The sample was composed by 73 patients with clinically diagnosed PD being followed up at a reference outpatient setting, compared to 73 age- and sex-matched individuals with no PD. The evaluation of symptoms compatible with RBD was performed using the Brazilian version of the RBD Screening Questionnaire (RBDSQ). The prevalence of symptoms compatible with RBD was 65 % for PD and 10.09 % for controls. The RBDSQ score was significantly higher in the PD group (6.03 ± 0.35) in comparison to the control group (2.38 ± 0.23). The odds ratio for presenting previous RBD-compatible symptoms was 12.09 in favor of positive PD cases.

In conclusion, the proportion of PD patients showing RBD symptoms is high, corroborating the expected neuroprogression of the disease on a case-control design comprising outpatient PD cases.

In this experimental study, we aimed to investigate the influence of pre-sleep social media use on memory consolidation, subjective arousal and objectively assessed sleep quality in adolescents. We compared the social media condition to two reading conditions, one involving reading a book on a smartphone and the other reading from a physical book in a within-subjects design. Twenty participants between 12 and 14 years engaged in these activities for 45 min before bedtime. Contrary to our expectations, the results indicated that pre-sleep social media use did not have a discernible impact on sleep quality, pre-sleep arousal or memory consolidation. All assessed sleep measures remained consistent across the three conditions. Subjectively, the social media condition was rated less thrilling than the reading conditions. This suggests that, within the confines of this experiment, pre-sleep social media exposure did not significantly disrupt adolescents' sleep or their ability to consolidate memories during sleep. This deviation from previous correlational studies might be explained by a possible impact of mental health factors on media consumption and sleep or the fact that contrary to their daily routines participants had to sleep after our intervention and could not continue to engage in their activities.
