SUMMARY:

Sleep is a behavioral and physiological process considered fundamental to human
survival. It is known that sleep impairment is an established risk factor for the
development of cardiovascular diseases. The reported magnitude of associations
between sleep characteristics and cardiovascular diseases (CVD) is inconsistent;
however, it is known that insomnia and apnea, for example, are associated with
an increased risk of future cardiovascular events, which justifies the relationship
between sleep disorders and cardiovascular dysfunctions. In healthy individuals,
a reduction in cardiovascular output and a shift to dominant
parasympathetic/vagal activity are observed during nocturnal sleep. However,
little is known about the autonomic profile during daytime sleep and its
relationship with cardiovascular risk. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the
cardiovascular impact during daytime naps among students and employees of the
Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN). The project will be carried
out at the Sleep and Psychophysiology Laboratory, part of the Neurobiology and
Biological Rhythmicity Laboratory, in the Department of Physiology and
Behavior of UFRN. The data collection instrument will consist of an assessment,
application of seven online forms, clinical examinations, and daytime
polysomnography to collect information on the cardiovascular autonomic profile
in the different stages of wakefulness-sleep. The windows will be identified and
calculated for the sleep stages N1, N2, N3, and REM. Preliminary results showed
that factors linked to obesity, such as weight and BMI, were correlated with poor
sleep quality and social jetlag (JLS) in this study. It was possible to see that there
was a prevalence of poor sleep among university students and staff, as well as
high levels of stress, which is also related to the presence of sleep disorders,
impacting the physical, social, and psychological well-being of these individuals.
