Sleep

In a new study, 50% of adolescents admitted into a psychiatric hospital screened positive for insomnia.

When cognitively healthy older adults performed a road test when taking a medicine with adverse effects, 35% of participants received a marginal/fail rating.

Results from a cross-sectional analysis of NHANES data found a short sleep duration was associated with an increased risk of early AMD.

A proof-of-concept trial shows a program that addresses sleep pressure, circadian rhythm and hyperarousal in adolescents and young adults receiving mental health care is promising.

The study presents a machine learning algorithm utilizing ECG data during CPAP titration that can effectively forecast sleep apnea events.

Certain craniofacial measurements identified by lateral cephalograms exhibit notable variations in patients with obstructive sleep apnea, providing potential indicators for early diagnosis.

Results show 60% of the children with FASD experienced nightmares, while 44% exhibited frequent insomnia symptoms.

Knowing how patients with different endotypes respond to CPAP therapy can help physicians predict treatment efficacy and tailor individualized treatment plans, according to results.

Sleep quality and the absence of sleep apnea may play a crucial role in preserving cognitive function over time, emphasizing the significance of addressing sleep disturbances for overall brain health.

Investigators systematically review data to further understand the relationship between sleep and PTSD as it impacts treatment outcomes.

Disrupted sleep is prevalent among children and adolescents with Down syndrome and prompt diagnosis and management of the condition are crucial to ensure optimal health and well-being in this population.

Reports from the intervention group show decreased alcohol-related problems, mediated by the change in insomnia severity following treatment.

The investigative team observed a U-shaped relationship between sleep duration and incident diabetes, with the greatest risk when sleep duration was ≥10 hours per day.

Lemborexant was statistically similar to placebo on both day 1 and day 8 for any group in latency to persistent sleep, but superior in sleep efficiency and wake after sleep onset.

CCDC3 has shown to repress inflammatory activity of TNF-alpha, a cytokine postulated involved in sleep regulation and MARCHF1 has shown to inhibit cellular insulin sensitivity and promotes NF-KB, with degree of activation positively correlating with OSA severity.

The higher severity of obstructive sleep apnea is associated with an increased risk of dementia, according to data from SLEEP 2023.

Young adults with psychiatric and behavioral disorders are more likely to experience a decline in sleep intensity and sleep depth more dramatically after adolescence.

Pediatric sleep conditions remain understudied.

With a high rate of lost patients, effective treatment is compromised regardless of the success rendered by unattended portable sleep studies, investigators explain.

Risk factors for trouble sleeping identified, including female sex, former smoking, and diabetes, obstructive lung disease, daytime sleepiness, insomnia, nocturia, and/or snorting/gasping/breathing cessation during sleep.

The changes in sleep quality were notably associated with a higher prevalence of obesity indicators in men following the COVID-19 outbreak.

The results of the study presented during SLEEP 2023 show the rate of suicidality was 46% in individuals who reported moderate-to-severe nightmares.

Experiencing everyday discrimination is a significant predictor of sleep-related impairments among Black adults, highlighting the detrimental impact of discrimination.

The results show intraindividual variability in total sleep time, time in bed, midpoint sleep, bedtime, and risetime were associated with lower sleep quality.

“Our findings underline the importance of sleep health in treating depression as the nation battles the current mental health crisis,” investigators write.

A preference for eveningness was significantly associated with worse overall sleep difficulties, longer sleep latency, reduced sleep satisfaction, more prolonged sleep inertia, more daytime naps, and more severe depressive symptomatology.

“These results have significant implications for the scalability of circadian medicine, particularly as consumer-based wearable technology is already commonplace,” investigators explain.

Higher levels of hydrocinnamate and indolepropionate were associated with lower WHIIRS, with stronger associations found in female participants.

The team aimed to examine the impact surgical treatment of obstructive sleep apnea had on periodic limb movement index in pediatric patients.

The results show melatonin levels or phases relative to clock time were not different between healthy individuals and patients with obstructive sleep apnea.
