Introduction: Sleep deprivation is one of those factors that affect the energy intake and appetite of individuals. It is reported that sleep deprivation affected by certain hormones (e. g. insulin, Leptin, ghrelin, and cholecystokinin, etc. ) that are involved in energy balance may affect body weight through appetite. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of 30-hours sleep deprivation on the response of leptin and ghrelin levels to an Exhaustive activity among active male students. Materials and Methods: Among the active male students of Razi University of Kermanshah, 20 undergraduate students were selected through convenience sampling and participated in the study. Subjects were evaluated by simple randomized cross-sectional design in two situations. Results: Information related to the comparison of post-test and pre-test in two experimental (sleep deprivation) and control (adequate sleep) situations showed that leptin hormone in sleep deprivation conditions decreased compared to rest conditions (9. 4 %) And ghrelin hormone in experimental conditions increased compared to control conditions (2. 04%) and this difference is considered significant at the level (p = 0. 0012). Insomnia also caused significant changes in physiological parameters (VO2max, heart rate, blood pressure, time to exhaustion, etc. ). Conclusion: 30 hours of sleep deprivation decreased leptin and at the same time increased ghrelin, which indicates the importance of night sleep, which is one of the influential factors associated with obesity and overweight.

Introduction: Considering the results of various studies on the role of emotional experiences in cardiovascular disease, it seems that emotional regulation can be an important factor in the occurrence or exacerbation of these diseases. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of emotional regulation training on reappraisal and suppression the emotional experiences of cardiovascular patients. Materials and Methods: The present study is a semi-experimental project with pretest and post-test with control group. The statistical population of the study included all cardiovascular patients in Kermanshah in 2018, of which 30 were selected as participants by available sampling method and were randomly selected in two groups of experiments and controls (15 people in each group). The emotion regulation intervention for the experimental group was performed in 8 sessions of ninety minutes, while the control group did not receive any intervention during this period. An emotional adjustment questionnaire (ERQ) was used to collect information. Multivariate analysis of covariance was used to analyze the data. Results: Data analysis showed that there was a significant difference between the mean post-test scores of the experimental and control groups (P <0. 05),this means that emotion regulation training increased the reappraisal strategy and reduced the suppression strategy of the experimental group compared to the control group. Conclusion: The results of the present study showed that emotion regulation training can serve as an effective intervention by increasing the reappraisal strategy and reducing the suppression strategy of emotional experiences to improve cardiovascular disease.
