Sleep plays a crucial role in the regulation of body homeostasis and rhythmicity in mammals. Recently, a specific component of the sleep structure has been proposed as part of its homeostatic mechanism, named micro-arousal. Here, we studied the unique progression of the dynamic behavior of cortical and hippocampal local field potentials (LFPs) during slow-wave sleep-related to motor-bursts (micro-arousals) in mice. Our main results comprised: (i) an abrupt drop in hippocampal LFP amplitude preceding micro-arousals which persisted until the end of motor-bursts (we defined as t interval, around 4s) and a similar, but delayed amplitude reduction in cortical (S1/M1) LFP activity occurring at micro-arousal onset; (ii) two abrupt frequency jumps in hippocampal LFP activity: from Theta (6-12 Hz) to Delta (2-4 Hz), also t seconds before the micro-arousal onset, and followed by another frequency jump from Delta to Theta range (5-7 Hz), now occurring at micro-arousal onset; (iii) a pattern of cortico-hippocampal frequency communication precedes micro-arousals: the analysis between hippocampal and cortical LFP fluctuations reveal high coherence during τ interval in a broader frequency band (2-12 Hz), while at a lower frequency band (0.5-2 Hz) the coherence reaches its maximum after the onset of micro-arousals. In conclusion, these novel findings indicate that oscillatory dynamics pattern of cortical and hippocampal LFPs preceding micro-arousals could be part of the regulatory processes in sleep architecture.

Nightmares and Sleep Disturbances in Children with PTSD: A Polysomnographic and Actigraphy Approach Evaluation.
J Clin Med
October 2023
Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Strasbourg University Hospital, 67091 Strasbourg, France.
Rationale: Sleep disturbances (insomnia and nightmare symptoms) are the most sensitive and persistent symptoms of pediatric post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Untreated, these sleep disturbances (SD) associated with PTSD are predictive of PTSD persistence and increased psychiatric complications. The aim of this study was to evaluate sleep and circadian rhythms in children with PTSD under both laboratory and ecological conditions in comparison with a control population and to test for the first time the hypothesis that SD and circadian rhythms are positively correlated with PTSD severity and its comorbidities.

Background: Sleep disturbance is a common non-motor symptom of Parkinson's disease (PD). Most polysomnography (PSG) studies are conducted when patients are in their "on medication" state. Our study aimed to investigate changes in the sleep structure in drug-naive PD patients with poor subjective sleep quality based on polysomnography (PSG) and to explore potential correlations between sleep structure and clinical features of the disease.

The autonomic nervous system (ANS) and the central nervous system (CNS) interplay during sleep, particularly during phasic events such as micro-arousals, has been the subject of several studies. The underlying mechanisms of such relationship which remain unclear, specifically during daytime sleep, were partly investigated in this study. Napping polysomnography was performed on two occasions at least one week apart in 15 healthy subjects.

Study Objectives: In-laboratory polysomnography is the current gold standard for objective sleep measurements in clinical trials, but this does not capture night-to-night variability in sleep parameters. This study analyzed variability in sleep parameters recorded over multiple nights of sleep in an ecological setting using a portable sleep monitor and then estimated the minimum sample sizes required to reliably account for inter- and intra-individual variability in sleep parameters.
Methods: Participants were males who self-reported the absence of sleep disorders, and used a sleep monitoring device (Dreem Headband, Dreem, France) over multiple nights of sleep.
Oral appliances reduce masticatory muscle activity-sleep bruxism metrics independently of changes in heart rate variability.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effects of oral appliances (OAs) on sleep bruxism (SB), focusing on heart rate variability (HRV) as a measure of autonomic nervous system activity during sleep.
- A retrospective analysis of 21 participants indicates that using OAs significantly reduces rhythmic masticatory muscle activity (RMMA) during sleep but does not change HRV parameters.
- The findings suggest that while OAs help mitigate the damaging effects of SB, their action does not directly affect the underlying mechanisms of SB.
