Perceived stress mediates the longitudinal effect of sleep quality on internalizing symptoms.

Background: Numerous studies have explored the relationship between sleep quality and internalizing symptoms (i.e., depression and anxiety), but there is uncertainty about their directional pathways.

What you believe is what you get? A systematic review examining how beliefs and attitudes about sleep are associated with sleep duration in non-clinical samples.

A burgeoning area of research is investigating whether beliefs and attitudes about sleep are associated with sleep duration in individuals without clinical conditions (e.g., insomnia, depression, anxiety, chronic pain).

Drowsy driving prevalence and beliefs among a nationally representative US sample: A report from the National Sleep Foundation.

Objectives: Drowsy driving is a preventable form of impaired driving, represents a large public health concern, and accounts for a significant proportion of motor vehicle crashes, injuries, and deaths. There is a limited body of research documenting the prevalence and frequency of drowsy driving, alongside the public's perceptions and attitudes surrounding drowsy driving. The overarching goal of the present study was to document the prevalence, frequency, perceptions, attitudes, and associated sleep behaviors and beliefs related to drowsy driving.

The effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia on sleep outcomes in the context of pain among older adult veterans.

Background: Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is the gold-standard treatment for insomnia disorder in adults. Compared to young adults, older adults have increased risk for the development of conditions associated with chronic pain, which may impact the efficacy of CBT-I in improving insomnia symptoms in older adults. This study evaluated the effect of participant-rated pain on sleep-related outcomes of a supervised, non-clinician administered CBT-I program in older adult patients with chronic insomnia disorder.

Insomnia symptoms and neurofunctional correlates among adults receiving buprenorphine for opioid use disorder.

Objectives: Insomnia symptoms are negatively related to opioid use disorder (OUD) treatment outcomes, possibly reflecting the influence of sleep on neurofunctional domains implicated in addiction. Moreover, the intersection between OUD recovery and sleep represents an area well-suited for the development of novel, personalized treatment strategies. This study assessed the prevalence of clinically significant insomnia symptoms and characterized its neurofunctional correlates among a clinical sample of adults with OUD receiving buprenorphine.

Move your feet and sleep: A longitudinal dynamic analysis of self-reported exercise, sedentary behavior, and insomnia symptoms.

Introduction: Insomnia symptoms are associated with poor physical and mental health. Exercise is associated with good sleep while sedentary behavior is associated with poor sleep. This study investigated the longitudinal, dynamic associations among exercise, sedentary behavior, and insomnia symptoms.

Pain in your day? Get sleep treatment anyway! The role of pain in insomnia treatment efficacy in women veterans.

Insomnia and pain disorders are among the most common conditions affecting United States adults and veterans, and their comorbidity can cause detrimental effects to quality of life among other factors. Cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia and related behavioural therapies are recommended treatments for insomnia, but chronic pain may hinder treatment benefit. Prior research has not addressed how pain impacts the effects of behavioural insomnia treatment in United States women veterans.

A non-inferiority randomized controlled trial comparing behavioral sleep interventions in women veterans: An examination of pain outcomes.

Objective: Insomnia is known to exacerbate pain symptoms. The purpose of the present study was to compare the secondary effects of cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBTI) against a novel treatment for insomnia called acceptance and behavioral changes for insomnia (ABC-I) among individuals with comorbid pain. Differences in the potential mechanisms through which these treatments impact pain were also examined.

Challenging beliefs for quality sleep: A systematic review of maladaptive sleep beliefs and treatment outcomes following cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia.

Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is an empirically supported intervention for insomnia. Given the strong, consistent support of its efficacy, scholars have become increasingly interested in the behavioral and cognitive mechanisms targeted during CBT-I. The purpose of the systematic review was to synthesize findings from the literature regarding the associations among maladaptive sleep beliefs, a cognitive mechanism implicated in maintaining insomnia, and treatment outcomes following CBT-I.

Patient reported preferences for sleep interventions among women receiving buprenorphine for opioid use disorder.

Aim: Among individuals receiving medication for OUD (MOUD), insomnia is highly prevalent and increases the risk for negative OUD outcomes. However, little is known about MOUD patient-reported preferences for insomnia treatments among women with OUD. This mixed-methods study explored acceptability of and patient preferences for sleep interventions among women in OUD treatment.

Sleep health and aging: Recommendations for promoting healthy sleep among older adults: A National Sleep Foundation report.

Objectives: Sleep is a key health indicator in older adults; however, many older adults may experience less than ideal levels of sleep health. The objective of this report is to summarize the proceedings of the National Sleep Foundation's Sleep Health and Aging Conference.

Methods: The National Sleep Foundation held a Sleep Health and Aging Conference with sleep scientists and stakeholders in the field of aging.

Sleep and Depression in Older Adults: A Narrative Review.

Purpose Of Review: The sleep-depression association has been recognized for decades. Efforts to clarify this association continue at an increasing pace. This review summarizes recent research on the sleep-depression association in older adults.

Race as a Potential Moderator of the Association between Dysfunctional Beliefs about Sleep and Global Sleep Health.

Objectives: Dysfunctional beliefs about sleep are associated with components of sleep health, but their association with global sleep health is understudied. Beliefs about sleep may systematically vary by race, which may influence the association between dysfunctional beliefs about sleep and global sleep health. This study aimed to investigate whether race influences the association between dysfunctional beliefs about sleep and global sleep health.

The RU_SATED as a measure of sleep health: cross-cultural adaptation and validation in Chinese healthcare students.

Background: The RU_SATED scale is a multidimensional instrument measuring sleep health, consisting of Regularity, Satisfaction, Alertness, Timing, Efficiency, Duration dimensions. We adapted and validated the Chinese RU_SATED (RU_SATED-C) scale.

Methods: The RU_SATED-C scale was developed through a formal linguistic validation process and was validated in an observational longitudinal survey design.
