Here, we review diverse case-studies, including elephant matriarchs, post-partum cetaceans, seawater sleeping fur seals, soaring seabirds, birds breeding in the high Arctic, captive cavefish, and sexually aroused fruit flies. We evaluate the likelihood of mechanisms that might allow more sleep than is presently appreciated. But even then, it appears these species are indeed performing well on little sleep. The costs, if any, remain unclear. Either these species have evolved a (yet undescribed) ability to supplant sleep needs, or they endure a (yet undescribed) cost.

It is unclear whether OSA symptom subtypes independently predict incident major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). Method Consecutive patients attending a tertiary sleep clinic from 2006 to 2010 were prospectively investigated and linked to administrative health data. Data from 1,767 patients with severe OSA (apnoea-hypopnoea index ≥30 events/hour) were used in latent class analysis to identify symptom subtypes. Associations between symptom subtypes and incident MACE were assessed using Cox proportional hazards models, with adjustment for known cardiovascular risk factors. Results On average, patients were middle-aged (mean± SD 52.5±13.2 years), obese (BMI, 35.4±7.9 kg/m²), and male (71.7%). Four symptom subtypes were identified: high symptom burden: severe sleepiness (26.0%), high symptom burden: sleep onset insomnia (34.8%), moderate symptom burden (18.4%), and minimal symptoms (20.7%). Over a median follow-up of 7 years, 330 (18.7%) patients developed MACE. After adjustment for covariates, the high symptom burden: sleep onset insomnia subtype was associated with increased risk for MACE relative to those with moderate (HR, 1.59; 95%CI, 1.12–2.25; P=0.010) or minimal (HR, 1.47; 95%CI, 1.07–2.03; P=0.018) symptom burden. Discussion Distinct symptom subtypes can be identified among severe OSA patients. In symptomatic patients, those with a high prevalence of sleep onset insomnia were at increased risk of MACE, relative to those with moderate or minimal symptom burden. Our findings suggest that symptom subtypes may be clinically relevant in risk stratification for MACE in severe OSA.","PeriodicalId":74808,"journal":{"name":"Sleep advances : a journal of the Sleep Research Society","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75261047","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}

Many use substances for their sedative effect or experience insomnia as a consequence of substance use, insomnia is a common feature of withdrawal and often linked to relapse. In this study, a community-based AOD service is piloting a stepped-care intervention for insomnia. Nine AOD clinicians underwent CBT-I training to deliver a 3-step intervention: (1) a 60-minute information session, (2) A guided self-help booklet + ≤ 3 sessions with an AOD clinician, and (3) an 8-week CBT-I Group. The primary outcome is the insomnia severity index (ISI) and secondary outcomes relate to mental health and substance use. Focus groups and online questionnaires are being used to evaluate its implementation. This presentation will outline how a stepped-care model for sleep treatment was integrated within an AOD setting and discuss the available evidence on its effectiveness, feasibility and acceptability. Of the 299 enrolled to date (M=57.4 years ±14.3yrs; 74.6% women), initial findings show significant improvements in ISI scores after Step 1 (17.5 to 15.6; P < 0.01) (d = 0.33), and 54% of eligible participants have moved into Step 2. So far, participant engagement and retention rates suggest good feasibility. Clinicians report high levels of satisfaction with the program, perceiving that it addresses an otherwise inconsistently met need, and enjoy the contrast in work to their usual role. Barriers to delivering the program include limited time and resources. Findings demonstrate this stepped-care program has the potential to improve outcomes and enhance recovery in AOD settings.","PeriodicalId":74808,"journal":{"name":"Sleep advances : a journal of the Sleep Research Society","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74700347","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}

Our previous research has shown the capacity of the circadian system to adapt to seasonal variations in the light-dark cycle at latitude ~40oN in the Rocky Mountains following curtailment of artificial light exposure. In the current study, we examined the circadian response to a longer photoperiod in summer by measuring melatonin timing before and after a week of camping outdoors in Sweden. Actigraphy-derived (Actiwatch Spectrum) assessments of sleep, activity and light exposure were carried out for 2 weeks. Week 1 was under modern urban living conditions with exposure to natural and artificial light in Stockholm, Sweden (~59oN; 18 hr 37 min: 5 hr 23 min light-dark cycle). Week 2 was spent rough camping in nature with exposure to only natural light at the Swedish High Coast (~63oN; 20 hr 40 min: 3 hr 20 min). Dim-light melatonin onset (DLMO) assessments were conducted in laboratory over two 24 hr periods immediately before and after camping to assess melatonin levels in hourly saliva samples. On average, participants’ (n = 10) melatonin midpoint and offset advanced ~0.7 and ~1.3 hr (p < 0.01), respectively, with no change in onset (p = 0.45). As sleep duration, and timing were similar between environments (p > 10), melatonin offset occurred closer to sleep offset after camping. Consistent with prior findings, the end of biological night is timed closer to waketime in the natural environment.","PeriodicalId":74808,"journal":{"name":"Sleep advances : a journal of the Sleep Research Society","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76484417","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}

This study investigated associations between SWSD and clinical characteristics in older adults with sleep maintenance insomnia before and after Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBTi). Method Seventy-three adults (female=53%, mean age=63.2, SD=6.3) were recruited. Participants completed sleep diaries and wore actigraphy for one week, as well as questionnaires related to sleep quality and daytime functioning immediately before and after CBTi. SWSD was calculated as the difference between subjective (sleep diary reported) and objective (actigraphy derived) total sleep time (TST) at pre- and post-treatment. Results Before treatment, SWSD was not associated with age or any clinical variables, ps > .05. Following treatment, SWSD significantly reduced (p<.001), despite no improvement in objective TST, and was significantly associated with improvements in insomnia severity (r=-.57), fatigue (r=-.26), sleep self-efficacy (r=.33), and beliefs about sleep (r=-.38), ps < .05. Discussion These findings suggest SWSD does not correlate with any other routinely-measured clinical characteristic prior to treatment. Given the associations with treatment outcomes, the need to incorporate objective measures, in conjunction with sleep diary assessments, to determine the degree of discrepancy and therapeutically address using CBTi is warranted. Following treatment, the reduction in discrepancy was driven by sleep diary reported TST that more closely matched objective TST, which remained relatively unchanged from pre-treatment. This has important implications for CBTi and suggests improvements in the accuracy of perceived sleep is a major therapeutic mechanism.","PeriodicalId":74808,"journal":{"name":"Sleep advances : a journal of the Sleep Research Society","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79999816","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}
