Neuroimaging studies have revealed disturbances in brain functional connectivity (FC) after one night of sleep deprivation (SD). These researches explored the alterations of FC using classical regions of interest (ROI)-based analysis or functional connectivity density. However, these methods need for a priori information about the selected ROIs and a specific correlation threshold to define a connection between two ROIs or voxels, which may bring inconsistent results. In the present study, we adopted a data-driven, whole brain voxel-based graph-theoretical approach, intrinsic connectivity distribution (ICD) analysis, to examine changes of brain connectivity after SD in 52 normal young subjects without any prior knowledge. The cross-hemisphere ICD (ch-ICD) analysis was also performed to discover the effect of SD on cerebral lateralization. We found that sleep-deprived subjects showed significant reduced ICD in default mode network (DMN) and limbic network, and increased ICD in sensorimotor network. Furthermore, after SD, the ICD in the right precuneus showed significant correlation with psychomotor vigilance test (PVT) performance following the stepwise regression analysis after Bonferroni correction (ICD = 0.43 - 0.62∗10 % fast reaction time + 0.31∗the standard deviation of reaction time, p = 0.0012). Follow-up seed-based FC analyses in the right precuneus revealed decreased FC to regions in DMN, visual network, ventral attentional network and frontal-parietal network. Nevertheless, no striking difference of ch-ICD was found following SD. In conclusion, these findings suggested that DMN, especially precuneus may be hubs of FC disturbances associated with vigilance after SD, and may provide new insights into the intervention for SD.
神经影像学研究发现,剥夺睡眠一晚后,大脑功能连接(FC)会出现紊乱。这些研究利用基于感兴趣区(ROI)的经典分析或功能连接密度来探讨功能连接的改变。然而,这些方法需要先验地了解所选 ROI 的信息,并需要特定的相关性阈值来定义两个 ROI 或体素之间的连接,这可能会带来不一致的结果。在本研究中,我们采用了一种数据驱动的、基于全脑体素的图论方法--内在连通性分布(ICD)分析,在没有任何先验知识的情况下研究了52名正常年轻受试者在自毁后大脑连通性的变化。我们还进行了跨大脑半球 ICD(ch-ICD)分析,以发现自毁对大脑侧化的影响。我们发现,睡眠不足的受试者默认模式网络(DMN)和边缘网络的ICD明显减少,而感觉运动网络的ICD则明显增加。此外,在SD后,经Bonferroni校正后的逐步回归分析显示,右侧楔前叶的ICD与精神运动警觉性测试(PVT)成绩有显著相关性(ICD = 0.43 - 0.62∗10%快速反应时间 + 0.31∗反应时间的标准偏差,P = 0.0012)。对右侧楔前叶进行的基于种子的后续 FC 分析表明,DMN、视觉网络、腹侧注意网络和额叶-顶叶网络区域的 FC 下降。尽管如此,SD后的ch-ICD并未发现显著差异。总之,这些研究结果表明,DMN,尤其是楔前区可能是SD后与警觉相关的FC紊乱的枢纽,并可能为SD的干预提供新的见解。

