TL;DR: The effectiveness of psychosocial interventions to improve sleep on reducing these health outcomes in general community settings is examined and a linear association between a statistically significant increase in mortality and sleep duration at less than six hours is found.

TL;DR: The PSQI proved to be a suitable instrument for measuring sleep quality and gender differences, psychological factors, and obesity should be taken into account when groups of patients are compared with respect to sleep problems.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the ESS-CHAD is a reliable and internally valid measure of daytime sleepiness in adolescents 12-18 years old and has internal validity and a unidimensional structure with good model fit.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined whether the self-reported sleep duration of U.S. adolescents changed between 2009 and 2015 and examined whether new media screen time (relative to other factors) might be responsible for changes in sleep.

TL;DR: Female adolescents reached the highest prevalence rates for most sleep disorders, insufficient sleep and daytime malfunctioning, and sleep onset time as well as sleep duration showed U-shaped relationships with GSD prevalence rates.

TL;DR: Compared to pregnant women without OSA, pregnant women with OSA have a significantly higher risk of pregnancy-specific complications such as gestational hypertensive conditions and gestational diabetes, and rare medical and surgical complicationssuch as cardiomyopathy, pulmonary edema, congestive heart failure, and hysterectomy.

TL;DR: Acupuncture treatment is more effective than sham acupuncture treatment in increasing insomnia patients' sleep quality and improving their psychological health.

TL;DR: This review reports insights into the evolution of the circadian mechanism and its evolutionary shift which is vital and plays a major role in assisting different organisms to adapt in different zones and controls their internal biological clocks with changing external cues.

TL;DR: The evolution of sleep questionnaires and diaries over time is examined, their structure and usage are compared, and the most advanced and used apps are presented, and their advantages over classical paper diaries are discussed.

TL;DR: Prospective and experimental studies are needed to confirm the possible relationship among sleep quality, composition of the gut microbiome, and cognitive flexibility in healthy older adults and determine whether improving microbiome health may buffer against sleep-related cognitive decline in older adults.

TL;DR: CPAP is the most efficacious in complete resolution of sleep apnea and in improving the indices of saturation during sleep, and MADs offer a reasonable alternative to CPAP, exercise training which significantly improved daytime sleepiness could be used as adjunctive to the former two.

TL;DR: The results suggest that after adjustment for potential confounding variables, frequent insomnia symptoms may be associated with a small statistical advantage, which is unlikely to be clinically meaningful, on simple neurocognitive tasks.

TL;DR: The study showed that insomnia and sleep insufficiency are prevalent among women and men during pregnancy and underline the impact of insomnia to both maternal and paternal health during pregnancy as well as to the implementation of effective interventions to prevent negative consequences of sleep disturbances.

TL;DR: The data in RLS point to a pathophysiology that involves decreased acquisition of iron by cells in the brain, and activation of pathways (eg, hypoxia) that are designed to limit cellular uptake are unknown.

TL;DR: Findings from several branches of sleep research are aggregated to critically examine the paradoxical role of naps in cognitive and somatic health and uncovers gaps in the literature to guide research opportunities in the field.

TL;DR: IRBD is not uncommon in the elderly community and its demographic and clinical profile is similar to those diagnosed in sleep centers, according to a validated screening single question for IRBD diagnosis.

TL;DR: CBT-I should be used whenever possible, and medications should be limited to the lowest necessary dose and shortest necessary duration, after reviewing the available literature.

TL;DR: The first data on the prospective, reciprocal association between short sleep duration and DSM-IV anxiety disorders among adolescents and sleep duration among adolescents are provided, suggesting that reduced quantity of sleep may increase risk for anxiety, but anxiety does not increaserisk for decreased sleep duration.

TL;DR: EDS and fatigue were associated with cortical thickness reduction primarily in regions with increased age-susceptibility, which may indicate accelerated brain aging.

TL;DR: A curvilinear relationship between sleep duration and mortality was observed in advanced cancer patients, and the high prevalence of sleep problems and link with mortality warrants routine screening and development of evidence-based treatments for sleep problems in the oncology setting.

TL;DR: The present article focused on the most relevant PLMS-related findings of the last decade, and sought to provide a coherent and comprehensive overview on this enigmatic motor phenomenon.

TL;DR: Moderate-to-severe OSA is positively associated with multiple indicators of cerebral SVD, including WMHs, CMBs, and PVSs.

TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of sleep disturbances in children with Type 1 diabetes and their parents has been investigated and the associations between child sleep, glycemic control and adherence, parent sleep and well-being, parental fear of hypoglycemia, and nocturnal caregiving behavior.

TL;DR: The main evidence of efficacy of pitolisant was based on two Phase III clinical trials and the most commonly reported adverse reactions were headache, insomnia and nausea.

TL;DR: In this article, a community-based study of narcolepsy comorbidities, both at diagnosis and after prolonged follow-up, was revealed, including OSA, chronic low back pain, psychiatric disorders in general, endocrinopathies, and obesity.

TL;DR: The epidemiologic literature examining the association of restless legs syndrome (RLS) with cardiovascular disease (CVD) is critically appraised and whether lessons learned from the study of cardiovascular consequences of other sleep disorders might inform a research agenda to examine the potential mechanisms of cardiovascular morbidity of RLS is considered.

TL;DR: The thalamus, which includes different sensorimotor and limbic/nociceptive networks, appears to have lower iron content, metabolic abnormalities, dopaminergic dysfunction, and changes in activation and functional connectivity, which could be the primary change.

TL;DR: Support of disturbed central and peripheral excitability in RLS is provided by the effectiveness of nonpharmacological tools, such as repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and transcutaneous spinal direct current stimulation, in transiently modulating neural excitability, thereby extending the therapeutic repertoire.

TL;DR: The SCI, SCI short form, and ISI were found to correctly identify individuals with DSM-5- and ICSD-3-defined insomnia disorder and showed good concordance with measures of daytime dysfunction, as well as subjective and objective sleep.

TL;DR: A narcolepsy diagnosis was associated with a wide range of comorbid medical illness claims, at significantly higher rates than matched controls and in all the CCS multilevel categories.
