U-shaped association between sleep duration and frailty in Chinese older adults: a cross-sectional study.
Front Public Health
January 2025
School of Athletic Performance, Shanghai University of Sport, Shanghai, China.
Objective: As the population ages, understanding the association between sleep patterns and physical frailty in older adults is crucial for formulating effective health interventions. This study aimed to explore the relationship among nap time, nighttime sleep duration, and physical frailty in older Chinese individuals; establish recommended sleep times; and provide a scientific and reasonable basis for the prevention and management of frailty in older adults.
Methods: On the basis of the 2020 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study database, demographic information, health data, and lifestyle information of the research subjects were obtained.
Quantity and quality of napping to mitigate fatigue and sleepiness among nurses working long night shifts: a prospective observational study.
J Physiol Anthropol
January 2025
Faculty of Health Sciences, Hokkaido University, Kita 12, Nishi 5, Kita-Ku, Sapporo, Hokkaido, 060-0812, Japan.
Background: Napping during night shifts is a countermeasure against fatigue and sleepiness, which both impact patient safety. However, there is insufficient evidence on how nurses nap, especially concerning their napping quality. This study explored night-shift napping and its associated factors among nurses, considering napping quantity and quality, to mitigate fatigue and sleepiness.

Background: Evidence on the potential effects of midday napping on risk of stroke in Chinese populations remains limited.
Objectives: We aimed to prospectively investigate the association between midday napping and risk of subsequent stroke and stroke subtypes in the Kailuan study.
Methods: Midday napping duration was obtained from a self-reported questionnaire.

Article Synopsis
- Infertility affects millions and treatments like IVF and ICSI have low success rates (~35% per embryo transfer), prompting researchers to examine how lifestyle factors, particularly sleep, may impact outcomes.
- A study with 174 women undergoing ART explored the link between sleep quality, stress levels, and the success of IVF/ICSI procedures by analyzing various reproductive metrics.
- Results indicated that poor sleep quality significantly reduced the number of retrieved oocytes and matured oocytes, with excessive sleep (≥10 hours) leading to even worse outcomes in embryo quality.
Night Shift Work and Sleep Experiences in Older Night Shift Nurses.
West J Nurs Res
November 2024
Division of Sleep and Circadian Disorders, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, MA, USA.
Background: Working at night leads to misalignment between the biological clock and the work/sleep schedule, resulting in sleepiness and impaired performance during the night shift and poor quality, shortened sleep during the day; this is greatly impaired in older individuals.
Objective: To describe night work and sleep experiences from the perspective of older (aged 50-65) nurses.
Methods: Seven virtual focus groups were formed comprising 19 older nurses who worked regular 8-hour night shifts (at least 6 consecutive hours between midnight and 6 am) to learn about their shift work and sleep experiences.
