    • Contact-free radar recordings of body movement can reflect ultradian dynamics of sleep 

      Heglum, Hanne Siri Amdahl; Drews, Henning Johannes; Kallestad, Håvard; Vethe, Daniel; Langsrud, Knut; Sand, Trond; Engstrøm, Morten (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      This work aimed to evaluate if a contact-free radar sensor can be used to observe ultradian patterns in sleep physiology, by way of a data processing tool known as Locomotor Inactivity During Sleep (LIDS). LIDS was designed ...
    • Distinguishing sleep from wake with a radar sensor: A contact-free real-time sleep monitor 

      Heglum, Hanne Siri Amdahl; Kallestad, Håvard; Vethe, Daniel; Langsrud, Knut; Sand, Trond; Engstrøm, Morten (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      This work aimed to evaluate whether a radar sensor can distinguish sleep from wakefulness in real time. The sensor detects body movements without direct physical contact with the subject and can be embedded in the roof of ...
    • Evening light environments can be designed to consolidate and increase the duration of REM-sleep 

      Vethe, Daniel; Drews, Henning Johannes; Scott, Janine Linda; Engstrøm, Morten; Heglum, Hanne Siri Amdahl; Grønli, Janne; Wisor, J.P.; Sand, Trond; Lydersen, Stian; Kjørstad, Kaia; Faaland, Patrick; Vestergaard, Cecilie Lund; Langsrud, Knut; Kallestad, Håvard (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Evening exposure to short-wavelength light has disruptive effects on circadian rhythms and sleep. These effects can be mitigated by blocking short-wavelength (blue) frequencies, which has led to the development of evening ...
    • Sleep structure and awakening threshold in delayed sleep-wake phase disorder patients compared to healthy sleepers 

      Solheim, Brandy; Langsrud, Knut; Kallestad, Håvard; Engstrøm, Morten; Bjorvatn, Bjørn; Sand, Trond (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Study Objectives Difficult early morning awakening is a primary symptom of delayed sleep-wake phase disorder (DSWPD), however, it remains poorly investigated. Our main objective was to quantify the awakening threshold in ...
    • Validation of questionnaires for restless legs syndrome in the general population: the Trøndelag Health Study (HUNT) 

      Filosa, James; Omland, Petter Moe; Hagen, Knut; Langsrud, Knut; Brenner, Eiliv; Knutsen, Andreas; Drange, Ole Kristian; Gravdahl, Gøril Bruvik; Stjern, Marit; Engstrøm, Morten; Sand, Trond (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Questionnaires for restless legs syndrome have rarely been validated against face-to-face interviews in the general population. We aimed to validate the modified Norwegian, seven-item Cambridge-Hopkins restless legs syndrome ...
