Obstructive sleep disordered breathing (SDB), has adverse neurocognitive and behavioral sequelae in children, despite conventional measures of sleep disruption being unaffected. There is growing evide...
Children 3-12 years old referred for clinical assessment of SDB and age matched control children from the community were recruited and underwent polysomnography. Sleep spindles were identified manuall...
Children were grouped into control, Primary Snoring, Mild OSA and Moderate/severe OSA, N = 10/group. All measures of spindle activity were lower in the SDB groups compared to the Control children and ...
The reduced spindle activity observed in the children with SDB, particularly Mild OSA, indicates that sleep micro-architecture is disrupted and that this disruption may underpin the negative effects o...
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...
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) in children is associated with changes in the structure of sleep. The possible effects of snoring on spindle activity have not been established. We analyzed the...
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....
Obstructive sleep apnea has been associated with cognitive impairment and may be linked to disorders of cognitive function. These associations may be a result of intermittent hypoxaemia, sleep fragmen...
Fatal insomnia (FI) is a rare prion disease severely affecting sleep architecture. Breathing during sleep has not been systematically assessed. Our aim was to characterize the sleep architecture, resp...
Eleven consecutive FI patients (ten familial, one sporadic) were examined with video-polysomnography (vPSG) between 2002 and 2017. Wake/sleep stages and respiration were evaluated using a modified sco...
Median age at onset was 48 years and survival after vPSG was 1 year. All patients had different combinations of breathing disturbances including increased respiratory rate variability (RRV; n = 7), st...
FI patients show frequent breathing alterations, associated with respiratory nuclei damage, and, in addition to NREM sleep distortion, have severe impairment of REM sleep, related with raphe nuclei de...
Deprivation of sleep (DS) and its effects on circadian rhythm gene expression are not well understood despite their influence on various physiological and psychological processes. This study aimed to ...
Unsafe sleep environments are the primary modifiable risk factor for sudden unexpected infant death (SUID). Despite this knowledge, products that deviate from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) ...
A case-control analysis using publicly available and previously published survey data was conducted for SUID events occurring between January 1, 2018 and April 12, 2019 (the date of the first inclined...
During the study period, 4,900,573 births and 4,363 SUID deaths occurred in the US. Control characteristics were similar between previous night users of an AAP-recommended sleep environment (24%) and ...
This novel analysis fills a longstanding gap in risk assessments of inclined infant sleep products. More timely risk analyses may improve the safety of the marketplace....
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 ...
This cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate whether weekday sleep duration, weekend catch-up sleep, and risk of obstructive sleep apnea are individually and in combination associated with handgrip st...
Data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2019, including weekday sleep duration, weekend catch-up sleep, STOP-BANG scores, relative handgrip strength (handgrip strength div...
After adjusting for other sleep parameters and confounding variables, each adequate sleep parameter individually and collectively was associated with high relative handgrip strength (adjusted odds rat...
Adequate weekday sleep duration, weekend catch-up sleep, and low obstructive sleep apnea risk were individually and in combination associated with high handgrip strength....
