Previous research provided evidence that chronobiology, which reflects the individual expression of circadian rhythms, affects the regulation of gait dynamics. The literature also suggests the disruption of these circadian rhythms affects multiple human physiological systems. Considering the association between chronobiology and gait complexity, and its clinical relevance, it would be important to investigate whether the disruption of sleep-wake cycle could affect gait complexity. This study aimed to investigate the effect of 1 night of sleep deprivation on gait complexity and variability of healthy individuals, exploring potential implications for motor control. Seventeen healthy and young male adults underwent an in-lab supervised 24-hr sleep deprivation protocol, with gait complexity and variability assessed using detrended fluctuation analysis and coefficient of variation, respectively. Chronotype was also assessed through the Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire. We observed a loss of gait complexity with sleep deprivation (PRE: 0.8 ± 0.13; POST24: 0.62 ± 0.08, p < 0.001), while gait variability remained unaltered (p = 0.132). Additionally, we demonstrated an association between gait complexity's relative changes and chronotype (r = -0.665, p = 0.004). Overall, our findings suggest sleep deprivation induces a decrease in the neuromuscular system's ability to flexibly adapt gait output. Moreover, we also highlight the importance of chronobiology in motor control, as we observed the more morning-type an individual is, the greater the loss of complexity following 1 night of sleep deprivation. Altogether, our findings underscore the potential impact of sleep deprivation on central processes underlying gait complexity.","PeriodicalId":17057,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sleep Research","volume":" ","pages":"e14478"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143189555","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study aimed to examine the expression of cyclic alternating pattern in non-REM sleep in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) and to compare these findings with the control group. Thirty-one patients with SSc were compared with matched controls by age, gender, body mass index, and apnea-hypopnea index (AHI). Sleep measurements were obtained by standard polysomnography with conventional sleep scoring. A CAP analysis was performed and verified by certified somnologists. The sleep parameters of the SSc and control groups were similar for sleep efficiency, sleep stage percents N1, N2, N3, sleep latency, and minimum oxygen saturation (p = 0.627, p = 0.693, p = 0.530, p = 0.736, p = 0.772, and p = 0.693, respectively). The SSc patients presented a higher arousal and periodic limb movement index. The CAP analyses showed that SSc patients had higher CAP numbers, phase A2 index, A3 duration, and lower A1 duration (p = 0.032, p = 0.016, p = 0.016, and p = 0.016, respectively). Overall the phase A2 index, A2 total time during non-REM sleep were significantly higher and the A1 duration was significantly lower in SSc patients, although sleep efficiency and the distribution of sleep macro-structure seem to be similar to the control group. This study emphasises that microstructure analysis performed with CAP provides information that would otherwise be lost if only macrostructure analysis were considered.","PeriodicalId":17057,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sleep Research","volume":" ","pages":"e14472"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143122985","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, their dynamics and association with sleep architecture and events remain unclear. While generalised linear models (GLM) have captured sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) dynamics, their application to NAA remains underexplored. This study explored whether changes in sleep architecture contribute to nocturnal arrhythmias and if the impact of sleep stages, SDB, and arousal events on these arrhythmias varies by demographic factors. We analysed 7341 ECG recordings from the multi-ethnic study of atherosclerosis (MESA) and the sleep heart health study (SHHS) datasets. R-R intervals were divided into 10-min periods to detect NAA, defined as a 30% drop from baseline followed by recovery to 90% of baseline. A GLM framework was developed to characterise NAA episodes as functions of SDB, sleep arousal events, sleep stages, and prior NAA episodes. The GLM analysis revealed that NAA occurrence was 18% and 30% higher during non-rapid eye movement (NREM) light sleep compared with deep sleep in SHHS (p < 0.001) and MESA (p < 0.001), respectively. SDB events increased the NAA risk in 34% of participants, and arousals in 29%. In SHHS, the impact of SDB on NAA was 5% greater in men (p = 0.018), while the arousal effects were more pronounced in those over 75, highlighting the role of demographic factors in modulating arrhythmia risk. These findings demonstrate the utility of the GLM framework in modelling the dynamics of nocturnal arrhythmias and their associations with sleep disruptions and architecture.","PeriodicalId":17057,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sleep Research","volume":" ","pages":"e14465"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143122976","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Actigraphy data were used to derive sleep metrics, SRI, and nonparametric rest-activity indices. Adolescents also completed self-report measures of substance use and depression at baseline and at 6-month follow-up. Partial correlations indicated that individuals with more sleep irregularity had less interdaily stability, less robust relative amplitude, lower sleep efficiency, shorter total sleep time, longer sleep onset latency, more social jetlag, and a later sleep midpoint. Regression analyses revealed that sleep irregularity was associated with a lifetime history of substance use, first-onset substance use, and a prospective increase in depressive symptoms, even after accounting for sleep duration and subjective sleep disturbances.

