Numerous studies have linked #ObstructiveSleepApnea (OSA) with #neurocognitivedecline. The main method of treatment for #OSA is #CPAP. Here, the authors propose that CPAP treatment may alter #cerebrospinalfluid-lymph movement promoting clearance of #amyloidplaques associated with #dementia.

Short periods of #sleepdeprivation (SD) negatively impact the #hippocampus, the region of the brain primarily responsible for #memory. 🧠 In this study, researchers worked to uncover how #sleeploss affects #neocorticalcircutry in the #hippocampus. https://t.co/TjGioPpSPF

#Adultnon-REMparasomnias (#NREMp) can have adverse effects on #sleephealth, but little is known about the relationship between #NREMp and #socioecomicoutcomes. Here, healthcare data and #medicalbills from 159 Danish individuals diagnosed with #NREMp is analyzed to better understand the relationship. https://t.co/ORMRB1TsSg

#Sleephealth is essential for overall wellbeing, but few studies how socioeconomic differences can impact #objectivesleepmeasures. In the #FutureFamiliesofYoungAdultStudy, #actigraph data from 442 American young adults was analyzed to highlight key characteristics of sleep across a diverse sample.

The landscape of #HIVresearch has shifted. People living with #HIVinfection often struggle with poor sleep, with #sleepdisorders acting as a common #comorbidity in this population. In this study, researchers work to understand #sleeparchitecture in those #livingwithHIV in comparison to that of those living without HIV.

#CognitiveBehavioralTherapy (CBT-I) remains the most popular #insomniatreatment. In this clinical trial, researchers explore #amitriptyline as a potential #insomniatreatment for patients with #medicalcomorbidities.

#Locuscoerleus (LC) neurons are important to the #sleepwakecycle and #cognitivehealth. In sleep disorders #hypoxia can hinder the strength of #LCneurons, impacting cognitive health. Using #7Timaging on #olderadults, these authors demonstrate that #hypoxia has a negative effect on #LCneuronintegrity.

Adults experiencing #LongCOVID have reported having #poorsleep, but the cause remains unknown. 3 years after #COVIDInfection, researchers studied the effect of #COVIDinfection on #sleepduration, #sleepquality, and #sleepdisturbance in a #populationcohort.

#Brainwasteclearance during sleep depends on the #glymphatic-meningeallymphaticsystem. These authors explore how calcification of #meningeallymphaticvessels in the #parasagittalduralspace may impair clearance and contribute to #cognitivedecline.

#ObstructiveSleepApnea can be adequately treated using #positiveairwaypressure (PAP). However, #PAPtreatment adherence is especially important to prevent the negative effects of #untreatedOSA. In this article, the authors provide a #realworldanalysis of #PAPadherance. They cite that confidence in its effectiveness, external support, and internal motivation allow for #PAPadherance.

#Sleepdeprivation negatively impacts many aspects of our health. One of the most affected #neuralprocesses is #attention, which is measured using the #psychomotorvisualtask. In this study, researchers developed a #bistable-stochasticmodel to better quantify the impact of #sleepdeprivation on #attention.

#Sleepspindles play an interesting role in #cognition and #neuronaldevelopment. Utilizing #polysomnography-derived #EEGdata from a pediatric cohort, researchers were able to better dissect the relationship between #sleepspindles and #childhoodcognition experimentally.

#Hypertension is common in those experiencing #excessivedaytimesleepiness (EDS) as well as #cardiovascularmorbidity. Those with #EDS also demonstrate #poorcognitiveperformance. In a cohort of 1741 participants, the researchers studied the link between #objectivesleepiness without complaint and #hypertensionrisk.

#Sleepdeprivation threatens #sleephealth, #cognitivehealth, and #emotionalprocessing. The mechanisms behind it effects remain unclear. In this study, researchers explain the widespread effects of #sleepdeprivation on reorganizing #wholebrainfunctionalnetworks. They find that the effect is also #age-related.

The #gutmicrobiome plays an important role in overall health. In this study, researchers wished to uncover the relationship between #microbiomehealth and #sleephealth. The authors searched for a #metagenomicsignature in regards to the #gutmicrobiome and its potential influence on #RestlessLegSyndrome (RLS) #diagnosis and #severity.

The similarities between #idiopathichypersomnia (IH) and #narcolepsytype2 (NT2) makes #diagnosis difficult for #sleepclinicians. In this study, researchers developed an #automated screening tool to differentiate between the two #sleepdisorders. #Nocturnalpolysomnography data (nPSG) data was utilized as #groundtruth data for the screening tool to rely on.

#Chronicinsomnia (CID) could have debilitating effects on health and #qualityoflife. Researchers focus on the #mediodorsalthalamicnucleus (MD) as a potential player in #CID diagnosis and pathology. Researchers observed the #MD in brains of patients with #CID to clarify its involvement in #dysfunctionalbrainnetworks.
