Depression, poor sleep duration and low self-efficacy are common in mothers of children with sleep problems. However, research rarely extends beyond the postpartum period. This study investigated the ...
Breast cancer is the most prevalent type of cancer among women worldwide. Many recently diagnosed and treated breast cancer patients complain about sleep disorders, depression, anxiety, stress, and fa...
This cross-sectional study was conducted among women who received radiotherapy for breast cancer (stage 1-3) at King Abdul-Aziz Medical City-Jeddah from January to August 2021. Each participant comple...
Fifty-six women with a mean age of 50.1 years and an average of 10 months after cancer diagnosis were included. Poor sleep quality was present in 58% of respondents. Symptomatic depression, anxiety, a...
Poor sleep quality was present in 58% of women with breast cancer receiving radiotherapy and was significantly associated with depression, anxiety, stress, and hot flashes. Depression level and cancer...
Fatigue is the most common daytime impairment of insomnia disorder (ID). Thalamus is acknowledged as the key brain region closely associated with fatigue. However, the thalamus-based neurobiological m...
Forty-two ID patients and twenty-eight well-matched healthy controls (HCs) underwent simultaneous electroencephalography--functional magnetic resonance imaging. We calculated the functional connectivi...
After sleep onset, the connectivity with the bilateral thalamus was increased in the cerebellar and cortical regions. Compared with HCs, ID patients showed significantly lower FC between left thalamus...
These findings contribute to an emerging framework that reveals the link between insomnia-related daytime fatigue and the altered thalamic network after sleep onset, further highlighting the possibili...
To determine obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) phenotypes using cluster analysis including variables of sleep perception and sleep quality and to further explore factors correlated with poor sleep quality...
This retrospective study included patients with OSA undergoing polysomnography (PSG) between December 2020 and April 2022. Two-step cluster analysis was performed to detect distinct clusters using sle...
A total of 1118 patients were included (81.6% men) with mean age ± SD 43.3 ± 13.1 years, Epworth sleepiness score, 5.7 ± 4.4, and insomnia severity index 3.0 ± 2.4. Five distinct OSA clusters were ide...
Subgroups of patients with OSA have different patterns of sleep perception and quality that may help us to further understand the characteristics of sleep perception in OSA and provide clues for perso...
Community-delivered sleep education interventions have been demonstrated to be effective in improving sleep outcomes, but whether these benefits persist once the program ends is not well characterized...
Nineteen participants were surveyed three times: at baseline, program completion (six weeks), and the six-month post-program timepoint. Sleep outcomes for quality, duration, insomnia symptoms, sleep h...
Longitudinal models adjusted for baseline sleep problems revealed the benefits achieved immediately after the program were retained at six months for sleep quality (estimate: -2.0 (95%CI: -2.7, -1.3))...
These results suggest that a community-delivered sleep education intervention can produce sustained benefits for participants and should be considered as a tool to address uncomplicated sleep issues....
Rates of poor sleep and hypertension are alarming worldwide. In this study, we investigate the association between sleeping difficulties and sleep duration with hypertension risk in women....
Sixty-six thousand one hundred twenty-two participants of the Nurses' Health Study 2, who were free of hypertension at baseline (2001), were followed prospectively for 16 years and incident hypertensi...
During follow-up, we documented 25 987 incident cases of hypertension. After controlling for demographic and lifestyle risk factors, compared with women who slept 7 to 8 hours, women with shorter slee...
Difficulty falling or staying asleep and short sleep duration were associated with higher risk of hypertension among women in our study. Screening for poor sleep could be useful in identifying people ...
To examine associations between three clinically significant sleep disorders (chronic insomnia, obstructive sleep apnoea, restless legs syndrome) and workplace productivity losses among young Australi...
Prospective, observational study; 22-year follow-up of participants in the longitudinal birth cohort Raine Study (Perth, Western Australia)....
Currently employed 22-year-old Raine Study participants who underwent in-laboratory sleep disorder screening for moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnoea (apnoea-hypopnea index of more than fifteen...
Total workplace productivity loss over twelve months, assessed with the World Health Organization Health and Work Performance Questionnaire....
Of 1235 contactable 22-year-old Raine Study cohort members, 554 people (44.9%; 294 women [53%]) underwent overnight polysomnography, completed the baseline sleep questionnaire, and completed at least ...
Insomnia is a risk factor for workplace productivity loss in young workers. Tailored interventions are needed to identify and manage sleep disorders, particularly as most of the sleep disorders detect...
The present study aimed at exploring whether lifetime post-traumatic stress spectrum symptoms are associated with chronotype in patients with bipolar disorder (BD). Moreover, we explored whether the c...
People with schizophrenia spectrum disorder diagnoses commonly have poor sleep, which predicts various negative outcomes. The problems are diverse, including substantial circadian dysregulation, sleep...
This paper reports on a mixed methods expert opinion study based on the principles of Delphi methodology. The study examines and explores opinion on the optimal contents and format for an occupational...
Participants emphasised the central importance of intervention personalisation, although the manner and extent of personalisation suggested varied. Many components and domains were acknowledged as imp...
These results are informative for clinicians treating sleep problems in people with schizophrenia and related conditions, as well as for decision makers considering the potential contribution of the p...
Determine if a bi-directional relationship exists between the development of sleep disorders (obstructive sleep apnea [OSA] and/or insomnia) and existing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and vic...
Longitudinal analyses of a prospective representative U.S. military cohort....
Millennium Cohort Study responders in 2011-2013 (Time 1 [T1]) and 2014-2016 (Time 2 [T2]) without insomnia or OSA at T1 (N = 65,915) or without PTSD at T1 (N = 71,256)....
Provider-diagnosed OSA, self-reported items for insomnia, provider-diagnosed PTSD, and current PTSD symptoms were assessed at T1 and T2. Adjusted multivariable models identified military-related facto...
Self-reported history of provider-diagnosed PTSD without current symptoms at T1 was associated with new-onset OSA only and comorbid OSA/insomnia at T2, while current PTSD symptoms and/or diagnosis was...
In this large military cohort, findings suggest that PTSD and OSA and/or insomnia are bi-directionally predictive for their development, which was sometimes revealed by health care utilization. Releva...
