Summary: The study found that there is a positive association between nocturia and poor sleep. Among good sleep participants, those with baseline nocturia were more likely to develop poor sleep. Among non-nocturia participants, baseline poor sleep was associated with the incidence of nocturia, particularly in women and those below the age of 50.

Summary: This study found that sleep quality in children with intellectual disabilities is mainly influenced by comorbidities, rather than functional impairments. Factors such as recurrent pain, frequent seizures, coughing, constipation and prescription sleep medications are associated with abnormal sleep, with differences in predictors between diagnostic groups.

Summary: This study found significant subjective-objective sleep discrepancy in patients with insomnia and comorbid OSA, with insomnia having the strongest association with sleep discrepancy and negative impact on QOL. Patients with comorbid OSA reported the greatest sleep discrepancy and lowest QOL. Further research is needed to understand individual profiles of misperception and insomnia phenotypes.

Summary: It is well-known that cancer patients are more likely to experience sleep problems compared to the general population, and sleep quality is associated with various aspects of quality of life. Female and younger cancer patients are particularly at risk for sleep problems.

Summary: This study extracted audio features from a large number of tracks in sleep playlists on Spotify and found that sleep music is softer, slower, more often instrumental, and played on acoustic instruments compared to general music. However, there is a large amount of variation in sleep music, which can be grouped into six distinct subgroups. Interestingly, some popular tracks in sleep music are faster, louder, and more energetic than average sleep music. This research advances our understanding of how people use music to regulate their behavior in everyday life by determining the universal and subgroup characteristics of sleep music in a unique, global dataset using digital traces.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the association between sleep quality and fatigue in colorectal cancer survivors. The results showed that worse sleep quality in colorectal cancer patients was associated with higher levels of fatigue during the first two years post-treatment. Therefore, attention should be paid to sleep quality and sleep health interventions may help reduce fatigue and improve quality of life in colorectal cancer survivors.

Summary: This study examines the effects of 12 months of gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) on sleep quality and insomnia severity. The results show that GAHT does not result in significant changes in insomnia or sleep quality, but there are small improvements in sleep efficiency and sleep onset latency after 12 months.

Summary: Conventional metrics for measuring sleep quantity/depth have limitations. An ORP-based approach provides additional information on sleep disorders that is not captured by traditional metrics. The ORP histogram offers unique insights into the neurophysiological characteristics of sleep disorders, potentially advancing diagnosis and management.

Summary: The study found that supplementing with saffron extract for 6 weeks led to improvements in sleep duration and quality, including increased time in bed, improved ease of falling asleep, and overall improvement in sleep quality. This suggests that saffron extract may be a natural and safe nutritional strategy to improve sleep.

Summary: The study found that a 3-month light-to-moderate intensity aerobic exercise intervention significantly improved objectively measured sleep quality among community-dwelling older people, regardless of their baseline sleep conditions. These results suggest that exercise can have a positive impact on sleep quality in older individuals.

Summary: Insomnia, obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), and their co-occurrence (COMISA) were investigated for prevalence and associations in Australian adults. Results showed that COMISA was common and associated with increased medical and psychiatric co-morbidity, as well as poor general health.
