Objective: To identify and quantify the burden of chronic sleep maintenance insomnia characterized by nighttime awakenings (CINA) among depression and anxiety sufferers.
Method: Data were obtained from the 2006 US National Health and Wellness Survey, an annual cross-sectional study of US adults. Analyses were limited to respondents diagnosed with depression or anxiety. The term CINA was defined as experiencing nighttime awakenings, without difficulty falling asleep, at least twice per week for more than 1 month that have moderate-severe impact on daily life. Outcomes included resource utilization in past 6 months, the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment questionnaire, and the Medical Outcomes Study 8-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-8). Independent effects of CINA on outcomes adjusting for demographics and comorbidity were assessed using linear regression models.
Results: Among depression sufferers, 643 experienced CINA and 1,675 experienced no insomnia. Among anxiety sufferers, 476 experienced CINA and 1,356 experienced no insomnia. Adjusting for demographics and comorbidity, depression sufferers with CINA had 2.4 more provider visits, 13.2% greater work impairment (among full-time employed), 18.2% greater activity impairment, and SF-8 physical and mental summary scores that were 4.8 and 6.7 points lower than noninsomnia sufferers (P < .001 for all). Anxiety sufferers with CINA had 3.0 more provider visits, 15.8% greater work impairment (among full-time employed), 20.4% greater activity impairment, and SF-8 physical and mental summary scores that were 5.4 and 7.6 points lower than noninsomnia sufferers (P < .001 for all).
Conclusions: Among depression and anxiety sufferers, CINA in relative isolation was associated with a significant negative impact on health care utilization and its associated costs, health-related quality of life, and work productivity.

Department of Pediatrics, Hasbro Children's Hospital, Providence, Rhode Island, USA.
Objectives: To examine the extent to which asthma symptom concordance (ASC) or discordance (ASD) is associated with sleep outcomes in children with persistent asthma. Also, to investigate whether the association between ASC and sleep outcomes varies as a function of children's level of asthma control and severity.
Methods: A retrospective data analysis of Project NAPS (Nocturnal Asthma and Performance in School), an observational study which examined asthma and sleep outcomes in children with persistent asthma.

Introduction Night eating syndrome (NES) is categorized as an eating disorder characterized by a delayed circadian rhythm of food intake and involves evening hyperphagia and/or nighttime awakening and food consumption two or more times per week. Young adults showed a higher prevalence of night eating, and students who reported high stress, irregular sleep patterns, and disordered eating may be more likely to develop NES symptoms. Objective This study aimed to assess the prevalence of Night Eating Syndrome among college students in Chengalpattu district of Tamil Nadu (India) and to find out the association between NES and socio-demographic variables and depression among the students.

Crying in infancy is an important emotional signal that elicits care from adults, and women are often assumed to be more sensitive and reactive to infant crying than men. In a series of studies, we tested whether preparenthood gender differences in sensitivity to infant cries are a potential driver of the unequal share of early parenting. In Study 1, we tested for differences in men and women's awakening to infant crying and alarms among nonparents in an overnight experiment ( = 142).
