Objective: To investigate the changes in the wavelet entropy during wake and different sleep stages in patients with insomnia disorder. Methods: Sixteen patients with insomnia disorder and sixteen normal controls were enrolled. They underwent scale assessment and two consecutive nights of polysomnography (PSG). Wavelet entropy analysis of electroencephalogram (EEG) signals recorded from all participants in the two groups was performed. The changes in the integral wavelet entropy (En) and individual-scale wavelet entropy (En(a)) during wake and different sleep stages in the two groups were observed, and the differences between the two groups were compared. Results: The insomnia disorder group exhibited lower En during the wake stage, and higher En during the N3 stage compared with the normal control group (all P < 0.001). In terms of En(a), patients with insomnia disorder exhibited lower En(a) in the β and α frequency bands during the wake stage compared with normal controls (β band, P < 0.01; α band, P < 0.001), whereas they showed higher En(a) in the β and α frequency bands during the N3 stage than normal controls (β band, P < 0.001; α band, P < 0.001). Conclusion: Wavelet entropy can reflect the changes in the complexity of EEG signals during wake and different sleep stages in patients with insomnia disorder, which provides a new method and insights about understanding of pathophysiological mechanisms of insomnia disorder. Wavelet entropy provides an objective indicator for assessing sleep quality.

Purpose: To explore whether sleep electroencephalogram (EEG) microarousals of different standard durations predict daytime mood and attention performance in healthy individuals after mild sleep restriction. Participants and Methods: Sixteen (nine female) healthy college students were recruited to examine the correlations between nocturnal EEG microarousals of different standard durations (≥ 3 s, ≥ 5 s, ≥ 7 s, ≥ 9 s) under mild sleep restriction (1.5 h) and the following morning’s subjective alertness, mood, sustained attention, and selective attention task performance. Results: Results revealed that mild sleep restriction significantly reduced subjective alertness and positive mood, while having no significant effect on negative mood, sustained attention and selective attention performance. The number of microarousals (≥ 5 s) was negatively associated with positive mood at 6:30. The number of microarousals was significantly and positively correlated with the response time difference value of disengagement component of the selective attention task at around 7:30 (≥ 5 s and ≥ 7 s) and 9:00 (≥ 5 s). The number of microarousals (≥ 7 s) was significantly and positively correlated with the inaccuracy difference value of orientation component of the selective attention task at around 9:00. Conclusion: The number of EEG microarousals during sleep in healthy adults with mild sleep restriction was significantly and negatively related to their daytime positive affect while positively associated with the deterioration of disengagement and orientation of selective attention performance, but this link is dependent on the standard duration of microarousals, test time and the type of task.

Background: Observational studies have yielded conflicting evidence concerning the relationships between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and bone mineral density (BMD). As the exact causal inferences remain inconclusive, we conducted a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) to identify the causal associations between OSA and BMD. Methods: Single-nucleotide polymorphisms associated with OSA were extracted from the FinnGen study. Summary statistics for 10 BMD measured at different age or skeletal sites were obtained from the publicly available IEU GWAS database. Inverse-variance weighted (IVW) method was chosen as the primary analysis, combined with several sensitivity analyses to evaluate the robustness of results. The study design included two-sample MR and network MR. Results: Our primary MR analysis revealed that genetically predicted OSA was positively linked to increased forearm BMD (β = 0.24, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.06– 0.41, p = 0.009) and heel BMD (β=0.10, 95% CI = 0.02– 0.18, p = 0.018), while no significant causal relationships were observed between OSA and total body BMD, lumbar spine BMD, or femoral neck BMD (all p > 0.05). Network MR suggests that OSA might act as a mediating factor in the effect of BMI on forearm BMD and heel BMD, with a mediated portion estimated at 73% and 84%, respectively. Conclusion: Our findings provide support for a causal relationship between genetically predicted OSA and increased forearm BMD and heel BMD. Furthermore, our results suggest that OSA may play a role in mediating the influence of BMI on BMD.
背景:关于阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停(OSA)与骨矿物质密度(BMD)之间的关系,观察性研究得出了相互矛盾的证据。由于确切的因果推论仍无定论,我们进行了双样本孟德尔随机化(MR)研究,以确定 OSA 与 BMD 之间的因果关系:从芬兰基因研究中提取了与 OSA 相关的单核苷酸多态性。从公开的 IEU GWAS 数据库中获取了在不同年龄或骨骼部位测量的 10 个 BMD 的汇总统计数据。研究选择了反方差加权法(IVW)作为主要分析方法,并结合几种敏感性分析来评估结果的稳健性。研究设计包括双样本 MR 和网络 MR:我们的主要磁共振分析显示,遗传预测的 OSA 与前臂 BMD(β=0.24,95% 置信区间 [CI]:0.06- 0.41,p = 0.009)和足跟 BMD(β=0.10,95% CI = 0.02-0.18,p = 0.018)的增加呈正相关,而在 OSA 与全身 BMD、腰椎 BMD 或股骨颈 BMD 之间未观察到显著的因果关系(所有 p 均为 0.05)。网络MR表明,OSA可能是BMI对前臂BMD和足跟BMD影响的中介因素,估计中介部分分别为73%和84%:我们的研究结果支持了遗传预测的 OSA 与前臂 BMD 和足跟 BMD 增加之间的因果关系。此外,我们的研究结果表明,OSA 可能对 BMI 对 BMD 的影响起到了中介作用。

