Sleep actigraphy results and HIV health outcomes in an urban HIV clinic sample.

Sleep disorders are prevalent and interfering conditions that affect people living with HIV (PLWH) at higher rates than the general population. Lower quality sleep has been associated with poorer health-related quality of life and immune function in PWH, though sleep is typically assessed subjectively. The current study aimed to examine the association between objective sleep/wake patterns measured via actigraphy with HIV outcomes.

Examining the Longitudinal Effects of Insomnia on Depression and Medication Adherence in People Living with HIV.

Objective: The management of HIV has shifted from a focus solely on the disease to a broader perspective encompassing co-occurring medical conditions and quality of life. Mental health concerns such as depression and sleep disturbances, particularly insomnia, are often overlooked in HIV care. The aim of the study was to investigate the longitudinal impact of insomnia on depression and medication adherence among (PLWH).

What a difference a year makes: Objective rest/activity patterns, circadian phase markers, and sleep quality before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Objectives: The COVID-19 pandemic led to numerous changes in sleep duration, quality, and timing. The goal of this study was to examine objective and self-reported changes in sleep and circadian timing before and during the pandemic.

Methods: Data were utilized from an ongoing longitudinal study of sleep and circadian timing with assessments at baseline and 1-year follow-up.
