The prevalence and incidence of narcolepsy in the United States: a real-world observational study using a validated narcolepsy case definition
AbstractStudy ObjectivesNarcolepsy is a chronic condition affecting the sleep/wake cycle that is challenging to diagnose. Epidemiological data from large US-focused studies remain limited, with no validated claims-based case selection definitions ...

Cheyne–Stokes respiration detected via CPAP devices as a digital biomarker for heart failure in obstructive sleep apnoea: systematic review
AbstractStudy ObjectivesTo synthesize evidence on the diagnostic, prognostic, surveillance, and monitoring potential of Cheyne–Stokes respiration (CSR) ventilatory patterns, as detected by continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) devices, in pat...

Short sleep recovery partially restores decision-making alterations induced by total sleep deprivation
AbstractThe dynamics of recovery from impaired decision-making after total sleep deprivation (TSD) are not well understood. We investigated the impact of TSD and subsequent 3 h sleep recovery night period on decision-making. After one baseline nig...

Circadian misalignment and adolescent obesity risk behaviors: physical & sedentary activity, dietary intake, and food reward
AbstractObjectivesSleep duration and quality frequently predict obesity-related behaviors, though less is known about how circadian misalignment relates to obesogenic behaviors. The current study evaluated the impact of experimentally induced circ...

From night-to-night and from person-to-person: dynamic phenomena of insomnia
AbstractStudy ObjectivesSleep is complex and variable, yet insomnia research and treatment often rely on averages—either across nights or across individuals. Such approaches risk obscuring dynamic features that characterize insomnia as a disorder ...

A polygenic risk score modifies the cardiovascular risk associated with obstructive sleep apnea
AbstractStudy ObjectivesObstructive sleep apnea (OSA) carries increased cardiovascular (CV) risk. However, this risk is not fully captured by the apnea–hypopnea index (AHI). We investigated whether a validated coronary artery disease polygenic ris...

Exploratory associations of sleep spindles and sleep disordered breathing indices with hippocampal and thalamic volume, and cortical thickness, and cerebrovascular biomarkers among community dwelling older adults: results from the Brain in Motion Study
AbstractStudy ObjectivesObstructive sleep apnea (OSA) impacts brain structure and cerebrovascular function and is often associated with impaired sleep microstructure such as sleep spindles. Given the lack of research in sleep spindles and brain ph...

Effects of lemborexant and zolpidem on sleep electroencephalography in older adults with insomnia: a randomized trial
AbstractHow sleep medications affect brain physiology over time remains largely unknown. Prior pharmacodynamic work has established distinct spectral signatures of GABA-A receptor modulators vs. DORAs in younger or mixed adult samples. Here, we re...