Background
Falls are a major cause of hospitalization fractures and functional decline in older adults. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a highly prevalent sleep breathing disorder in older adults, has emerged as a potentially modifiable risk factor for falls. A small number of uncontrolled studies suggest OSA therapy by continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) may reduce fall risk. We aim to describe the design of a randomized clinical trial that will evaluate if six months of CPAP intervention can significantly reduce fall risk markers in older adults with OSA.
Methods
140 adults aged ≥60 years at risk of falls with diagnosed and untreated OSA will be randomized to receive CPAP and usual care for fall risk or only usual care for fall risk. The primary outcome will be the difference in fall risk scores, derived from the physiological profile assessment, between the two arms six months post-randomization. Secondary outcomes will include differences in gait, quality of life, sleep quality (self-reported and objective home-based monitoring), psychological well-being, cognitive function, physical performance, muscle strength, and body composition at six months post-randomization.
Results
Data will be analyzed on an intention-to-treat basis. Ethical approval was obtained from Southern Adelaide Clinical Human Research Ethics Committee in July 2023 (reference: 2023/HRE00081). Outcomes will be disseminated through publication in peer-reviewed journals and presentations at international conferences. Trial registration number: Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry (ACTRN) 12623000965606.
Conclusion
The findings from this study will provide insight into the causal associations between OSA and fall risk and contribute to high quality evidence required to inform larger clinical trials and future guidelines for fall prevention.
背景:跌倒是老年人住院骨折和功能衰退的主要原因。阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停(OSA)是一种在老年人中非常普遍的睡眠呼吸障碍,已成为导致跌倒的潜在风险因素。少量无对照研究表明,通过持续气道正压(CPAP)治疗 OSA 可降低跌倒风险。我们旨在描述一项随机临床试验的设计,该试验将评估为期 6 个月的 CPAP 干预是否能显著降低患有 OSA 的老年人的跌倒风险指标。方法:140 名年龄≥60 岁、有跌倒风险且确诊为 OSA 且未接受治疗的成年人将被随机分配到接受 CPAP 和常规护理以降低跌倒风险,或仅接受常规护理以降低跌倒风险。主要结果是两组患者在随机后 6 个月根据生理特征评估得出的跌倒风险评分的差异。次要结果将包括随机后 6 个月的步态、生活质量、睡眠质量(自我报告和客观家庭监测)、心理健康、认知功能、体能表现、肌肉力量和身体成分的差异:数据将在意向治疗的基础上进行分析。该研究已于2023年7月获得南阿德莱德临床人类研究伦理委员会的伦理批准(编号:2023/HRE00081)。研究结果将在同行评审期刊上发表,并在国际会议上进行展示:试验注册号:澳大利亚-新西兰临床试验注册中心(ACTRN)12623000965606:本研究的结果将有助于深入了解 OSA 与跌倒风险之间的因果关系,并为更大规模的临床试验和未来的跌倒预防指南提供所需的高质量证据。

Objective
What are young children trying to express when they cry at night? According to Sadeh, parental beliefs about why their child is crying may play a role in the development and persistence of their child's insomnia. The aim of this study was to create a scale that specifically assesses these parental interpretations in different dimensions.
Methods
Children aged between 6 months and 3 years with either good sleep habits or behavioural insomnia were recruited. An initial, 20-item scale for the beliefs of why one's baby is crying at night was developed, with all items on a 7-point Likert span. The results of this scale from a large sample were then submitted to Exploratory (EFA) and confirmatory (CFA) factor analyses to converge on a final version and evaluate its psychometric properties and validity.
Results
Among the 1009 subjects included in the analyses (46.2 % female, mean age: 1.63 ± 0.73, good sleepers n = 425 and bad sleepers n = 584). After the factor analysis was performed, a 14-item scale with 4 subscales quantifying each interpretation type resulted: namely, “Need for attachment” (5 items), “Need to cry before falling asleep” (3 items), “Leaving a child to cry during the night is traumatizing for the child” (4 items) and “Is in pain” (2 items). The CFA further confirmed an appropriate fit. The most divergent subscale between groups was the “Need for attachment” subscale.
Conclusion
This study proposes the first scale known to focus exclusively on parent interpretations of their child's night-time crying, without taking into account their nursing behaviours. It provides a clinical tool for more effectively discussing with parents, in order to address potential dysfunctional beliefs in the context of early childhood insomnia complaints, as well as a research tool for considering cognitive dimensions in the aetiology and treatment of behavioural insomnia.

