Presleep Activities and Time of Sleep Onset in Children

Presleep activities (eg, television watching) have been implicated in the declining sleep duration of young people. However, previous research reported on selected presleep activities, raising the possibility that important activities in this period are not accounted for.

This is the first study in youth to construct the presleep period by using a use-of-time approach. Twin trajectories of higher screen time and lower nonscreen sedentary time/self-care were evident in late sleepers, with the opposite pattern occurring in early sleepers. (Read the full article)

Remembering Former EWC Vice President Wesley Park

Photo: Jimmy Forrest / Honolulu Magazine

HONOLULU (July 23, 2019) -- The East-West Center community was saddened by the passing on July 14 of former EWC Vice President Wesley T. Park, who was in his eighties. A well-known Honolulu business leader and supporter of the arts, he served as the Center’s VP of Administration between 1982 and 1989.

Longtime EWC Director of Administration Ricky Kubota, who was first hired at the Center by Park as a budget analyst, remembers him as “a ‘no-nonsense’ type of guy who expected the work he assigned to be completed — no excuses. While that meant a ton of evening and weekend hours, Wesley led by example because he was in the office too.”
