Abstract

Sleep is recognized in Life's Essential 8™ as an important behavioral factor for improving and maintaining cardiovascular health. While sleep duration is currently the focus in Life's Essential 8™, sleep health is multidimensional and encompasses regularity, satisfaction, next-day alertness, timing, efficiency, and duration. In addition to sleep, circadian factors have also been implicated in cardiovascular health. For example, shift work, which results in significant circadian misalignment, is associated with poor cardiovascular health. This review will describe methods for measuring, analyzing, and interpreting sleep and circadian rhythms in humans. Subjective and objective measurements of sleep are not always concordant and may reflect distinct constructs. Therefore, both subjective and objective sleep measurements are discussed. Assessment of the circadian system in humans typically relies on the measurement of circadian biomarkers (i.e., melatonin, core body temperature, and/or cortisol) during rigorous and burdensome research protocols. However, novel approaches are being developed to estimate circadian parameters with lower cost and participant burden. This review aims to inform cardiovascular scientists and clinicians of common practices in the assessment of sleep and circadian rhythms.

心血管研究中睡眠和昼夜节律的评估方法。

睡眠在Life's Essential™中被认为是改善和维持心血管健康的重要行为因素。虽然睡眠时间是目前Life’s Essential 8™的重点，但睡眠健康是多维的，包括规律性、满意度、第二天的警觉性、时间、效率和持续时间。除了睡眠，昼夜节律因素也与心血管健康有关。例如，倒班工作导致严重的昼夜节律失调，与心血管健康状况不佳有关。这篇综述将描述测量、分析和解释人类睡眠和昼夜节律的方法。主观和客观的睡眠测量并不总是一致的，可能反映不同的结构。因此，主观和客观的睡眠测量进行了讨论。人类昼夜节律系统的评估通常依赖于在严格和繁重的研究方案中测量昼夜节律生物标志物（即褪黑激素、核心体温和/或皮质醇）。然而，人们正在开发新的方法，以更低的成本和参与者负担来估计昼夜节律参数。这篇综述旨在告知心血管科学家和临床医生在评估睡眠和昼夜节律方面的常见做法。

期刊介绍： This journal intends to provide clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts that review the most important, recently published clinical findings related to the diagnosis, treatment, management, and prevention of hypertension. We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as antihypertensive therapies, associated metabolic disorders, and therapeutic trials. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided.
