TL;DR: This paper aims to demonstrate the efforts towards in-situ applicability of EMMARM, which aims to provide real-time information about concrete mechanical properties such as E-modulus and compressive strength.

TL;DR: Investigating associations between sleep duration and health-related measures, and factors associated with short sleep, in adolescents in an East Asian society with strong emphasis on academic achievement found short sleep may contribute to poorer adolescent health and well-being.

TL;DR: Spending multiple hours a day on electronic devices is associated with shorter sleep duration across all ages, however, portable electronic devices have a stronger association with sleep duration than non-portable electronic screens, with non- portable devices less relevant for sleep duration in children over age 10.

TL;DR: CBTI and SRT reduce depressive symptoms, dysfunctional beliefs about sleep, and presleep somatic hyperarousal in postmenopausal women, with CBTI producing superior results.

TL;DR: The findings propose a novel strategy for shifting clock timing towards a pattern that is more aligned to societal demands that could significantly improve elements of performance, mental health and sleep timing in the real world.

TL;DR: The current review summarizes the available evidence regarding the association between vitamin D and sleep, focusing on both clinical and preclinical studies.

TL;DR: EDS is prevalent among children and adolescents with the emergence of female preponderance at mid-puberty and independent association with pervasive adverse emotional and behavioral problems and the mechanisms underlying the modulation effects of sex and puberty on EDS merit further investigation.

TL;DR: In conclusion, poor sleep can no longer be disregarded, yet methodologies that are more rigorous and a scope beyond health may foster a better understanding of the role of (poor) sleep across childhood neurodevelopment.

TL;DR: Both screen-based activities and sleep behaviors are highlighted as potential intervention targets to reduce depressive symptoms among adolescents, and the association between screen time and depressive symptoms is partially or fully mediated by sleep.

TL;DR: Caregivers' endorsement of a child sleep problem was associated with developmentally-relevant sleep behaviors, with night awakenings most relevant during infancy and difficulty falling asleep most relevant in middle childhood.

TL;DR: iRBD might be a clinical condition in which compensatory cholinergic upregulation in those areas occurs in association with the initial phases of a neurodegenerative process leading to a clinically observable synucleinopathy.

TL;DR: These changes give a description about underlying neural alterations in OSA patients and may explain the psychic disorders, memory deficits, cardiovascular abnormalities and endocrine metabolism system problems, suggesting the early diagnose and treatment.

TL;DR: The age around 16-17 years can be considered a remarkable breakpoint when sleep behavior significantly changes back towards slightly longer sleep, less socially jetlagged behavior, and the increase in eveningness is then stopped but not reversed.

TL;DR: Low-quality evidence suggests that CPAP therapy does not significantly improve survival or prevent major cardiovascular events in adults with OSA and cardiovascular disease.

TL;DR: Evidence further supports the current hypothesis that OSA may possibly start AD neuropathological processes and alteration of CSF orexin levels and β-amyloid isoforms 40 and 42 in OSA patients is proved.

TL;DR: In mid-pregnancy, women with high sleep reactivity report elevated symptoms of insomnia, depression, and anxiety, and are more likely to endorse suicidal ideation, thereby potentially improving maternal and child outcomes.

TL;DR: A full sleep assessment in children with ADHD confirmed the validity of the sleep phenotypes hypothesis, and revealed a much higher percentage of sleep problems than that found in the literature.

TL;DR: Overall the findings suggest developmental trends of worsening sleep during adolescents' transition to young adulthood are suggested and interventions to improve sleep may need to target specific issues faced by youth at that particular period in their lives.

TL;DR: Higher PSQI score was associated with increased odds of prevalent hypertension in both genders and, in addition, poorer sleepers might suffer from hypertension.

TL;DR: A decline in sleep duration as well as a dramatic shift in sleep onset times throughout adolescence continues well into early adulthood and stabilizes nearer age 30, while girls had longer sleep duration and earlier timed sleep in the current study.

TL;DR: A systematic review of papers published in two databases up to May 2018, with adults with epilepsy who have undergone either two consecutive nights of in-laboratory polysomnography (PSG) or one night of ambulatory PSG, found that wake after sleep onset (WASO) time in minutes was higher in patients with refractory temporal lobe epilepsy.

TL;DR: The results of this systematic review point out that low SES could be a risk factor for OSA, and obesity, SES and disparities in health care could mediate the association between OSA and racial/ethnic minorities.

TL;DR: MS specialists and general neurologists should be aware of these comorbidities since neuroimaging, which is routinely performed in MS, could provide helpful clinical indications on patients with secondary sleep-related disorders and to categorize symptomatic patients who need to underdo more in-depth sleep studies.

TL;DR: The treatment approach to effective treatment of the patients with Non-REM parasomnias or POD offering first sleep hygiene advice, next treatment of concurrent sleep disorders and management of other priming factors like stress and anxiety, and lastly pharmacotherapy for Non- REM parasomnia is supported by the results.

TL;DR: Although medical and psychological parameters improved during the 12-month course of cancer treatment, the results show that insomnia is highly persistent, especially in women, and adequate support for those affected is needed.

TL;DR: A good compliance as well as a correction of OSA may be obtained with HFNC in selected children with OSA not compliant to CPAP, and HFNC may be used as a rescue therapy for children not compliant with CPAP.

TL;DR: It is suggested that it is not delayed sleep timing per se that drives poor functional outcomes in individuals with Delayed Sleep-Wake Phase Disorder, but rather the timing of sleep relative to circadian phase and resultant irregular sleep patterns.

TL;DR: The present narrative review discusses how patient characteristics, hospital routines, and hospital environment may all contribute to sleep disturbances and circadian misalignment in patients.

TL;DR: The evidence presented in this systematic review would suggest that the inclusion of parent training within behavioral sleep interventions for children with ASD and/or ID is generally effective and valued by parents.

TL;DR: Poor sleepers, particularly those with sleep onset insomnia symptoms, are vulnerable to short sleep and GAD anxiety and worry during chronic stress.
