Sleepwalking and Sleep Terrors in Prepubertal Children: What Triggers Them?
TL;DR: The clinical presentation and polysomnography of prepubertal children with repetitive sleep terrors and sleepwalking are evaluated, to compare them with a control group, and to evaluate the treatment of associated sleep disorders.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the association of chronic insomnia with incident hypertension using polysomnography and found that the highest risk for incident hypertension was in chronic insomniacs with short sleep duration (odds ratio, 3.8 [95% CI, 1.6-9.0]).
