We assessed the feasibility of a treatment pathway for insomnia in a high-secure prison to inform a future randomised controlled trial (RCT) and initial efficacy data for sleep and mental health outcomes. We used a within-subjects pre-post design. The stepped-care pathway included: self-management with peer support, environmental aids, and cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBTi). Assessment measures for insomnia, wellbeing, mood, anxiety, suicidality, overall health, sleepiness, fatigue, and cognitive functioning were administered at baseline and pathway exit. Feasibility criteria included eligibility to participate, CBTi uptake and assessment completion. Forty-two adult males who are incarcerated were approached of which 95.2% were eligible. Of those deemed eligible, most participated (36/40, 90.0%). Most who completed baseline completed post-assessments (28/36, 77.8%) and of these, most showed improvements in their subjective sleep (27/28, 96.4%). Large reductions were found from pre- to post-treatment in insomnia severity (d=-1.81, 95% CIs 8.3 to 12.9) and 57.0% reported no clinically significant insomnia symptoms at post-assessment. There was no overall change in actigraphy-measured sleep. Large treatment benefits were found for depression, anxiety, wellbeing, and cognitive functioning, with a medium benefit on suicidal ideation.

HRW increased sleep consolidation in undisturbed mice and increased non-rapid eye movement (NREM) and rapid-eye movement (REM) sleep amount in sleep-deprived mice. HRW also decreased the average amount of time for mice to fall asleep after light onset. Neuronal activation in the lateral septum, medial septum, ventrolateral preoptic area, and median preoptic area was significantly altered in all mice treated with HRW.

More than 47% retain >10 lbs at 1-year postpartum, which is associated with adverse health outcomes for mother and child. Disturbed sleep may contribute to risk of postpartum weight retention (PWR) as short sleep duration is associated with increased risk of obesity. Thus, we investigated whether night-time sleep duration is associated with risk for excessive PWR. We also explored night-time sleep duration and change in postpartum waist circumference. This is an ancillary analysis from a prospective cohort study. Participants were healthy primiparous adults with a singleton birth. Excessive PWR at 1-year postpartum was defined as ≥7% of pre-pregnancy weight. Log-binomial and linear regression assessed associations between night-time sleep duration at 6 months postpartum and PWR at 1-year postpartum. Linear regression assessed association between night-time sleep duration and change in postpartum waist circumference. Mean age of participants (N=467) was 29.51 (SD±4.78) years. Night-time sleep duration by actigraphy or self-report was not associated with risk for excessive PWR (Risk Ratio 0.96, [95%CI 0.87-1.06]; Risk Ratio 0.95 [95%CI 0.83-1.07], respectively) or change in waist circumference. Night-time sleep duration at 6 months postpartum was not associated with PWR at 1-year postpartum. Mixed findings among our results and previous research could be due to our focus on night-time sleep, and differences in sleep measurement methods and timeframes across studies. More comprehensively assessing sleep, including multiple sleep dimensions, may help advance our understanding of potential links between sleep and PWR.","PeriodicalId":21861,"journal":{"name":"SLEEP Advances","volume":"58 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139153166","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
