In a French prison, most inmates reported not being satisfied with their sleep. Life habits between good and bad sleepers were not significantly different except for television and smoking. The most frequently reported symptom of insomnia was several awakenings at night, and the most frequently cited etiologies were rumination of thoughts and noise. Most patients reported that their sleeping problems began or worsened after incarceration. A quarter of the inmates were following a hypnotic treatment, and most of these treatments began in prison. Only 42% of patients were satisfied with its effectiveness. These observations enabled us to make recommendations for healthy sleep patterns such as respecting normal night-and-day cycles, encouraging to stop smoking, and promoting appropriate use of hypnotic treatments.

Sleep need accumulates during waking and dissipates during sleep to maintain sleep homeostasis (process S). Besides the regulation of daily (baseline) sleep amount, homeostatic sleep regulation commonly refers to the universal phenomenon that sleep deprivation (SD) causes an increase of sleep need, hence, the amount and intensity of subsequent recovery sleep. The central regulators and signaling pathways that govern the baseline and homeostatic sleep regulations in mammals remain unclear.

Purpose: Children with achondroplasia (ACH) are at risk for sudden death in infancy due to sleep disordered breathing (SDB) and foramen magnum stenosis (FMS). Sleep studies and neuroimaging are performed in infants with ACH, but interpretation of infant studies is challenging. We sought to describe baseline data on polysomnography (PSG) indices in infants with achondroplasia as well as effects of age and surgery on these parameters.

Sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (SAHS) is a respiratory disorder characterized by cessation of breathing during sleep, resulting in daytime somnolence and various comorbidities. SAHS encompasses obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), caused by upper airway obstruction, and central sleep apnea (CSA), resulting from lack of brainstem signaling for respiration. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy is the gold standard treatment for SAHS, reducing apnea and hypopnea episodes by providing continuous airflow.

Objective: This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the association between insomnia and the presence of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and its subtypes in orthodontic patients.
Methods: A total of 648 adult orthodontic patients (158 males and 490 females, median age 26) were included and completed a questionnaire containing sociodemographic information, insomnia severity index (ISI), the five major temporomandibular disorder symptoms (5Ts) checklist, and self-reported sleep bruxism. Presence of insomnia and TMD of the included patients was determined according to the diagnostic criteria, and statistical analyses were conducted as appropriate to compare ISI-related scores between TMD and non-TMD participants.
