Short sleep duration has been linked to the development of neurocognitive disorders. Still, current evidence for this relationship is conflicting. In this review, we summarize evidence regarding the relationship between short sleep duration and neurocognitive disorders, which shows that short sleep duration increases the risk of incident major neurocognitive disorders beginning as early as midlife. The pathological brain changes attributed to poor sleep may be related to changes in brain microstructure and accumulation of debris in the brain. More evidence is needed to fully understand the relationship between sleep duration and cognitive decline and the molecular changes that link the two. Measures of sleep quality such as sleep duration represent a potentially modifiable risk factor for the prevention of cognitive decline and neurocognitive disorders.

Introduction Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain disorder characterized by widespread pain, fatigue, and sleep disturbances. The purpose of this study was to compare how well duloxetine, pregabalin, and milnacipran worked for fibromyalgia patients in terms of pain management, quality of life, and sleep quality. Methodology A prospective cohort research study with 193 fibromyalgia patients was carried out at the Abbas Institute of Medical Sciences, Muzaffarabad, Pakistan.

Aims: Sleep timing, influenced by chronotype, behavior, and circadian rhythms, is critical for human health. While previous research has linked chronotype to various health outcomes, the impact of aligning sleep timing with chronotype on physical health remains underexplored. The objective of this study is to investigate the association between chronotype, actual sleep timing, and their alignment with a spectrum of physical health outcomes.

Article Synopsis
- Chronic pain significantly impacts patients' daily lives, mental health, and relationships, leading to various concerns about treatment and its side effects.
- The study involved 833 patients from South Korea, revealing that many expressed worries about medication risks and opioid addiction, with common symptoms including irritability, depression, and sleep disturbances.
- Analysis showed that women were more prone to anxiety and depression, while men faced issues like family conflict and unemployment, highlighting that younger patients experienced more accompanying symptoms than older ones.

Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is a common anxiety disorder characterized by excessive, uncontrollable worry and physical symptoms such as difficulty concentrating and sleep disturbances. Although functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies have reported aberrant network-level activity related to cognition and emotion in GAD, its low temporal resolution restricts its ability to capture the rapid neural activity in mental processes. EEG microstate analysis offers millisecond-resolution for tracking the dynamic changes in brain electrical activity, thereby illuminating the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying the cognitive and emotional dysfunctions in GAD.

Background: Short sleep duration is common in the pediatric population and is associated with an increased risk of high carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT), a marker of subclinical atherosclerosis. However, little is known regarding whether changes in sleep duration status over time can alter the risk of high cIMT in children.
Objectives: To examine the association between changes in sleep duration status and high cIMT in a cohort study of Chinese children.
