Background: There is little knowledge about rest-activity cycles (RAC) in patients with severe-acquired brain injury (sABI) during early in-hospital rehabilitation. This study aimed to investigate if patients with sABI displayed unconsolidated RACs at the beginning of in-hospital rehabilitation, and how these changed over time.
Methods: This study was a prospective observational study. All patients consecutively admitted to one ward were screened for eligibility. We recorded accelerometric activity for 20 days. The Daytime Activity Ratio (DAR) of activity between daytime (7-22) and the total activity during the entire day was calculated and used to estimate consolidation.
Results: Fifty-five patients were screened and 20 patients were included. Complete day 1 & 2 data was obtained on 18 patients. Fifty-six percentage of these had a consolidated RAC at the beginning of rehabilitation. On day 19 & 20, complete data could be obtained from 15 patients, 80% of these had consolidation of RAC. When comparing these a significant mean increase of 5.8% 95%CI(0.52; 11.01) in DAR was found < .05, and the model of all data also showed a significant increase in median DAR over time < .01.
Conclusion: RAC consolidation improves over time in patients admitted for in-hospital early neurorehabilitation.

Environmental light conditions during development can have long-lasting effects on the physiology and behavior of an animal. Photoperiod, a clear example of environmental light conditions, is detected by and coded in the suprachiasmatic nucleus. It is therefore possible that differences observed in behavior in adulthood after exposure to different perinatal photoperiods are caused by lasting changes in the suprachiasmatic nucleus or alternatively, in other nuclei affected by perinatal photoperiod.

Background: Living with a diagnosis of dementia can involve managing certain behavioral and psychological symptoms. Alongside cognitive decline, this cohort expresses a suppression in melatonin production which can negatively influence their alignment of sleep or wake timings with the 24 hour day and night cycle. As a result, their circadian rhythms become disrupted.

Athletes frequently compete only a few days after long-haul travel. Longitudinal real-world data on athletes' sleep and sleep-wake cycle in competitive settings remain scarce. This study assessed the impact of a long-haul travel across ∼13 time zones on sleep patterns, rest-activity circadian rhythms (RAR), and their subsequent effects on neuromuscular function and race performance in the Canadian Short-Track Speed Skating Team.

Ion channels are integral components of the nervous system, playing a pivotal role in shaping membrane potential, neuronal excitability, synaptic transmission and plasticity. Dysfunction in these channels, such as improper expression or localization, can lead to irregular neuronal excitability and synaptic communication, which may manifest as various behavioral abnormalities, including disrupted rest-activity cycles. Research has highlighted the significant impact of voltage gated ion channels on sleep parameters, influencing sleep latency, duration and waveforms.
