Objective: To examine the longitudinal associations among sleep, executive control (EC), and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms in childhood.
Methods: In this longitudinal study (N = 271), parents answered questions about sleep problems when children were 3 years old, children completed a comprehensive EC task battery at 4.5 years, and teachers completed standardized measures of child ADHD symptoms in 4th grade.
Results: Latent moderated structural equation models demonstrated that sleep problems at 3 years and EC deficits at 4.5 years were associated with ADHD symptoms in 4th grade. EC moderated the relationship between sleep problems and hyperactivity/impulsivity, such that children with both sleep problems and poor EC were particularly at risk for hyperactivity/impulsivity.
Conclusions: Sleep problems and EC deficits early in development were associated with increased risk for ADHD symptoms in elementary school. Early assessment and intervention to promote healthy sleep and EC development may be helpful in ADHD prevention.

Applying Natural Language Processing Techniques to Map Trends in Insomnia Treatment Terms on the r/Insomnia Subreddit: Infodemiology Study.

Background: People share health-related experiences and treatments, such as for insomnia, in digital communities. Natural language processing tools can be leveraged to understand the terms used in digital spaces to discuss insomnia and insomnia treatments.
Objective: The aim of this study is to summarize and chart trends of insomnia treatment terms on a digital insomnia message board.
Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a complex and heterogeneous condition associated with chronic physiological and neuropsychological disturbances (1-4). One notable neuropsychological effect observed in OSA patients is memory impairment (2,5). Additionally, some reports suggest that OSA may be associated with Alzheimer's Disease (AD) (4).
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: The present study examined OSA using an objective home sleep test in 81 adults with DS (aged 25 ∼ 61 years) and evaluated associations between sleep-disordered breathing problems and biomarkers of AD pathology (PET Aβ and tau) and symptomology (cognitive performance and depressed mood).
Method: As part of the ABC-DS study, participants completed a 2.5-hour battery of cognitive measures and underwent MRI and PET imaging scans and a blood draw.

Background: Past studies examining sleep-cognition relationships mostly employed univariate approaches, which are subject to problems such as multicollinearity and multiple comparisons. Further, results from small sample univariate analyses are difficult to compare, precluding the identification of the aspects of sleep health associated with a particular cognitive domain(s). The current study used a multivariate approach to identify key sleep metrics and cognitive domains that contribute to the maximum sleep-cognition covariance in healthy older adults.

Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with hypoxia-induced neuronal impairment and dysfunction-key risk factors for the pathogeneses of age-related neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). This study examined longitudinal associations between OSA severity and CSF biomarkers associated with AD, synaptic dysfunction, and neuroinflammation in a sample of late-middle-aged adults with increased risk for AD.
Method: N=25 cognitively unimpaired adults (64% female, mean age 65.
