This study examined the effect of COVID-19 restrictions on the sleep and sleep hygiene of adolescents with ADHD and comorbid sleep problems and neurotypical adolescents (NT)....
Four groups (two ADHD and two NT) of in total 100 adolescents (50 ADHD and 50 NT) were included. One ADHD and NT group were tested during many COVID-19 restrictions, the other during few. MANCOVAs wer...
Both groups had a shorter objective TST during the week during many COVID-19 restrictions. Furthermore, adolescents with ADHD had a shorter subjective SOL during the weekend when there were many COVID...
COVID-19 restrictions are related to the sleep of adolescents with and without ADHD. However, causality and underlying mechanisms need further investigation....
Down syndrome (DS, also known as Trisomy 21) is a condition associated with abnormal neurodevelopment and a higher risk for sleep apnea. Our study sought to better understand and characterize the age-...
Retrospective review of polysomnograms in over 4151 infants, children, and adolescents in the pediatric sleep center at Children's National Hospital in Washington D.C. (0-18 years) including 218 indiv...
The primary findings of our study are that: (1) severe OSA (obstructive apnea-hypopnea index ≥ 10/h) was more prevalent in the DS group (euploid 18% vs. DS 34%, p < 0.001) with the highest OSA severit...
Severe OSA is highly prevalent in children with DS and follows an age-dependent "U" distribution with peaks in newborns/infants and children >10 years of age. Children with DS also have disturbances i...
In the last years, research on pharmacotherapy and non-pharmacological approaches to Multiple Sclerosis (MS) has significantly increased, along with a greater attention to sleep as a clinical outcome ...
A comprehensive MEDLINE (PubMed)-based bibliographic search was conducted. This review includes the 34 papers that met the selection criteria....
First-line disease modifying therapies (especially the interferon-beta) seem to have a negative impact on sleep, assessed subjectively or objectively, while second-line treatments (in particular, nata...
Studies on the effect of drugs and non-pharmacological treatments for MS on sleep are still insufficient and there is a lack of investigations on the most recent therapies. However, there is prelimina...
Mechanisms underlying blood pressure changes in obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) are incompletely understood. Increased respiratory effort is one of the main features of OSA and is associated with sympa...
A machine learning model was built to predict hypertension from clinical data, conventional polysomnography (PSG) indices and MJM-derived parameters (including REMOV). The model was evaluated in a tra...
The analysis included 1127 patients: 901 (80%) in the training subset and 226 (20%) in the test subset. The prevalence of hypertension was 31% and 30%, respectively, in the training and test subsets. ...
The proportion of sleep time spent with increased respiratory effort automatically derived from MJM was identified as a potential new reliable metric to predict prevalent hypertension in patients with...
We aimed to establish the optimal cutoffs of sleep timing and duration to assess obesity, hypertension (HTN), diabetes mellitus (DM), dyslipidemia (DL), and metabolic syndrome (MetS) using data from t...
In this cross-sectional study, data from 18,677 participants (8,107 men and 10,570 women) aged 19 or over were used. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve adjusted for potential confounding ...
Bedtime between 9:00 PM to 0:30 AM for men and 10:00 PM to 11:00 PM for women is appropriate for assessing obesity, HTN, DM, DL, and MetS. The cutoff range was 9:00 PM to 11:00 PM for men ≥65 years an...
Bedtime between 10:00 PM to 11:00 PM, early MSFsc, and short sleep durations were appropriate for assessing CVD risk factors....
This study aimed to investigate the proportion of young OSA adults with sleep-related complaints in a sleep center, affiliated with a tertiary medical center for over a decade. This study presents a c...
Children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) often experience sleep difficulties such as difficulty initiating and maintaining sleep. Problem sleep may impact children's daily functio...
This parallel group, non-inferiority, randomized controlled trial (RCT) will include at least 68 children, aged 5-12 years old with ADHD. Families of children will be recruited from private developmen...
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first RCT to investigate sleep treatment modality for children with ADHD. If effective, clinicians can provide an evidence-based sleep intervention in an acce...

Short sleep duration and poor sleep quality are common in swimmers. Sleep-hygiene strategies demonstrated beneficial effects on several sleep parameters. The present study assessed the impact of a mul...
Twenty-eight elite swimmers (17 [2] y) participated. The sleep-hygiene strategy consisted of 3 interventions. Sleep was measured by actigraphy for 7 days before the beginning of the intervention (base...
All swimmers had a total sleep time of <8 hours per night. Sixty percent of swimmers were moderately morning type. Later bedtime, less time in bed, and total sleep time were observed in the somnolent ...
The present study confirms the importance of implementing sleep-hygiene strategies, particularly in athletes with an ESS score ≥11. A conjunction of individual and collective measures (eg, earlier bed...
This study aimed to use external sleep disturbance as a model to evaluate sleep architecture in climacteric women before and after menopausal hormone therapy (MHT)....
Seventeen perimenopausal and 18 postmenopausal women underwent a polysomnography protocol: an adaptation night, a reference night and a sleep disturbance night with one hand loosely tied to the bed fo...
Fifteen perimenopausal and 17 postmenopausal women completed the study. The perimenopausal and postmenopausal groups were combined. During external sleep disturbance, sleep was shorter and more fragme...
Sleep in climacteric women is easily disturbed, leading to shorter and more fragmented sleep with less deep sleep and REM sleep. Six months of MHT attenuates the observed sleep disturbance....
The aim of this study was to determine if cardiopulmonary coupling (CPC) calculated sleep quality (SQI) may predict changes in metabolic health in children treated with early adenotonsillectomy (eAT) ...
Secondary analysis of the Childhood Adenotonsillectomy Trial (CHAT) was performed including children 5.0-9.9 years with OSA assigned to eAT. The cohort was stratified based on SQI and AHI to evaluate ...
At baseline group...
The results may indicate that children with mild-OSA and high-SQI may be less likely to benefit from eAT than children with moderate-OSA. To improve metabolic health, successfully treating both AHI an...
