Summary: Insomnia, daytime sleepiness, and depressive symptoms are highly comorbid in adolescents. The associations between insomnia and daytime sleepiness, as well as insomnia and depression, are bidirectional. Depression predicts daytime sleepiness, but not vice versa.

Summary: This study investigated the relationship between fatigue, excessive daytime sleepiness, and depression, finding that both fatigue and excessive daytime sleepiness were associated with depression regardless of the presence of each other.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the dynamic changes in hemodynamic and autonomic function in response to the head-up tilt test (HUTT) in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and its relationship with daytime sleepiness and fatigue symptoms. The results showed that MS patients had attenuated blood pressure responses and a more pronounced decrease in cardiac index during the HUTT compared to healthy controls. Additionally, daytime sleepiness and fatigue symptoms played an important role in blood pressure regulation in MS patients.

Summary: Fatigue is significantly associated with depression independent of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS). Further research is needed to better understand the pathophysiological relationship between fatigue, depression, and sleep. The study also found that fatigue is related to EDS, depression, perceived insufficient sleep, free-day catch-up sleep, less alcohol intake, and physical inactivity. Subgroup analysis showed additional associations with short workday sleep duration in individuals without EDS, and with depression and less alcohol intake in those with EDS.

Summary: This study investigated the presence of sleep abnormalities in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) patients and their correlation with disease severity and characteristics. The results showed that CMT patients had poor sleep quality and daytime somnolence, which were associated with anxiety, depression, and fatigue.

Summary: Commercial vehicle accidents are the leading cause of occupational fatalities, and excessive fatigue, health problems, and poor sleep during work are associated with an increased risk of traffic accidents. This study found that a significant number of construction drivers experience excessive daytime sleepiness and highlighted the importance of reducing driving fatigue and other factors that contribute to daytime sleepiness. Occupational health care providers should focus on developing health management interventions to reduce driving fatigue among occupational drivers working at construction sites.

Summary: This study found that depressive symptoms may lead to a decline in executive function, but not vice versa. Additionally, a decrease in scores of working memory test is predicted by depressive symptoms. The relationships between the two factors are not bidirectional.

Summary: This study examined the associations between different depressive symptom dimensions among stroke survivors at three timepoints within a year following discharge, finding reciprocal within-person associations between somatic symptoms and anhedonia. These two symptom dimensions may serve as useful indicators of depression risk and intervention targets, highlighting the importance of regularly assessing depressive symptoms for early identification and intervention in stroke survivors.

Summary: The study found that light therapy had a greater impact on improving sleep, especially in younger individuals and those with an evening chronotype. Stroke participants exhibited significantly greater reduction in reaction time post-treatment compared to those with TBI. Age significantly predicted productive activity during treatment, with younger participants showing a stronger treatment effect.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the initial features and evolution of neurologic Postacute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (neuro-PASC). The most common symptoms early in neuro-PASC were fatigue and headaches, while memory impairment and decreased concentration were most prominent at 6 months. Only one-third of participants had complete resolution of neuro-PASC at 6 months, although persistent symptoms showed improvement at follow-up.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the relationship between impaired thyroid hormone sensitivity at baseline and diabetes onset. The results showed no significant association between thyroid hormone sensitivity indices and diabetes onset, but elevated fasting glucose appeared to precede impaired sensitivity indices of thyroid hormones.

Summary: The study found that post-injury unemployment and substance misuse may lead to depression, which is associated with suicidal ideation. Older age and female gender are more likely to experience depression. The severity of overall injury is related to the occurrence of suicidal ideation.

Summary: This exploratory longitudinal field study aimed to examine the changes in subjective, performance-based, and physiological fatigue measures over time across different shift types in offshore environments. The findings revealed that workers' performances on the psychomotor vigilance test deteriorated over time across all shift types. The study also found correlations between different multimodal fatigue measures.
