This study addresses the paucity of research on how individual, social, and physical environmental factors impact sleep health during and after incarceration by highlighting the voices of people involved in the criminal legal system through a community-engaged qualitative research approach. We conducted 20 semi-structured interviews with men recently released from prison for a study on trauma and healthcare during incarceration and after release. Interviews were coded and analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis and a critical realist framework. Our research team included people with a history of incarceration who performed central roles in the research process. Three themes emerged from participants’ descriptions of sleep during and after incarceration: (1) concerns about health contributing to sleep problems, (2) lack of access to treatment for sleep disorders leading to ongoing sleep problems, and (3) issues of safety contributing to sleep problems during incarceration and after release. This study identifies factors and domains influencing sleep during and after incarceration. By identifying which interpersonal, environmental, and structural factors impact sleep quality, medical and carceral staff are better equipped to ameliorate sleep health disparities within populations with a history of incarceration and those actively bound by the criminal legal system. Future research should examine other factors impacting sleep in incarcerated and recently released populations and develop multi-level interventions to improve sleep health.","PeriodicalId":21861,"journal":{"name":"SLEEP Advances","volume":"48 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139153692","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}

However, it does not use electroencephalography (EEG), and therefore cannot estimate sleep time or score arousals and related hypopneas. Consequently, the PG-derived respiratory event index (REI) differs from the polysomnography (PSG) derived apnea-hypopnea index (AHI). In this study, we comprehensively analyzed the differences between AHI and REI. Conventional AHI and REI were calculated based on total sleep time (TST) and total analyzed time (TAT), respectively, from two different PSG datasets (N=1561). Moreover, TAT-based AHI (AHITAT) and TST-based REI (REITST) were calculated. These indices were compared keeping AHI as the gold standard. The REI, AHITAT, and REITST were significantly lower than AHI (p<0.0001, p≤0.002, p≤0.01, respectively). The total classification accuracy of OSA severity based on REI was 42.1% and 72.8% for two datasets. Based on AHITAT the accuracies were 68.4% and 85.9%, and based on REITST they were 65.9% and 88.5% compared to AHI. AHI was most correlated with REITST (r=0.98 and r=0.99 for the datasets) and least with REI (r=0.92 and r=0.97). Compared to AHI, REI had the largest mean absolute error (13.9 and 6.7) and REITST the lowest (5.9 and 1.9). REI had the lowest sensitivity (42.1% and 72.8%) and specificity (80.7% and 90.9%) in both datasets. Based on these present results, REI underestimates AHI. Furthermore, these results indicate that arousal-related hypopneas are an important measure for accurately classifying OSA.","PeriodicalId":21861,"journal":{"name":"SLEEP Advances","volume":"42 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139164431","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}

Prior research has mainly focused on specific proteins or biological pathways that are dysregulated in the setting of sustained wakefulness. This exploratory study aimed to provide a comprehensive view of the biological processes and proteins impacted by acute sleep deprivation in both plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Methods We collected plasma and CSF from human participants during one night of sleep deprivation and control normal sleep conditions. 1300 proteins were measured at hour 0 and hour 24 using a high-scale aptamer-based proteomics platform (SOMAscan) and a systematic biological database tool (Metascape) was used to reveal altered biological pathways. Results Acute sleep deprivation decreased the number of upregulated and downregulated biological pathways and proteins in plasma but increased upregulated and downregulated biological pathways and proteins in CSF. Predominantly affected proteins and pathways were associated with immune response, inflammation, phosphorylation, membrane signaling, cell-cell adhesion, and extracellular matrix organization. Conclusions The identified modifications across biofluids adds to evidence that acute sleep deprivation has important impacts on biological pathways and proteins that can negatively affect human health. As a hypothesis-driving study, these findings may help with the exploration of novel mechanisms that mediate sleep loss and associated conditions, drive the discovery of new sleep loss biomarkers, and ultimately aid in the identification of new targets for intervention to human diseases.","PeriodicalId":21861,"journal":{"name":"SLEEP Advances","volume":"4 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134991479","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}

