Showing papers in "Sleep Medicine in 2021"

TL;DR: Results indicated that insomnia is more severe in people who are female, young, living in the epicenter and experiencing a high degree of threat from COVID-19, and the general public has developed poor sleep hygiene habits, which deserve attention.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors documented the prevalence of clinical cases of depression and selected risk factors during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in 13 countries throughout the world.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that both the sleep quality and perceived stress levels of the non-diseased general public required attention during the COVID-19 pandemic and identify personality characteristics related to better sleep quality, demonstrating the important role of self-esteem in environmental adaptation.

TL;DR: In this article, the impact of home confinement during the COVID-19 pandemic on sleep patterns and sleep disturbances in Italian children and adolescents was examined, and the authors found a significant delay in bedtime and risetime in all age groups and adolescents experienced the most significant delay: weekday bedtime ≥23 was reported by 284% of 6- to 12-year old children during lockdown vs 09% before and by 635% vs 123% of 13- to 18-year-old adolescents.

TL;DR: Investigating how the period of home confinement affected self-reported sleep characteristics in Italians and Belgians, with special regard to sleep timing and subjective quality found that in the Italian sample sleep quality and timing underwent significant modifications, whereas in the Belgian sample this category was the one who suffered less from the restrictions.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the sleep habits of school-going children before and during school closure in the national lockdown period (called "Circuit Breaker" or CB in Singapore) due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

TL;DR: This review reviewed the latest updates available in the literature and particular attention was paid to reports that detailed all possible causal relationships involving both extrinsic and intrinsic factors that may be relevant to this topic.

TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to study the prevalence and pattern of sleep disturbances in children and adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the pooled estimates for various sleep abnormalities were calculated using a random-effect model.

TL;DR: The authors summarizes the known associations between COVID-19 and sleep dysfunction, including insomnia, excessive daytime sleepiness, restless legs syndrome and nightmares, and touches upon pandemic-related considerations for obstructive sleep apnea and continuous positive airway pressure treatment.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used an online survey to collect self-reported demographic, clinical, sleep and dream data and found that sleep duration and several sleep quality indexes were the best predictors of dream variables.

TL;DR: Findings point to possible psychological factors that uniquely explain young adults' poor sleep quality during the COVID-19 pandemic in the U.S. Implications for supporting young adults sleep and well-being during the pandemic are addressed.

TL;DR: Compared to studies from the general population during the COVID-19 pandemic levels of anxiety and depressive symptoms were substantial lower in this Norwegian sample of relatively physically active adults, but change in PA level during the lockdown did not influence the association between mental health and sleep.

TL;DR: In this article, a meta-analysis showed that OSA was associated with composite poor outcome, including ICU admissions, the need for mechanical ventilation, and mortality, in COVID-19 patients.

TL;DR: An impairment in well-being during lockdown is suggested, associated with anxiety, lack of physical activity and sleep disruptions, in a population that has been only lightly affected by COVID-19 such as in Reunion island, an overseas French department.

TL;DR: The prevalence of insomnia was highly variable between sites, but the predictors appeared to be the same everywhere, and seemed to be more related to the presence of mood and anxiety disorders than a site-specific effect and thus may be a good indicator of mental health.

TL;DR: In this article, a cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate the association between sleep quality and quality of life (QoL) and found that poor sleep quality is associated with impaired QoL, particularly if some or severe problems with anxiety/depression are present.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provided an updated overview of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on circadian rhythms and sleep based on the results of published studies (n = 48) in three sections.

TL;DR: In this article, the independent risk factors of long or short sleep durations and several typical characteristics of poor sleep quality for incident CVDs, cancer, and mortality were estimated.

TL;DR: The changes in daily temporal patterns of humans during a prolonged stay-at-home situation indicate that human sleep habits may change according to existing living conditions.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper investigated sleep and mood status, and detected the influencing factors of the psychological status of the COVID-19 patients after recovery, and found that the recovered patients had a low rate of depression and a high rate of insomnia.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic related lockdown on sleep patterns and sleep quality in adolescents and young adults and found that a pronounced shift towards later sleep combined with an increase in sleep duration was found during the pandemic.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the sleep quality of patients who required mental health and clinical interventions in a hospital after being diagnosed with COVID-19 and found that the duration of hospitalisation was longer in patients experiencing poor sleep quality.

TL;DR: The possibility of recovering a good sleep largely depends on the type of sleep disorder, and the decrease of sleep problems occurred mainly among people with mild sleep problems during the confinement.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of behavioral and pharmacological sleep interventions on glucose metabolism were explored and the results showed that CBT-I and sleep education resulted in significantly improved self-reported sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, mean difference, MD, −1.31, 95% confidence interval (CI) ǫ 1.83, −0.80), non-significant reduction in hemoglobin A1c level (MD -0.35%, 95% CI - 0.84, 0.19, 4.67).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report effectiveness and safety outcomes in subjects with insomnia who received up to twelve months of continuous lemborexant treatment in Study E2006-G000-303 (Study 303; SUNRISE-2).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the link between sleep deprivation, susceptibility to viral infections and psychosocial wellbeing, in relevance to COVID-19 and summarize the existing evidence regarding the presence and predictors of traumatic stress/PTSD and burnout in HCWs.

TL;DR: Home confinement during COVID-19 pandemic was significantly associated with NOWS among PD subjects, and NOWS was associated with global worsening of PD symptoms and poorer life quality.

TL;DR: Micro-sleep instability could be a biomarker for RBD and for proximity of conversion from RBEs, as prodromal RBD, to definite RBD in PD patients.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors validated the Japanese version of the 9-item Stress and Anxiety to Viral Epidemics scale (SAVE-9) and the relationships among the stress related to viral epidemics, insomnia, anxiety, and depression.