Narcolepsy is a rare, chronic neurological disorder characterized by a dysregulated sleep-wake cycle, with core clinical features including excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), cataplexy, hypnopompic/hypnagogic hallucinations, and sleep paralysis. Several treatment options are available for the symptomatic management of narcolepsy, but they have limitations. Comorbidities of narcolepsy further limit the treatment choices. Blocking of histamine 3 (H3) receptors has been demonstrated to be a viable approach for the management of symptoms of narcolepsy. Samelisant (SUVN-G3031) is a new H3 receptor inverse agonist. The efficacy, safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of Samelisant in narcolepsy patients were evaluated in a phase 2, double-blind, placebo-controlled study (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT04072380). Patients diagnosed with narcolepsy according to the International Classification of Sleep Disorders criteria and having an Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) score of ≥12 and a mean Maintenance of Wakefulness Test (MWT) time of <12 min across the 4 sessions at baseline were enrolled. The total study duration was up to 7 weeks, which included a screening period of 4 weeks, a treatment period of 2 weeks, and a safety follow-up 1 week after the last study drug administration. The primary efficacy measure was the change in total ESS score compared to placebo. Secondary and exploratory assessments included the Clinical Global Impression of Severity, MWT, Clinical Global Impression of Change, Patient Global Impression of Change and cataplexy rate. Safety assessments included monitoring adverse events (AEs) and laboratory assessments. Of the 426 patients screened, 190 were randomized. The safety and intention-to-treat population included 188 and 164 patients, respectively. A statistically significant treatment effect of Samelisant was observed on the primary endpoint, indicating improvements in EDS. The treatment's impact on EDS was also evident on the other patients' and clinicians' perspectives scales. The AEs reported in ≥5 % patients in any treatment groups were insomnia, abnormal dreams, nausea, and hot flush. Global phase 3 studies and long-term safety and efficacy assessments of Samelisant are planned to reaffirm the current findings.

Background
Chronic, mildly insufficient sleep is associated with increased cardiometabolic risk, but whether the regulation of thyroid hormones and related growth factors are mechanisms of this association is unclear. We investigated whether 6 wk of mild sleep restriction (SR) alters levels of free thyroxine (FT4), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), and fibroblast growth factor-21 (FGF-21), a modulator of FT4, in adults with adequate habitual sleep (AS; 7–9 h/night).
Methods
Healthy adults participated in one of two randomized, crossover studies with identical 6-wk intervention phases: AS and SR (1.5 h/night < AS). Fasted blood samples were collected at baseline and endpoint of each phase. Outcomes were concentrations of FT4, TSH, and FGF-21 (women only). Linear mixed models tested the effects of SR vs AS on the outcomes, adjusting for baseline levels, week, sex, and sex-by-condition interaction.
Results
Thirty participants (20 women; 73% racial/ethnic minority; age 21–64 y [M±SD = 36.2 ± 12.8 y]) were included. In the full sample, no effects of SR on FT4 (β±SE = 0.02 ± 0.04, p = 0.654) or TSH (β±SE = −0.02 ± 0.04, p = 0.650) were observed; however, there were sex-by-condition interactions for both FT4 (p-interaction = 0.056) and TSH (p-interaction = 0.049). In sex-stratified analyses, TSH was reduced in SR vs. AS in women (β±SE = −0.11 ± 0.04, p = 0.011, Cohen's f2 = 0.55) but not men (β±SE = 0.09 ± 0.08, p = 0.261). Among women (n = 17), FGF-21 was not significantly different between conditions (β±SE = 8.51 ± 17.70, p = 0.638).
Conclusion
Prolonged mild SR reduces TSH in women, whereas FT4 and FGF-21 remain unaffected compared with AS. If sustained, disruptions to the thyrotropic axis in women may contribute to their more pronounced cardiometabolic risk in response to SR compared with men.

Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by a variety of neurological and systemic symptoms, including cerebellar ataxia, cataracts, tendon xanthomas, and polyneuropathy. This study aimed to investigate sleep patterns and disorders in four patients diagnosed with cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis. All participants reported significant sleep disturbances, and objective assessments confirmed the presence of insomnia, excessive daytime sleepiness, obstructive sleep apnea, and periodic limb movements.

