To estimate the prevalence of sleep problems and sleeping pill use and associated factors in the Brazilian population....
This study was conducted with data from the 2019 Brazilian National Health Survey. Our sample consisted of 94,114 participants and the outcomes analyzed were sleep problems and sleeping pill use. Soci...
We found a 35.1% (95%CI: 34.5-35.7) and 8.5% (95%CI: 8.2-8.9) prevalence of sleep problems and sleeping pill use, respectively. Sleep problems were associated with women (PR = 1.41; 95%CI: 1.36-1.46),...
This study found that the prevalence of sleep problems and sleeping pill use in Brazilians indicates the need for attention and sleep care for this population, especially in women and those with lifes...
Paediatric sleep diagnostics is performed using complex multichannel tests in specialised centres, limiting access and availability and resulting in delayed diagnosis and management. Such investigatio...
We aimed to determine the individual effect of long/short sleep and of inactivity on diabetes risk using data from a population-based prospective study in Switzerland....
Prospective study with a median (min-max) follow-up of 9 (2.4-11.5) years. Incident diabetes was defined based on 1) fasting plasma glucose (FPG), 2) glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), or 3) any diagnostic ...
Data from 3355 participants (57.6% women, mean age years 56.6 ± 10.3) was analyzed. There were 136, 110 and 142 incident cases of diabetes defined by FPG, HbA...
Being sedentary, but not being a long or a short sleeper, increases the risk of developing diabetes....
This study investigated the temporal relationships between apnea-hypopnea (AH) and sleep bruxism (SB) events and correlated SB to various respiratory/sleep indexes in adult patients with concomitant o...
Nocturnal PSG data of 147 consecutive OSA patients were examined for comorbid SB. Among the 49 subjects with coexisting OSA and SB, 26 were randomly selected for in-depth appraisal of temporal pattern...
The majority (84.5%) of AH events were unrelated to SB events. Of the 15.5% of related activities, T2 and T3 patterns occurred in 14.1% and 1.4%, respectively. SB events/index, the percentage of unrel...
As most AH events were unrelated to SB events, OSA and SB are probably epiphenomena in adult patients with concomitant conditions. Where AH-SB events were related, the T2 temporal pattern, where SB ev...
AH and SB events are probably epiphenomena in adult patients with coexisting OSA and SB. Even so, OSA patients should be routinely screened for SB and vice versa considering their frequent comorbidity...
This case study reports on a professional football player (age: 17.6 years) who was referred for sleep monitoring and intervention after reporting excessive night-time awakenings. The player undertook...
Sleep-wake disorders (SWD) are acknowledged risk factors for both ischemic stroke and poor cardiovascular and functional outcome after stroke. SWD are frequent following stroke, with sleep apnea (SA) ...
Although intake of specific macronutrients has been associated with sleep parameters, interventional evidence is lacking. Therefore, this randomized trial was conducted to examine how a more unhealthy...
In a crossover study, 15 healthy young men consumed two isocaloric diets in random order for a week: an HFHS and a low-fat/low-sugar diet. Following each diet, in-lab sleep was recorded using polysomn...
Sleep duration did not differ across the diets based on actigraphy and the in-lab polysomnography. Sleep macrostructure was similar after 1 week on each diet. Compared with the low-fat/low-sugar diet,...
Short-term consumption of a more unhealthy diet alters sleep oscillatory features that regulate the restorative properties of sleep. Whether such changes can mediate adverse health outcomes associated...
Caffeine is a well-known psychostimulant reputed to alleviate the deleterious effects of sleep deprivation. Nevertheless, caffeine can alter sleep duration and quality, particularly during recovery sl...
Forty-one participants performed a double-blind, crossover TSD protocol (38 h of continuous wakefulness) with acute caffeine or placebo. Caffeine (2.5 mg/kg) or placebo was administered twice during c...
TSD was associated with a rebound in total sleep time (TST) on the recovery night (+110.2 ± 23.2 min,...
Acute caffeine intake during TSD affects nighttime recovery sleep, with an interaction with daily consumption. These results may influence advice on caffeine intake for night-shift workers. (NCT038598...
Circadian rhythm regulates many important biological functions in humans. The goal of this study is to explore the impact of day-to-day deviations in the sleep-wake cycle on nighttime blood pressure (...
Twenty-four-hour ambulatory BP monitoring and 7-day accelerometer data were obtained from 365 adult participants (age range, 18.7-50.1 years; 52.6% Black participants and 47.3% European Americans; 64....
A 1-hour increase in the SD of sleep midpoint was associated with a 1.16% decrease in nighttime BP dipping (...
Sleep variability and sleep irregularity are associated with blunted BP dipping in the general population. In addition, data from the present investigation also demonstrate that the ethnic difference ...
While workforce downsizing can benefit firms by increasing efficiency, it also leads to a deterioration of worker job security. This study uses German survey data to investigate the impact of downsizi...
