Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: This meta-analysis indicated that short sleep duration was significantly associated with incidence of obesity, whereas long sleep duration had no effect on future obesity among adults.

342 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Short sleep duration is associated with self-reported and objectively determined adverse cardiometabolic outcomes, even after adjustment for many covariates and race/ethnicity differences in patterns of risk varied by outcome studied.

236 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The results of animal models of RLS and biochemical, postmortem, and imaging studies in patients with the disease suggest that disruptions in brain iron trafficking lead to disturbances in striatal dopamine neurotransmission for at least some patients with RLS.

220 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Frequent weekday technology use at bedtime was associated with significant adverse effects on multiple sleep parameters, and improving sleep hygiene through better management of technology could enhance the health and well-being of adolescent populations.

203 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Insomnia seems to be on the rise in the general adult population of Norway, which gives reason for concern and prevention of insomnia and cost-effective interventions should receive higher priority in the future.

196 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Agreement of sleep parameters assessed by actigraphy with PSG differs with the placement of the device and is limited for hip-based measurements, which is comparable to that of actigraphY for some parameters.

181 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: A lack of symptom recognition resulting in misdiagnosis prior to reaching the narcolepsy diagnosis is the likely underlying reason, and the importance of closing the diagnostic gap by expanding awareness of narCOlepsy and its symptoms is highlighted.

180 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: It is proposed that in accordance to the allostatic load hypothesis, chronic sleep loss during pregnancy may also be regarded as both a result of stress and a physiological stressor per se, leading to stress 'overload'.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: One out of five young children and preadolescents of the general population have insomnia symptoms, and the prevalence of insomnia symptoms peaks in girls ages 11 to 12 years and is associated with objective sleep disturbances which may be related to hormonal changes associated with the onset of puberty rather than anxiety and depression.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Sleep structure and duration underwent significant alterations throughout the aging process in the general population and there was an important correlation between age, sleep respiratory parameters and PLM index.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Short-term use of ramelteon was associated with improvement in some sleep parameters in patients with insomnia, but its clinical impact is small and long-term trials are needed before solid conclusions can be established.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Morning vigorous exercisers had the most favorable sleep outcomes, including greater likelihood of reporting good sleep quality and lower likelihood of waking unrefreshed, compared to non-exercisers.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: After confounder variables were controlled, insomnia predicted depression and panic disorder (PD), whereas insomnia was predicted by depression and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD).

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Investigating whether OSA is associated with increased cancer mortality in a large cohort of patients with OSA suspicion found that OSA severity was associated withincreased cancer mortality, particularly in patients aged <65 years.

Journal Article
TL;DR: The multiple sleep latency test remains the most important measure, and prior sleep deprivation, shift work, or circadian disorders should be excluded by actigraphy or sleep logs, and a short REM sleep latency on polysomnography can aid in the diagnosis of narcolepsy without cataplexy, although sensitivity is low.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Insomnia is highlighted as an important component of the sleep difficulties experienced by shift workers and may exacerbate certain physical and mental health problems of shift workers, and impair their quality of life.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The treatment of underlying SD led to an improvement of MS-related fatigue, and SD should be examined in all studies investigating MS- related fatigue and be considered as a relevant confounder.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: It is suggested that the existing chronic sleep loss in adolescents could be, at least partly, intervened by improving adolescents' physical and psychosocial conditions, controlling visual screen exposure, regulating school schedules, improving sleep hygiene and daytime behaviors, and changing parents' sleep habits.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: PD patients treated with dopaminergic therapy unexpectedly showed a delayed sleep onset relative to DLMO, suggesting dopaminergy therapy in PD results in an uncoupling of circadian and sleep regulation.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: SB had the highest sensitivity, OR, and AUC, but rather low specificity, and 4-V the highest specificity; the combination of different questionnaires did not improve their predictive value.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Intensive lifestyle interventions are effective in the treatment of OSA, resulting in significant weight loss and a reduction in sleep apnoea severity, and weight loss via intensive lifestyle interventions could be encouraged as a treatment for mild to moderate OSA.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Web- and telehealth-based delivery are both helpful in treating chronic insomnia in rural-dwelling adults, and results showed that both delivery methods produced equivalent changes in insomnia severity, with large effect sizes.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The main aim of the present study was to explore predictors of developing shift work disorder (SWD) among Norwegian nurses using a longitudinal design and showed significant risks of having SWD at follow-up and the following variables measured at baseline.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The quantitative actigraphic criteria obtained in this study were not the same as those obtained previously with a different device, suggesting the need to adopt shared technical solutions for actigraphy.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The adjusted insomnia prevalence estimate in Nord-Trøndelag was 7.9%, and insomnia was strongly associated with poor self-reported health, adjusting for known confounders.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Sleep problems in children with ADHD are commonly transient, but in a subgroup they are characterized as persistent, and early preventive/intervention strategies should target children at risk of persistent sleep problems.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The results support the PSQI's original unidimensional structure, demonstrating that thePSQI global score is a valid and parsimonious measure for assessing and screening sleep dysfunction in cancer patients.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Multiple environmental factors were associated with shorter sleep in young children, with several operating predominantly through later bedtime, and an emphasis on the importance of an early and consistent bedtime could help promote healthy sleep and reduce inequalities in child health.