Given that the Wnt signaling pathway is highly conserved across species, we hypothesized that frizzled class receptor 1 (Fzd1), the murine homolog of frizzled, would also have a role in sleep. Using a CRISPR transgenic approach, we removed most of the Fzd1 coding region from C57BL/6N mice. We used a video assay to measure sleep characteristics in Fzd1-deficient mice. As Wnt signaling is known to affect visuospatial memory, we also examined the impact of the deletion on learning and memory using the Novel Object Recognition (NOR) paradigm. Fzd1-deficient mice had altered sleep compared to littermate controls. The mice did not respond differently to the NOR paradigm compared to controls but did display anxiety-like behavior. Our strategy demonstrates that the study of natural variation in Drosophila sleep translates into candidate genes for sleep in vertebrate species such as the mouse.","PeriodicalId":21861,"journal":{"name":"SLEEP Advances","volume":"21 14","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135086521","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}

Existing screening tools for OSA do not account for the interaction of cancer-related features that may increase OSA risk. Study Design and Methods This is a retrospective study of cancer patients at a single tertiary cancer institution who underwent home sleep apnea test (HSAT) to evaluate for OSA. Unsupervised machine learning (ML) was used to reduce the dimensions and extract significant features associated with OSA. ML classifiers were applied to principal components and model hyperparameters were optimized using k-fold cross validation. Training models for OSA were subsequently tested and compared with the STOP-Bang questionnaire on a prospective unseen test set of patients who underwent an HSAT. Results From a training dataset of 249 patients, kernel principal component analysis extracted 8 components through dimension reduction to explain the maximum variance with OSA at 98%. Predictors of OSA were smoking, asthma, chronic kidney disease, STOP-Bang score, race, diabetes, radiation to head/neck/thorax (RT-HNT), type of cancer, and cancer metastases. Of the ML models, PCA+RF had the highest sensitivity (96.8%), specificity (92.3%), negative predictive value (92%), F1 score (0.93), and ROC-AUC score (0.88). The PCA+RF screening algorithm also performed better than the STOP-Bang questionnaire alone when tested on a prospective unseen test set.

To increase engagement in sleep, diet and PA, it is critical to first understand which of these behaviours Australians currently prioritise and whether this prioritisation relates to actual behaviour. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate how Australians prioritise sleep, diet and PA. Methods A cohort of 1151 Australian adults (54% female, aged 18-65 years) completed a phone interview, and a cohort of 588 Australian shiftwork-only adults (76% female, 18-72 years) completed an online survey. All participants were asked which health behaviour (sleep, diet or PA) they prioritised. Behavioural correlates of sleep, diet, and PA, and questions on shiftwork experience were also collected. Results Diet was prioritised by the adults (49%), whereas sleep was prioritised by the shiftwork-only sample (68%). Multinomial logistic regressions revealed that adults who prioritised diet were significantly more likely to report less fast-food consumption (p&lt;0.002) and more fruit consumption (p&lt;0.002) compared to those that prioritised sleep. For the shiftwork-only sample, those with 16-30 years of shiftwork experience were significantly more likely to prioritise sleep compared to diet (p&lt;0.05). Conclusions While prioritising diet was associated with healthier diet behaviour in Australian adults, overall, across both cohorts, behaviour prioritisation did not relate to actual behaviour. This suggests that there are factors other than behaviour prioritisation that influence engagement in healthy behaviours. These factors, such as workplace barriers, should be the focus of future research.","PeriodicalId":21861,"journal":{"name":"SLEEP Advances","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136052641","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}

Methods Children with DS and SDB (n=44) and TD children matched for age, sex and SDB severity underwent overnight polysomnography. Fast or Slow sleep spindles were identified manually during N2 and N3 sleep.

Sleep disorders are linked to chronic illnesses which are a leading cause of premature mortality. The aim of this review was to identify, appraise and synthesise evidence from longitudinal observational studies to clarify childhood and adolescence risk factors associated with sleep disorders in adulthood. Method Four databases (Web of Science, Medline, SCOPUS, and PSYCINFO) were searched using predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria for studies which were longitudinal, including at least one risk factor measured before 18 years of age, and an assessment of sleep problems or disorders in adulthood. This study was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42022301342). Result A total of 13,712 studies were screened, with 51 studies meeting criteria for data extraction. Sleep problems in childhood (n=9), childhood mental health (n=7), family environment (n= 2), adverse childhood experience (n=5), and lifestyle factors (n=9) were reported to be associated with sleep problems in adulthood. However most studies (n=30) only considered one or two measurements time points in childhood or adolescence as a predictor of adult sleep problems, and the age of sleep problem measurement in adulthood varied considerably (18 – 42 years). Further, heterogeneous sleep outcomes were reported across the studies, making quantitative synthesis of the data extremely challenging.
