TL;DR: In this article , the authors summarized epidemiologic evidence on insomnia, including the prevalence, incidence, and risk factors, as well as its course and consequences, and concluded that approximately 10% of the adult population suffers from an insomnia disorder and another 20% experiences occasional insomnia symptoms.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors discuss typical changes in the circadian regulation of sleep with aging; how age influences the prevalence, diagnosis, and treatment of circadian rhythm sleep disorders; and how neurologic diseases in older patient impact circadian rhythms and sleep.

TL;DR: In this article , the reciprocal interaction between sleep and obesity was found to be an important factor in developing sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea, which may further impair sleep quality.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors explored the relationship and strength of association between insufficient sleep and insomnia with these health conditions and found that subjective complaints consistent with chronic insomnia and shortened sleep time, both independently and in combination, can be associated with the development of diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease.

TL;DR: The COVID-19 pandemic affected sleep in several people as discussed by the authors and there is also scientific evidence to suggest that these issues could have aroused because of the infiltration of the central nervous system (CNS) by SARS-CoV-2.

TL;DR: Despite extensive research, there is currently no approved drug for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) treatment as discussed by the authors , which is a heterogeneous condition that involves multiple dominating pathophysiological traits.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors report that insufficient sleep and sleep disorders are highly prevalent in the population and are associated with significant morbidity and mortality, and significant sleep health disparities exist in the US population.

TL;DR: In this paper , a conceptual framework for the understanding of the effects of currently used sleep medications is presented, which is aimed to provide a conceptual basis for understanding the effect of sleep medications.

TL;DR: In this article , the impact of the menstrual cycle phase on sleep quality and upper airway resistance in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) was investigated and found that women with PCOS have an increased risk for sleep-disordered breathing.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors discuss strategies to discontinue hypnotics and evidence supporting their use and suggest that discontinuing a hypnotic drug is difficult and often unsuccessful, however, discontinuation is often unsuccessful.

TL;DR: Athletes are at high risk of insufficient sleep duration, poor sleep quality, daytime sleepiness and fatigue, suboptimal sleep schedules, irregular sleep schedules and sleep and circadian disorders as mentioned in this paper .

TL;DR: A review of the field of mammalian circadian neurobiology circa 2015 can be found in this paper , which provides a valuable introduction for those seeking an integrative multilevel overview of the circadian system.

TL;DR: Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia, which includes stimulus control, sleep restriction, sleep hygiene, and cognitive therapy, is the recommended first-line treatment of insomnia and is more effective that medications for the long-term management of insomnia as mentioned in this paper .

TL;DR: In this paper , the model of allostasis and allostatic load is used to evaluate the impact of sleep loss on the brain and body, and the effects of sleep wear and tear on mental health, metabolism and immune function.

TL;DR: Comorbid insomnia and sleep apnea (COMISA) is a highly prevalent and debilitating condition that is more difficult to treat compared with insomnia alone or sleeping apnea alone as mentioned in this paper .

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors focus on melatonin and other melatonin receptor agonists and summarize their circadian phase shifting and sleep-enhancing properties, along with their associated possible safety concerns.

TL;DR: In this article , the effects of drugs on sleep and wakefulness can be explained by the interactions of the drug with any of the numerous neurotransmitters and receptors that are involved in sleep.

TL;DR: In this paper , a detailed history, sleep logs, actigraphy, or polysomnography may be necessary to properly diagnose and manage patients suffering from neurodegenerative conditions.

TL;DR: In this article , sleep patterns change with aging, independent of other factors, and include advanced sleep timing, shortened nocturnal sleep duration, increased frequency of daytime naps, increased number of wakeings and time spent awake during the night, and decreased slow-wave sleep.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors synthesize the literature on sleep and cognitive function in healthy older adults, older adults with insomnia, and older adults having sleep apnea, incorporating information on the potential promising effects of treating poor sleep on cognitive outcomes in older adults.

TL;DR: In this paper , sleep loss in the hospital is associated with worse health outcomes, including; cardio-metabolic derangements and increased risk of delirium, and a variety of nonpharmacological interventions are recommended first to improve sleep loss for hospitalized older adults.

TL;DR: In the past two decades, the use of opioid medications has dramatically risen in part because of an increased awareness by health care providers to treat chronic pain more effectively as discussed by the authors , and patients are encouraged to seek treatment.

TL;DR: A multidisciplinary team to provide sleep care during antenatal period may be needed as discussed by the authors , which can be due to the change of pregnancy itself or the results of sleep disorders.

TL;DR: In this article , the normal physiologic changes in ventilation during sleep and how they can be detrimental to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) were discussed and the diagnosis of sleep-related breathing disorders (SRBDs) in COPD was presented.

TL;DR: SLEEP MEDICINE CLINICS www.sleep.theclinics.comConsulting Editor September 2022 • Volume 17 • Number 3 SLEEPMEDICINECLINICS as mentioned in this paper

TL;DR: In this paper , a review summarizes the common sleep complaints and disorders in school children, and provides an overview of the epidemiology, clinical features, consequences, and treatment of the sleep problems.

TL;DR: Workers experience multiple sleep disturbances such as excessive sleepiness, insomnia, sleep deprivation, and social jet lag, which eventually lead to shift work disorder or exacerbation of other sleep disorders such as insomnia, obstructive sleep apnea, restless legs syndrome, and nonrapid eye movement parasomnia as discussed by the authors .

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors proposed continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or adaptive servo-ventilation (ASV) to improve mortality in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors consider categories of variables that have been explored and suggest those that may be labeled as the best predictors in understanding CPAP use in continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP)-treated patients.

TL;DR: A review of genetical regulation of sleep and genetic factors underlying several sleep disturbances can be found in this paper , where the authors present an overview of sleep genes and their role in sleep disorders.
