TL;DR: Nal pillows showed equal long-term effectiveness and objective adherence as standard nasal masks in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome patients, without statistically significant between-group differences.

TL;DR: Patient education and behavioral management represent the first treatment approaches to the patient with parasomnia, especially in case of disorders of arousal (DOA), and the most commonly used medications are benzodiazepines and antidepressants.

TL;DR: The main contribution of this study is to confirm the suppressive effect of stable deep sleep on IS, and present two new indices for quantifying the spatial and temporal instability of sleep that found that both instability indices are correlated with a high ISR.

TL;DR: This study indicates that the mechanism of sleep-wake regulation in narcolepsy shows a somewhat lower degree of complexity as compared to normal controls, and data seem to confirm the already suggested different and simpler coupling between the homeostatic process of sleep regulation and the circadian and ultradian drives to sleep that occurs in bed rest condition in this disease.

TL;DR: This ‘catalogue of knowledge and skills’ for sleep medicine is proposed as a template for developing more standardized curricula across Europe, serving not only physicians with a medical speciality degree, but also PhD and MSc health professionals such as clinical psychologists and scientists, technologists and nurses.
