A large number of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) experience nocturnal problems that impair their sleep quality. Among them, motor disorders such as tremor, rigidity, akinesia, akathisia, periodic leg movements, painful dystonia, dyskinesias, restless legs syndrome, and rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder are common.

Background/objectives: Insomnia is a significant public health problem affecting a large population. Although previous research has explored the relationship between specific nutrients and insomnia, comprehensive analyses of daily eating patterns of macro- and micronutrients remain limited. Since nocturnal hypertension is related to sodium/potassium intake and sleep disturbances, the present cross-sectional study hypothesized that daily eating patterns of potassium and sodium would be associated with Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS) scores.

This study examines the extent to which functional limitations and poor HRQoL serially explain the link between sleep problems and chronic conditions among single parents in Ghana.
Methods: Data on 627 single mothers and fathers were obtained through a multi-stage stratified sampling technique.

Introduction: Nocturnal enuresis is a very common and socially distressing condition among children. There are qualitative studies published in children with bowel and bladder problems with a focus on health-related quality of life and the burden of the condition, but there is a lack of knowledge of the experience of managing the treatment procedures at home. From a clinical viewpoint, it can be assumed that the procedures entail a lot of work and have an impact on everyday life apart from the disorders per se, but the actual voices of the children have not been heard.
