Long sleep duration is independently associated with a decreased risk of depressive symptoms in Chinese adolescents....
Several recent global events may have impacted adolescent sleep and exacerbated pre-existing disparities by social positions (i.e., social roles, identity or sociodemographic factors, and/or group mem...
Cross-sectional analyses were conducted using self-reported data collected during 2020-2021 (the first full school year after the COVID-19 pandemic onset) from 52,138 students (mean [SD] age = 14.9 [1...
Females reported a mean [95% CI] difference of -1.7 [-3.7, 0.4] min/day less sleep on weekdays than males, but 7.1 [4.5, 9.6] min/day more sleep on weekends, resulting in no difference in average dail...
Differences in sleep duration and quality were most profound among adolescents from the lowest and highest SES. Racial disparities were more evident on weekdays. Compensatory weekend sleep appears mor...
Sleep duration is associated with stroke risk and is 1 of 8 essential components of cardiovascular health according to the American Heart Association. As stroke disproportionately burdens Black and Hi...
NOMAS is a study of community-dwelling adults. Self-reported nightly sleep duration and daytime sleepiness were collected between 2006 and 2011. Carotid plaque presence, total plaque area, and intima-...
The sample (n=1553) had a mean age of 64.7±8.5 years and was 61.9% female, 64.8% Hispanic, and 18.2% non-Hispanic Black. Of the sample, 55.6% had carotid plaque, 22.3% reported nightly short sleep (<7...
The association between long sleep and subclinical carotid atherosclerosis may explain prior associations between long sleep and stroke....
The association between sleep duration and all-cause mortality remains unclear among people with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)....
To explore whether there is an association between sleep duration and all-cause mortality among people with OSA....
This cohort study investigated participants with OSA from the Sleep Heart Health Study (SHHS) in which participants were enrolled between 1995 and 1998 with questionnaires and polysomnography (PSG) as...
Participants were divided into 4 groups with objective sleep duration of (1) at least 7 hours, (2) 6 to less than 7 hours, (3) 5 to less than 6 hours, and (4) less than 5 hours, which was determined b...
All-cause mortality was defined as deaths from any cause and its risk was compared among 4 OSA groups using Cox regression models....
A total of 2574 participants with OSA were included (1628 [63.2%] men and 946 [36.8%] women; mean [SD] age, 65.4 [10.7] years; 211 [8.2%] Black, 2230 [86.6%] White, 133 [5.2%] other race). Overall, 68...
In this cohort study of 2574 participants with OSA, those with shorter objective sleep duration had higher risk of all-cause mortality independent of AHI compared with those sleeping at least 7 hours....
Shift work is associated with insufficient sleep, which can compromise worker alertness with ultimate effects on occupational health and safety. Adapting shift work schedules may reduce adverse occupa...
To assess the effects of shift schedule adaptation on sleep quality, sleep duration, and sleepiness among shift workers....
We searched CENTRAL, PubMed, Embase, and eight other databases on 13 December 2020, and again on 20 April 2022, applying no language restrictions....
We included randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and non-RCTs, including controlled before-after (CBA) trials, interrupted time series, and cross-over trials. Eligible trials evaluated any of the follo...
Two review authors independently screened the titles and abstracts of the records recovered by the search, read through the full-text articles of potentially eligible studies, and extracted data. We a...
We included 11 studies with a total of 2125 participants. One study was conducted in a laboratory setting and was not considered for drawing conclusions on intervention effects. The included studies i...
Forward and faster rotation may reduce sleepiness during shifts, and may make no difference to sleep quality, but the evidence is very uncertain. Very low-certainty evidence indicated that sleep durat...
The association between the length of sleep and atherosclerosis has been reported in many observational studies. However, little is known about its significance as a risk factor for atherosclerosis or...