Purpose: In this study, we established the Chinese Clinical Sleep Database (CCSD), aiming to provide a safe, scalable, and user-friendly database that includes high-quality clinical data from Chinese population to facilitate sleep research. Material and Methods: We collect individual’s demographic data, scales, anthropometric measurements, clinical diagnosis, and polysomnography (PSG) recordings from the routine medical process of sleep medicine centers using standardized procedures. The distributed cluster storage technology are utilized to store these data. The structured data are stored in a high-performance MySQL database, while the unstructured data are stored in an object storage service. And we have developed an online data platform to share and manage our data. Results: The data collection has been conducted in three hospitals. In the preliminary stage of data collection (from October 18, 2022 to September 4, 2023), our database included a total of 1183 patients. Among them, 56.8% were male and their ages ranged from 3 to 88 years. These patients were diagnosed with various types of sleep disorders. Conclusion: Since the CCSD’s inception, it has demonstrated good stability, security, and scalability. As an public database, the CCSD also exhibits user-friendliness. The CCSD contains comprehensive clinical data, which can contribute to the advancement of the diagnosis and treatment strategies for sleep disorders, ultimately promoting sleep health.

Purpose: Healthy sleep is essential for the physical, cognitive, and social development of children. Several studies have reported the increase in digital media use in preschool children and its association with impaired sleep. However, there is relatively little evidence on the effects of book reading as a potentially safe alternative. The objective of this study, therefore, was to investigate whether sleep in children could benefit from book reading, and whether the negative effects of media use on sleep can be mitigated by substituting book reading for screen time. Participants and Methods: We used longitudinal data from three consecutive waves of the SPATZ Health study, including children at the ages of 4 (n=581), 5 (n=508), and 6 (n=426) years. All data were collected by self-administered questionnaires. Parent-reported child sleep was assessed by the Children’s Sleep Habits Questionnaire. Results: Across the three waves, screen-based media use increased and was associated with lower sleep quality. In contrast, the time spent with book reading decreased; however, book reading appeared to be beneficial for children’s sleep. Substitution models revealed that the theoretical substitution of an equal amount of book reading for 50% of the time spent with screen-based media benefits several domains of preschoolers’ sleep health, including parasomnias, sleep anxiety, daytime sleepiness, and sleep onset delay. Conclusion: Besides implications for population-wide and individual prevention, book reading may also be incorporated as a useful intervention to improve sleep quality in children who are already affected by sleep problems. Given that book reading is perceived as a safe alternative, the presented evidence may suffice to support recommendations in this direction.

Purpose: Both subjective and objective evaluations are essential for the treatment of insomnia. Lemborexant has been shown to be effective in the long-term based solely on a subjective basis, and no long-term objective measures have been evaluated under natural sleep conditions. Small, lightweight sleep electroencephalogram (EEG) monitor was used, instead of polysomnography, to objectively evaluate sleep at home 4 and 12 weeks after lemborexant treatment. Patients and Methods: Adults and elderly subjects with insomnia disorder, per the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, were enrolled in this open-label, single-arm, single-center trial. Objective and subjective measures of sleep were prospectively assessed. Sleep disturbance, excessive sleepiness, and depressive symptoms were assessed using questionnaires. Results: A total of 45 subjects were screened, of which 33 were enrolled. Paired t-tests were conducted to evaluate changes in sleep variables and compared with the baseline; subjects showed significant improvements in objective sleep efficiency (SE) and subjective sleep parameters at weeks 4 and 12 following treatment with lemborexant. When baseline values were taken into account, a repeated-multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) revealed statistically significant changes in the objective measures. Sleep disturbance, excessive sleepiness, and depressive symptoms improved after three months of lemborexant treatment. Conclusion: Furthermore, lemborexant therapy improved nocturnal sleep, when measured objectively using sleep EEG monitoring at home, and improved daytime sleepiness and depressive symptoms in older adults with insomnia disorder.