As epileptic activity is present and even augmented during sleep, epilepsy could also influence sleep-related cognitive processes. However, whether epilepsy modulates sleep-related experiences like dreaming remains poorly known. Here, we prospectively investigated the characteristics and determinants of dreaming in patients with epilepsy. Consecutive adult patients with epilepsy and no major cognitive deficit were recruited in an epilepsy outpatient clinic. They completed a questionnaire about their dreams, sleep and epilepsy over the past year. Medical data on epilepsy characteristics were gathered from the medical file. A generalised linear model was used to explore the determinants of dream recall frequency (DRF). We included 300 patients, with a mean (standard deviation [SD]) age of 40.4 (13.4) years and 51.3% female; 28.6% had more than one seizure/month, and 34.7% already had seizures during sleep. Patients recalled dreams on an average of 1.6 (1.5) days/week and 11% had one or more nightmare/week. Younger age, higher number of nocturnal awakenings, and lower seizures frequency predicted a higher DRF. In patients with focal epilepsy (65.3%), the localisation of the epileptic focus in the parieto-occipital area was negatively associated with DRF. Regarding dream content, 34.0% of patients reported having already dreamt about epilepsy. Dreams of seizures were associated with sleep-related seizures (p = 0.034) and dreams of epilepsy were associated with nightmare frequency (p = 0.004). Our results show that patients with epilepsy share several determinants of DRF (age, awakenings, role of the parieto-occipital area) with healthy subjects. In addition, epilepsy-related factors (seizure frequency, focus localisation) also impact DRF. Investigating dreams in patients with epilepsy can provide information on their epilepsy and their sleep.","PeriodicalId":17057,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sleep Research","volume":" ","pages":"e14464"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143074825","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is the current first-line treatment for chronic insomnia disorder. Here, we outline our perspective for the future optimization of psychotherapeutic treatment for insomnia. We identified the following areas as the most promising: first, optimizing efficacy of the CBT-I protocol; second, developing diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for non-responders and partial responders; and third, advancing widespread implementation of psychotherapy for insomnia. More specifically, we outline how the current CBT-I protocol could be optimized through an improved understanding of treatment mechanisms, and discuss the potential of adaptive treatment strategies. Another promising approach for improving the current CBT-I protocol is using add-ons such as physical exercise or circadian-based interventions. Both may be promising in certain subgroups of patients with insomnia. In terms of non-response, we identify acceptance and commitment therapy for insomnia (ACT-I) as a promising treatment for non-responders to CBT-I. ACT-I, however, still needs to be evaluated in actual non-responders to CBT-I. Implementing CBT-I in clinical practice is still one of the major challenges at hand. We outline how brief treatment, targeted treatment for challenging patient groups, and digital treatment may help improve implementation. For a future research agenda, we suggest that further research into treatment mechanisms, randomized-controlled trials in non-responders to CBT-I, and a focus on implementation science have a potential to bring the field forward.","PeriodicalId":17057,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sleep Research","volume":" ","pages":"e14470"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143074828","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigates the extent to which pre-sleep worrying predicts positive/negative affect the following day, and whether subjective/objective sleep disturbances are possible mediators for this relationship.

The hypotheses were tested at both the between- and within-subject level using causal mediation analysis. The within-subject analyses revealed partial mediation of the relationship between pre-sleep worrying and positive as well as negative affect the next day by subjective sleep quality. By contrast, sleep as measured by actigraphy appears not to be relevant for the link between pre-sleep worrying and affective wellbeing the following day. Baseline levels of depressive symptoms and sleep disturbances did not moderate the associations between pre-sleep worrying, sleep indices and affective states the following day.

The effects of the stimulation were assessed using a Psychomotor Vigilance Task performed immediately upon waking, along with the analysis of salivary cortisol and melatonin levels, as well as subjective arousal ratings based on the Karolinska Sleepiness Scale and the Stanford Sleepiness Scale. The results indicated that vibration stimulation at +3% of the heart rate frequency improved Psychomotor Vigilance Task reaction times and increased self-reported arousal scores, thus reducing sleep inertia compared with the control condition without stimulation. Additionally, salivary melatonin levels were lower immediately after waking. These findings suggest that closed-loop vibration stimulation at +3% of the heart rate frequency before waking could be an effective method to reduce sleep inertia.

Measures included demographics, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Patient Health Questionnaire for depression, and Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item. In a study involving 2071 hospital residents across Syria's major hospitals, significant findings reveal a high prevalence of poor sleep quality (67.7%), depressive symptoms (46%) and anxiety symptoms (42.2%). Analysis by hospital categories highlighted varied rates, with Damascus and Hama General Hospitals showing notably higher incidences. Females exhibited higher rates of depressive and anxiety symptoms compared with males, with predictors including gender, age and marital status.
