Published: March 2023

Short sleep duration is common among US adults and is even more common among people working in protective services and the military. Military service predisposes members to disordered sleep due to the rigors of deployments and field training. In this article, we explore possible mechanisms by which sleep deprivation may affect the skin. We also review the potential impacts of sleep deprivation on specific topics in dermatology, including atopic dermatitis (AD), psoriasis, alopecia areata, physical attractiveness, wound healing, and skin cancer.

(1) Background: Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is an amino acid and the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain. GABA has been shown to reduce stress and promote sleep. GABALAGEN (GBL) is the product of fermented fish collagen by Lactobacillus brevis BJ20 and Lactobacillus plantarum BJ21, naturally enriched with GABA through the fermentation process and characterized by low molecular weight.

Background: Chronic sleep deprivation (CSD) plays an important role in mood disorders. However, the changes in the gut microbiota and metabolites associated with CSD-induced anxiety/depression-like behavior in female mice have not been determined. Due to the influence of endogenous hormone levels, females are more susceptible than males to negative emotions caused by sleep deprivation.

Behavioral factors, such as smoking, alcohol consumption, stress, poor diet, and physical inactivity, but also sleep deprivation and negative social connections, play a critical role in the development and progression of major chronic diseases. These include cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, chronic respiratory conditions, and cancers. : The objective of this review is to explore the influence of these modifiable risk factors on the global burden of chronic diseases and assess the potential impact of public health interventions and policy changes.

Background: The increasing prevalence of primary hypertension among children and adolescents is a global health concern, with inadequate sleep duration identified as a significant risk factor. This study investigates the impact of weekday-weekend sleep duration gap (WWSDG) on hypertension among American adolescents.

Methods: Using data from the NHANES 2017-2020 cohort, we analyzed sleep patterns and hypertension prevalence among 430 adolescents.

Calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II α and β differentially regulate mammalian sleep.

Commun Biol

While sleep is important, our understanding of its molecular mechanisms is limited. Over the last two decades, protein kinases including Ca/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) α and β have been implicated in sleep regulation. Of all the known mouse genetic mutants, the biggest changes in sleep is reported to be observed in adult mice with sgRNAs for Camk2b injected into their embryos: sleep is reduced by approximately 120 min (mins) over 24 h (hrs).
