Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The results suggest that all women should be screened and treated for sleep disturbances throughout pregnancy, especially given the impact of inadequate sleep and sleep disorders on fetal, pregnancy, and postpartum outcomes.

351 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Given the deleterious effects of insomnia on health and performance, the increasing prevalence of insomnia and excessive daytime sleepiness among US adults is a potentially troubling development.

240 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: There is a growing scientific body of knowledge suggesting an association between ACEs and multiple sleep disorders in adulthood, and the available evidence indicates the need to develop treatment strategies such as trauma-informed care for survivors of abuse who suffer from sleep disorders and disturbances.

237 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The findings suggest that some children with ASD and sleep disturbance may have difficulties with hyperarousal, and future research using physiological measures of arousal and objective measures of sleep are needed.

182 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Lower SES was associated with more subjective sleep/wake problems and daytime sleepiness, and increased exposure to disruptive sleep conditions and greater presleep worries were mediators of these associations.

163 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: ICD-10 insomnia disorder has the lowest prevalence, perhaps because excessive concern and preoccupation, one of its diagnostic criteria, is not always present in people with insomnia.

161 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: This study provides empirical support for the notion that sleep loss can causally affect mood states in healthy adolescents, with females having heightened vulnerability to mood deficits following sleep loss.

156 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The Ford Insomnia Response to Stress Test (FIRST) accurately identifies a focused target population in which the premorbid psychobiological processes complicit in SWD onset and progression, as well as shift work-related depression and anxiety changes, can be better investigated, thus improving future preventative efforts.

154 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Melatonin appears to be beneficial for the management of RBD with reductions in clinical behavioral outcomes and decrease in muscle tonicity during REM sleep, an important consideration especially in elderly individuals with RBD receiving polypharmacy.

146 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Sleep deprivation is associated with the perception of health-related quality of life and perceived physical and mental health.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Night-shift work was associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular death, and rotating NSW enhanced the morbidity of breast cancer by 8.9%, and NSW wasassociated with a 2.7% increase in cardiovascular death.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: This meta-analysis confirms a medium effect (SMD’s= 0.62) of sleep deprivation on pain perception, based on experimental studies in healthy subjects, and the clinical relevance should be clarified.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Clinically relevant recommendations for making treatment decisions that can enhance the effective management of patients with narcolepsy are discussed with the objective of providing clinically relevant recommendations.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: A subgroup of OSA children with isolated maxillary narrowing initially and followed up into adulthood present stable, long-term results post RME treatment for pediatric OSA.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Reduced sleep spindles seem to play an important role as a possible mechanism or biomarker for impaired sleep-related memory consolidation in patients with schizophrenia, and are a new target for treatment to improve memory functions and clinical outcomes in these patients.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: It is suggested that poor sleep quality may predict obesity and high body fat mass among adults, however, a causal relationship still has to be confirmed by prospective studies with objective measurements of sleep and obesity.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The diagnostic value of the RBDSQ strongly depends on the clinical setting and may be influenced by the individual's awareness on RBD, which deserves clarification before use of this and other questionnaires can be recommended in epidemiological studies.


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: It was shown that sleepiness and depression, more than objective cognitive deficits, might play a role in the subjectively perceived attention deficits of patients with narcolepsy, and clinicians should pay attention to potential depression.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: It is recommended that sleep quality should be routinely assessed in HIV-infected people in order to identify the medical treatment needs and the potential impact of sleep problems on antiretroviral therapy outcomes in this population.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Screening for sleep difficulties should occur routinely following a mild brain injury to identify adults potentially at risk of poor recovery, and to prevent persistent sleep difficulties emerging.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Higher HSV, not HSD, is significantly associated with abdominal obesity, which can be partially explained by increased caloric intake, especially from carbohydrate, in adolescents.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In adolescent girls, poor sleep quality was only weakly associated with poorer executive functioning, while in boys, poorer sleep quantity and quality were associated with an inattentive pattern of executive functioning.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Sleep problems, including night-shift work, and shorter and longer sleep duration, are associated with an increased breast cancer risk among the Chinese population.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: High habitual sleep variability, not habitual sleep duration, is related to increased energy and food consumption in adolescents, and maintaining a regular sleep pattern may decrease the risk of obesity in adolescents.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Starting an orthodontic treatment as early as symptoms appear is important in order to increase the efficacy of treatment, and an integrated therapy is needed.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: SDB/OSA may increase the risk of incident cancer and when adjusted for traditional cancer risk factors, the association is attenuated but the association, although attenuated, remains significant.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Mothers of co-sleeping infants report more infant night-wakings, and experience poorer sleep than mothers of solitary sleeping infants, and poorer maternal sleep during pregnancy and at three months postpartum predicted higher levels of co,sleeping at six months.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Oral CHM used as a monotherapy or as an adjunct to conventional therapies appears safe, and it may improve subjective sleep in people with insomnia, however, the typical effect of CHM for insomnia cannot be determined due to heterogeneity.
