We developed a Brazilian-Portuguese version of the Dysfunctional Beliefs and Attitudes about Sleep Scale (DBAS-16) and conducted a comprehensive psychometric evaluation using latent variable and psychometric network frameworks.Method: Participants (N = 1,3851,386) were between 18 and 59 years old, with and without insomnia complaints. We used Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) with dynamic fit indices to evaluate the original DBAS-16 structure and tested longitudinal invariance (14 days) and invariance across good and bad sleepers. We applied Unique Variable Analysis (UVA) and Exploratory Graph Analysis (EGA) to a derivation subsample (n = 693), with the remaining half reserved for cross-validation.Results: The original structure was replicated with moderate fit. We found support for longitudinal but not cross-group metric invariance. UVA identified three redundant items for exclusion (1. Need 8 h of sleep, 3. Consequences of insomnia on health, and 15. Medication as a solution). EGA identified two highly stable dimensions, replicated in the cross-validation subsample.Conclusion: The EGA model fit significantly better than the theoretical model, endorsing an alternative DBAS dimensionality. After excluding locally dependent variables, two dimensions may better represent dysfunctional beliefs and attitudes about sleep.","PeriodicalId":55393,"journal":{"name":"Behavioral Sleep Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"1-20"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148632868","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}

Although opioid therapy is commonly prescribed for widespread pain, it offers questionable long-term benefit and is associated with arrhythmias, overdose, and death. The Cognitive Activation Theory of Stress (CATS) suggests poor sleep and arousal lead to critical changes in brain activation that increase pain severity and lead to opioid use. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) improves sleep and holds promise for improving arousal, abnormal brain activation, and pain in individuals with comorbid chronic pain and insomnia, but does not reduce opioid use. Because CBT-I improves each mediator hypothesized to contribute to opioid use, it warrants evaluation as a neoadjuvant to opioid tapering. This trial tests whether improving sleep and decreasing arousal can normalize brain activation and decrease pain prior to gradual opioid tapering, facilitating reduced opioid use.Methods & analysis: 165 adults with comorbid chronic widespread pain and chronic insomnia who use prescription opioids will be recruited from Tampa, Florida, and surrounding areas, and randomized to CBT-I or Sleep Hygiene and Related Education (SHARE). Following intervention, they will undergo gradual opioid tapering. Two booster sessions will be administered after intervention and withdrawal, but before the 6-month follow-up. Compared with SHARE, CBT‑I is expected to improve insomnia severity, reduce physiological and subjective arousal, reduce pain intensity, and normalize pain‑related brain activation (i.e. reduced BOLD responses to painful stimuli in the Right Insula, Left Inferior Frontal Gyrus, and Right Lentiform Nucleus) and altered functional connectivity, at post‑treatment and 6‑ month follow‑up.","PeriodicalId":55393,"journal":{"name":"Behavioral Sleep Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"1-18"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148609835","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}

Although positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy is the gold standard treatment, sustained patient use remains a challenge. The aim of this study was to synthesize evidence on direct associations between demographic and socioeconomic indicators with PAP therapy in adults with OSA.Methods: A scoping review following PRISMA-ScR protocol was conducted. PubMed, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and Cochrane databases were searched for publications between 1990 and February 2026 with key words associated with OSA, PAP use, and demographic (age, gender), and socioeconomic (education, employment status, occupational prestige, income and neighborhood advantage) indicators. Data were extracted on study design, follow-up, sample characteristics, PAP use definitions and measurement, and direct association results. Findings were summarized graphically and synthesized narratively.Results: The majority of evidence suggested no direct association of PAP therapy use with age, gender, or education. There was limited evidence available for other SES indicators.Conclusions: Findings suggest that demographic characteristics alone may not be key determinants of PAP use. Future studies could further explore SES associations with PAP therapy use or move beyond examining direct associations to consider other types of associations e.g. moderating or interactive effects.Protocol registration: Open Science Framework (DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/B9RT5).","PeriodicalId":55393,"journal":{"name":"Behavioral Sleep Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"1-15"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148431559","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}

Perceived stress was assessed using the 10-item Perceived Stress Scale, and sleep quality was measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Blood pressure was measured three times and averaged to calculate mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Structural equation modeling was used to test mediation, adjusting for age, body mass index, and antihypertensive medication use.Results: Among 158 women (mean age 63.0 ± 6.7 years), 57.6% were taking antihypertensive medications, mean systolic blood pressure was 129.5 ± 15.4 mmHg, and mean PSQI score was 7.6 ± 3.5, indicating poor sleep quality. Perceived stress was associated with poorer sleep quality (b = 0.21, p < .001), and poorer sleep quality was related to higher systolic blood pressure (b = 0.81, p = .037). Sleep quality significantly mediated the effect of stress on systolic blood pressure (b = 0.17, p = .049), with no direct effect observed (b = 0.10, p = .594).Conclusion: Sleep quality mediated the relationship between perceived stress and systolic blood pressure in older AAW. These findings support the role of sleep as a behavioral mechanism linking stress to cardiometabolic risk and suggest the importance of developing culturally tailored sleep interventions to mitigate the adverse cardiometabolic effects of stress in this high-risk population.","PeriodicalId":55393,"journal":{"name":"Behavioral Sleep Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13404136/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148378178","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While sleep can be measured using objective methods like polysomnography and actigraphy, these techniques lack the subjective perspective that is provided by self-report tools. This study investigated the effects of self-reported sleep quality and age on EFs in typically developing children aged 7 to 12 years.Methods: One hundred and seventy children completed working memory (WM), inhibitory control (IC), and cognitive flexibility (CF) tasks to measure EF performance. Sleep quality was assessed via the Children's Report of Sleep Patterns, which captured sleep duration and subjective experiences.Results: Significant associations between age and EF across most EF components, reflected developmental trends. Sleep quality was significantly associated with IC-Performance and CF Shape Errors, meaning that as sleep quality improved, so did EF performance. Sleep was not associated with WM.Conclusion: The findings highlight age-related developmental improvements in EF. These findings suggest that self-reported sleep quality may impact EF tasks requiring attentional control and flexibility.
