TL;DR: The approach of using electrocardiography and actigraphy to monitor sleep was implemented around Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport and the approach has been demonstrated to be feasible for the purpose of the larger-scale study among a representative population around multiple airports in the future.

TL;DR: This study investigated the influence of system latency bias and its variability on two frequently used PVT performance metrics, attentional lapses and response speed, in sleep-deprived and alert subjects.

TL;DR: A large retrospective cohort study that utilized the Ontario Population Health and Environment Cohort (ONPHEC), a cohort of Canadian-born people of Ontario who were 35 years or older in 1996 with follow-up data until 2014, to investigate the effects of road traffic noise on incident diabetes mellitus and hypertension.

TL;DR: A change in research strategy towards use of more specifi c phenotypes (that are guided by family studies of phenotype coaggregation in epilepsy syndromes, or by endophenotypes), and modelling of complexity in studies of the genetic architecture of these phenotypes, would serve to reduce heterogeneity and identify genes for SPECifi c syndrome, seizures, and comorbid traits.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used actigraphy to assess sleep outcomes among 110 adolescents for 14 days each in eighth and ninth grades: duration (hours/night), onset and offset, and sleeping ≥ 8 hours.
