    The Mediator Role of Positive and Negative Affect in the Relationship Between Sleep Quality, Depressive Symptoms and Anxiety in Young Adults
    (Galenos Publ House, 2022) Yazihan, Naksidil; Tuna, Ezgi; Fidantek, Hulya
    Objective: It is known that individuals with poor sleep quality show significantly more depression and anxiety symptoms. It is important to investigate possible factors that may make individuals more vulnerable to develop depression and anxiety. For this purpose, the possible mediator roles of positive affect (PA) and negative affect (NA) in the relationship between sleep quality and depression- anxiety symptoms in young adults were tested by using multiple mediation analysis. Materials and Methods: The sample of the study consisted of 387 volunteer participants aged between 18 and 35 years (mean=22.83, standard deviation=3.20). Data consisting of Pittsburgh sleep quality index, positive and negative emotion scale, and brief symptom inventory were collected through an online computer-assisted protocol. Results: Significant positive correlations were found between low sleep quality scores and both depressive and anxiety symptoms. According to the two mediator variable models, low sleep quality influenced depressive symptoms indirectly through PA and NA, and anxiety through only NA. Alternative models of the results showed that depressive symptoms influenced sleep quality partially through PA and NA, while anxiety mediated this relationship only through PA. Conclusion: Alternative models tested to understand the direction of the relationship between depressive-anxiety symptoms and sleep quality. Although the results were significant, the explained variance was found to be less explanatory than the first and second models. The results of the study supported the idea that sleep quality, PA and NA should be targeted while developing prevention and intervention programs for depression and anxiety.

    The Relationship Between Sleep and Declarative Memory
    (Galenos Publ House, 2018) Yazihan, Naksidil Torun; Yetkin, Sinan
    Sleep is a physiologically active process and the function of cognitive processes is known for a long time. It is also known that sleep has a crucial role in two distinct phases of memory. The first one is the information encoding phase which is prior to the learning process; and the second one is the consolidation phase which is related with the persistency of new information after learning occurs. Consolidation is thought as a function of evolutionarily preserved sleep for many forms of memory. The aim of this review is to get together the main study findings which investigating the relationship between the micro and macro structures of sleep and declarative memory processes. Firstly, definition of sleep is given, and then the specific role of sleep in declarative memory consolidation process is explained. In this context, the projected active system consolidation and synaptic homeostasis hypothesis are explicated. The study results investigating the effects of sleep deprivation on declarative memory and information processing phases are summarized. Finally, the role of sleep spindle and slow wave activity on memory processes, which make up the microstructure of sleep, is discussed.
