Objective: Studies have described sleep dysfunction (SD) in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). However, there is a paucity of literature describing sleep dysfunction in the context of aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and severity of SD in patients with AERD relative to CRS.
Methods: This study is a prospective cohort study. Patients diagnosed with CRS without polyposis (CRSsNP, = 206), CRS with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP, = 38), and AERD ( = 28) were recruited prospectively in academic center rhinology clinic. SD was assessed using the Neuro-QOL Short Form v1.0-Sleep Disturbance (sleep-QOL), for which severe SD is defined as a score >2.0 standard deviations from the normalized mean. Demographic and patient-reported outcome measures (including SNOT-22 and PHQ-2) were collected to adjust for sleep confounders. Comparisons were made between groups using univariate and multivariate analyses.
Results: The prevalence of severe SD was significantly higher in AERD (57.1%) than in CRSsNP (32.5%) or CRSwNP (34.2%), = 0.038. After adjusting for sleep confounders, the risk of sleep dysfunction remained higher among patients with AERD (odds ratio [OR] = 2.72 vs. CRSsNP, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.18-6.27, = 0.02; OR = 3.06 vs. CRSwNP, 95% CI = 1.06-8.82, = 0.04). SNOT-22 total score and the sleep subdomain showed no correlation with sleep-QOL score.
Conclusions: The frequency and severity of SD are greater in AERD patients than in patients with CRS with or without nasal polyposis, independent of confounders of sleep quality. While the putative link between AERD and SD remains elusive, this study suggests that SD in AERD may be greater than previously recognized.

Sleep disorders refer to conditions characterized by abnormal sleep duration and quality, including insomnia, sleep-disordered breathing, and fragmented sleep, and have become one of the major challenges to modern physical and mental health. The anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) is an important component of the limbic system, located between the cingulate sulcus and the callosal sulcus on the medial surface of the cerebral hemispheres, and plays a critical role in regulating autonomic movements, emotions, and pain. It is an important part of the sleep regulation system.

Objectives: Accurate assessment of sleep quality is crucial for understanding sleep problems and their impact on health. This study analyzed the agreement between subjective sleep assessments and objective sleep monitoring in adolescents with mood disorders, aiming to provide a reliable methodological foundation for related research.
Methods: Adolescents with mood disorders were recruited from psychiatric outpatient clinics of three domestic hospitals.

Interoception refers to the sensation of internal and physiological bodily states, such as heart rate, and contributes to the maintenance of bodily internal homeostasis. Some studies showed that interoceptive awareness is related to experiencing nightmares and subjective sleep quality. Similarly to the perception of heart rate variability, sleepiness is thought to be mainly evoked by homeostatic processes and is based on the awareness and recognition of internal body signals.

Chronic anxiety is commonly associated with poor sleep patterns, which may contribute to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) through mechanisms like oxidative stress, vascular dysfunction, and poor blood pressure control. As sleep disturbances, particularly poor sleep quality and/or regularity, have been independently linked to CVD development, this study explored whether sleep quality/regularity in young adults with chronic anxiety are associated with early indicators of CVD risk, specifically oxidative stress, vascular function, and blood pressure control. Twenty-eight young (24±4 years) participants with a prior clinical diagnosis of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) or elevated GAD symptoms (GAD7>10) had their sleep quality (total sleep time (TST) and sleep efficiency (SE)) and regularity (via TST/SE standard deviations (SD)) assessed for seven consecutive days.

Objective: This study evaluated the feasibility and satisfaction of using a wearable brain activity sensing device for stress reduction among patients experiencing Long COVID (LC).
Patients And Methods: Patients with LC (N = 45) were invited to participate in an open-label pilot study. Participants were asked to use a brain-sensing electroencephalogram (S-EEG) wearable device (Muse-S™) daily for 90 days and followed for an additional 90 days (180 days total participation).
