Research suggests that in clinical samples, almost 1/2 of children with obstructive sleep apnea have a behavioral sleep problem, and of those, most do not receive behavioral recommendations. This study extends previous research via a longitudinal investigation of the presence and comorbidity of symptoms of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) and behavioral sleep problems in a non-clinical sample. Findings were that the prevalence of symptoms of SDB and behavioral sleep problems at each of the 4 time points was nearly identical, with a peak age of 30 months, and that 25% to 40% of children with symptoms of SDB had behavioral sleep problems. Results suggest that an interdisciplinary approach, including behavioral expertise, is warranted even if the referral concern is solely SDB.

Lithium has long been used as a cornerstone mood stabilizer in the treatment of bipolar disorder (BD). However, reliable biomarkers that can predict which patients will respond better to lithium are still lacking. This study aims to evaluate the potential of NR1D1 gene SNP; rs2071427 and actigraphic measurements in predicting lithium response.

This study aimed to examine the sleep parameters and sleep/wake regularity of a cohort of student-athletes who start training between 06:30 and 07:00. Twenty-one male Rugby Union players, aged 21 ± 2 years and competing at a national level, were assessed using actigraphy over two weeks, and the Athlete Sleep Screening Questionnaire (ASSQ). Sleep/wake regularity was calculated using the Sleep Regularity Index (SRI).

This study investigates the impact of internalized HIV stigma on sleep problems and depression in people living with HIV (PLWH) in Botswana. It also explores whether sleep problems mediate the relationship between internalized HIV stigma and depressive symptoms, given that sleep disturbance is a symptom of depression and often predates a depressive episode. Secondary analysis was conducted using baseline data from a pilot randomized controlled trial on 58 virally unsuppressed PLWH in Gaborone, Botswana.

Objective: Sleep disturbance is considered a risk factor for cognitive decline in elderly individuals. Our aim in the current study was to investigate whether baseline sleep parameters can predict the conversion from normal cognition to mild cognitive impairment or dementia at follow-up. The Hellenic Longitudinal Investigation of Aging and Diet is a longitudinal population-based study designed to estimate the prevalence and incidence of cognitive decline and dementia in the older Greek population.
