Summary: The study examined changes in adolescent sleep before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, finding that negative affect and health behaviors may impact sleep quality during this challenging time. Adolescents with ADHD did not experience the same benefits of increased sleep duration as adolescents without ADHD.

Summary: This study aimed to determine sleep patterns and the prevalence and association factors of sleep disorders among adolescents in a regionally representative sample in Mo Jiang, China. The results showed that the prevalence of sleep disorders among rural adolescents was 76.4%, higher than that among urban adolescents. Sleep disorders were positively associated with factors such as watching TV, academic performance, and academic stress, and girls were more likely to suffer from sleep disorders than boys. Insufficient sleep and sleep disorders have become common health problems among rural Chinese adolescents.

Summary: This study found that parental involvement has a positive effect on sleep duration in adolescents, which is mediated by bedtime media use. Family conflict directly increases daytime sleepiness. Therefore, adolescent sleep interventions should focus on parental involvement and fostering a family climate conducive to sleep.

Summary: This study found that high homework burdens were associated with neurobehavioral problems in adolescents. Sleep durations may mediate these associations, and sex may modify the relationships. The study collected information on homework burdens, bedtime/wake-up-time, and neurobehavioral problems from 609 middle-school students and identified patterns and associations through statistical analysis.

Summary: The study found that neglect and physical abuse have different effects on adolescent aggressive behaviors, with the physical abuse group exhibiting higher risk for physical aggression, while the neglect group showing higher risk for verbal aggression and hostility. Gender differences were observed as females were more likely to exhibit physical aggression when exposed to neglect and physical abuse.

Summary: Research shows that sleep deprivation during adolescence can have long-term negative effects on social behaviors in adulthood, such as empathic ability and social interaction. These effects are sex-dependent and may be associated with changes in the gut microbiota.

Summary: Adolescents engaging in multiple health risk behaviors can experience insufficient sleep, which hampers their growth. This study found that the clusters characterized by high risk behavior and low physical activity were significantly associated with insufficient sleep. Effective interventions tailored to the characteristics of different clusters should be developed by schools and healthcare practitioners to promote healthy adolescent development.

Summary: Based on the China Education Panel Survey, this study examined the types of parental involvement, differences in family socioeconomic status, and their impact on adolescent problem behaviors in China. Four potential types of parental involvement were identified, including supportive, disengaged, basic, and supervisory types. Supportive involvement was found to be the most effective in reducing internalizing and externalizing problem behaviors, while disengaged involvement was least effective in reducing externalizing problem behaviors.

Summary: Based on the theoretical model for the stress-sleep relationship, this study investigated the impact of parental phubbing on adolescent sleep quality problems and the moderating mediation mechanism. The results showed that parental phubbing and negative emotions were positively correlated with sleep quality problems, and self-control played a moderating role in the relationship between parental phubbing and negative emotions. This study provides empirical evidence for the relationship between parental phubbing and sleep quality problems.

Summary: This study examines decision-making impairments in individuals with central disorders of hypersomnolence (CDH), specifically narcolepsy type 1 (NT1). The results suggest that both NT1 and other CDH patients have decreased learning abilities to avoid losses, which is associated with alterations in vigilance. The study provides new insights into the nature of decision-making impairments in CDH and suggests the potential for minimizing these alterations by restoring adequate vigilance.

Summary: The study aimed to examine the effects of age, menopausal status, and symptoms on sleep patterns and circadian rhythms in midlife women. Premenopausal women had the most unstable day-to-day rhythms, and women with more severe symptoms experienced greater sleep problems. Psychological symptoms were the strongest predictors for all sleep parameters.

Summary: This study aimed to understand the experience of sleep disorder diagnosis and treatment in shift workers and propose patient-informed solutions to improve access to health services. The findings showed that there were varied experiences with diagnosis and management, often taking a long time to seek help from healthcare providers after noticing symptoms. The study also identified the need for education and awareness initiatives, convenient screening and referral pathways, and tailored models of care.

Summary: This study proposes a parsimonious two-stage model for defining stages of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) based on Sleep Restriction Therapy (SRT). Using data from a randomized clinical trial, the model helps identify patterns of treatment progression and their association with baseline insomnia severity. The model holds potential for further research on various CBT-I processes that are currently not fully understood.

Summary: In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the influence of gut microbiota on sleep physiology. The gut microbiota affects the central nervous system and circadian rhythms, and can be associated with sleep disorders. This study observed the gut microbiota composition of patients with different types of narcolepsy and idiopathic hypersomnia, and found changes in beta diversity in these patient groups compared to healthy controls. However, after adjusting for confounding factors, the differences were no longer statistically significant. The study suggests that using metabolomics and proteomics approaches to study the role of microbiota in sleep disorders may be beneficial.

Summary: The Life-ON study provides the largest polysomnographic dataset coupled with longitudinal subjective assessments of sleep quality in pregnant women to date. Sleep disorders are highly frequent and distributed differently during pregnancy and postpartum. Routine assessment of sleep disturbances in the perinatal period is necessary to improve early detection and clinical management.

Summary: This study aims to investigate pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) phenotypes and their prognostic implications by clustering overnight cardiorespiratory signals in PAH patients. Three distinct clusters were identified, with patients in Cluster 3 exhibiting worse clinical outcomes. The presence of nocturnal hypoxemia and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in PAH patients was associated with increased risk of clinical worsening. Tailored management strategies addressing both PAH and nocturnal hypoxemia may improve clinical outcomes.

Summary: This study found that N2 sleep spindles are associated with emotional functioning in school-aged children. Higher spindle density is related to decreased state-based emotional arousal towards negative affective images, and higher spindle peak frequency is associated with greater use of the positive emotion regulatory strategy of savoring.

Summary: This study investigated the long-term impact of dopamine agonist treatment on altered central sensory processing in restless legs syndrome (RLS) patients. The results showed that dopamine agonist treatment effectively reduced RLS symptoms but did not reverse the altered central sensory processing observed on testing. These findings suggest that RLS pathophysiology is multifactorial and not solely driven by dopaminergic dysfunction.
