle, then there is no significant memory consolidation difference than populations that have adequate sleep, are exercise active.
Alternative hypothesis: There is a significant difference between sleep deprivation and exercise activity versus sleep deprivation and a sedentary lifestyle.
4 groups: time of study- 4-5 years. Or 1 year? Maybe even less for a week. Do not want to allow for students to develop a habit, get used to the study hours. 50 for population group, n total= 200. Each group is consisted of a diverse range of college students with different majors. Each group is equally diverse as well. Using college students provides an equal small age range (would only take applicants that are typical college aged 17-22.
sleep deprived (4 hours or less) and active (45~ minutes of cardiovascular or high intensity exercise)
sleep deprived (4 hours or less) and non-active
sleep efficient (more than 6 hours)and active (45~ minutes of cardiovascular or high intensity exercise)
sleep efficient and non-active
Picking large random groups
-college students
-large diverse group of majors
-pre-screen lifestyle application
-includes average amount of caffeine consumed
-average amount of caffeine consumed has remained constant at approximately 300 milligrams (mg) per person per day. (FDA)
Learning test/exercises: two different styles of learning for two brain learning types.
Declarative:
Flashcard word match card lesson before sleep. 20 cards used each presented each day (random set each day).
Procedural:
2 tapping sequences learned per day. Different sequences each day.
Statistical approach
If 2 groups t-test between each group, for significant difference
4 groups
ANOVA test- Analysis of Variance
2-way, x2 F-Test within groups
-parametric, more
