Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a serious condition that impairs sleep quality, which compromises quality of life, cardiovascular function and increases the risk of mortality; however, limited information is available on sleep quality in hemodialysis (HD) patients.
Objective: To determine the sleep quality in patients with CKD on renal replacement therapy with HD.
Material And Methods: Cross-sectional analytical study. The population included patients with CKD on HD, either sex, who answered the Pittsburgh questionnaire in a tertiary hospital. A 19-item self-administered survey was applied, assessing 7 components of sleep quality, where overall scores ≤ 5 and > 5 indicated respectively good and poor sleep quality. Socio-demographic, anthropometric, self-reported lifestyle and CKD history-related characteristics were assessed.
Results: A total of 83 patients were included with a mean age of 45.3 (15.9), 63% (52) were male and 37% (31) female; of these, 63% (52) had poor sleep quality and 37% (31) had good sleep quality.
Conclusion: Sleep quality is poor in patients with CKD on renal replacement therapy with HD. Variables influencing sleep quality are age, occupation, body mass index, sleep duration, and use of hypnotic medications. Therefore, HD patients should be evaluated to detect sleep problems in order to develop strategies to improve their sleep quality.

Background: Weighted blankets have recently introduced in the treatment on insomnia as a nonpharmacological integrative therapy. Here we prospectively evaluated the effects of weighted blankets on the sleep structure and heart rate variability (HRV) in patients with primary psychophysiological insomnia.
Methods: In this prospective polysomnographic (PSG) study between August 2021 and August 2022, patients were given weighted blankets (~10% of body weight) to use at home for 10 nights consecutively.

Understanding sleep stages is crucial for diagnosing sleep disorders, developing treatments, and studying sleep's impact on overall health. With the growing availability of affordable brain monitoring devices, the volume of collected brain data has increased significantly. However, analyzing these data, particularly when using the gold standard multi-lead electroencephalogram (EEG), remains resource-intensive and time-consuming.

With increasing interest in plant-based compounds that can enhance sleep quality without the side effects of caffeine, Alpinia galanga (AG) has emerged as a promising herbal supplement for improving mental alertness. This study assessed the impact of water-soluble AG extract on sleep quality; the activity of GABAergic, glutamatergic, and serotonergic receptors; and concentrations of dopamine and serotonin in the brains of mice. The study employed two experimental models using BALB/c mice to examine the impact of pentobarbital-induced sleep and caffeine-induced insomnia.
