Sleep in a warming world: why climate change demands a new sleep science agenda
Sleep occurs in context. The physiology of sleep includes processes that involve nearly every system in the body, with effects on cardiovascular, metabolic, immune, cognitive, emotional, and behavioral health [1]. Yet, these physiologic processes ...

Can we monitor and enhance glymphatic clearance during sleep?
Over the last decade, glymphatic clearance, the process by which metabolic waste is cleared from the brain, has emerged as a potentially critical function of sleep [1]. Animal studies have shown that the glymphatic system is more active during sle...

Sleepiness and attention in sleep-clinic patients and their associations with apnea severity and treatment
AbstractStudy ObjectivesExcessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) is common in patients with sleep disorders, particularly obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) and the Psychomotor Vigilance Test (PVT) are often used to measur...

“Chatting” about DISE: can machine learning tools assist decision making for obstructive sleep apnea?
In the quest for personalized treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), methods for phenotyping and patient selection are essential. Drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) is a current method for dynamic upper airway evaluation for potential sites...
