I was humbled by the opportunity to feature on this podcast episode by the KPI Institute. Our conversation focused on equipping parents with tips on how to manage their children's sleep problems. I hope parents will find this discussion helpful.

@joshleota Keep up the great work Josh. Looking forward to this informative article.

Happy to share our new paper in Nature Communications examining the link between strenuous evening exercise and sleep. In ~4 million nights across ~15,000 individuals, we found:

1. Later exercise timing and higher exercise strain are dose-dependently associated with delayed sleep onset, shorter and worse quality sleep, higher resting heart rate, and lower HRV.

2. For example, maximal vs light strain exercise ending ≤ 2 hours before sleep is associated with a 36–60-minute later sleep onset and a 22–41-minute shorter sleep duration!

3. Regardless of strain level, exercise bouts ending ≥4 hours before sleep are not associated with changes in sleep.

Key takeaway: Individuals aiming to improve sleep health may benefit from ending strenuous exercise at least 4 hours before sleep onset or electing lighter strain exercises within this window.

This underscores the complex emotional profile of this subgroup and the need for assessment, analysis, and treatment methods that target a range of symptoms rather than relying on single-diagnostic protocols.

[Edith Botchway-Commey @botchway_edith]

In this latest work, we used cluster analysis to identify emotional distress symptom clusters in young adults with child TBI, focusing on symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress.

Membership in this elevated distress group was associated with:
- sustaining TBI at a younger age, supporting the early vulnerability hypothesis
- tobacco use
- poor sleep quality and
- poorer health-related quality of life