Cheese consumption may play a role in mitigating sleep apnea risk, according to our Mendelian randomization (MR) study. Sleep apnea, a prevalent disorder associated with various health complications, affects millions worldwide, generating interest in dietary interventions. This study analyzed data from the UK Biobank and the FinnGen Biobank, focusing on cheese intake and its potential impact on sleep apnea through various biomarkers. Results revealed a significant inverse association between cheese consumption and sleep apnea risk (OR=0.724, p=0.00478), indicating that higher cheese intake is linked to a reduced likelihood of developing the disorder. Additionally, the analysis identified six biomarkers, including aspartate aminotransferase (1.33 %), urea (3.85 %), cystatin C (2.98 %), sex hormone-binding globulin (1.78 %), testosterone (1.94 %), and diastolic blood pressure (5.46 %), as mediators of this relationship. Notably, cheese consumption influenced levels of 23 biomarkers. These findings underscore the potential of dietary interventions in public health strategies aimed at decreasing sleep apnea prevalence and associated health risks. Overall, this study highlights the complex connections between diet, biomarkers, and sleep apnea, emphasizing the necessity for further research across diverse populations to enhance the generalizability of these results.

Background
This study aimed to investigate the developmental trajectories of sleep disturbance symptoms and examine whether specific trajectory memberships of sleep disturbance symptoms could prospectively predict suicidal ideation (SI) among a large sample of Chinese adolescents over one year.
Methods
A three-wave longitudinal study was conducted from April 2021 to June 2022, with a sample of 19,095 adolescents from Shenzhen in Guangdong Province, China (51.2 % males; mean age = 12.4 ± 1.6 years at baseline). Socio-demographics (at baseline), SI, sleep disturbance symptoms (at each assessment), depressive symptoms (at the last follow-up), and negative life events (at two follow-ups) were assessed. Data were analyzed employing Growth Mixture Modeling and binary logistic regressions.
Results
The Growth Mixture Modeling identified four trajectories of sleep disturbance symptoms over one year: resistant group (76.2 %), delayed-dysfunction group (8.8 %), recovery group (7.4 %), and chronic-dysfunction group (7.6 %). Binary logistic regression analysis revealed that adolescents in the group of delayed-dysfunction (OR = 2.86, 95 % CI = 2.51–3.27) and chronic-dysfunction (OR = 2.14, 95 % CI = 1.84–2.47) exhibited higher risks of developing SI compared to those in the resistant group, even after controlling for socio-demographics, negative life events, depressive symptoms, and baseline SI.
Conclusions
These findings underscore the importance of identifying individuals at higher risks of sleep disturbance and providing personalized and effective mental health services to reduce the incidence of SI.
研究背景本研究旨在调查睡眠障碍症状的发展轨迹,并研究睡眠障碍症状的特定轨迹成员是否能在一年内预测中国青少年自杀意念(SI):从2021年4月至2022年6月,我们对中国广东省深圳市的19095名青少年(51.2%为男性;基线时平均年龄为(12.4 ± 1.6)岁)进行了三波纵向研究。对社会人口统计学(基线时)、SI、睡眠障碍症状(每次评估时)、抑郁症状(最后一次随访时)和负面生活事件(两次随访时)进行了评估。采用成长混合模型和二元逻辑回归对数据进行了分析:成长混合模型确定了一年内睡眠障碍症状的四种轨迹:抵抗组(76.2%)、功能延迟组(8.8%)、恢复组(7.4%)和慢性功能障碍组(7.6%)。二元逻辑回归分析显示,即使在控制了社会人口统计学、负面生活事件、抑郁症状和基线 SI 后,功能延迟组(OR = 2.86,95 % CI = 2.51-3.27)和慢性功能障碍组(OR = 2.14,95 % CI = 1.84-2.47)的青少年患 SI 的风险仍高于抵抗组:这些发现强调了识别睡眠障碍高风险人群并提供个性化和有效的心理健康服务以降低 SI 发生率的重要性。

Background
Despite the effectiveness of digital cognitive behavior therapy for insomnia (dCBT-I) in treating comorbid insomnia and depression, its accessibility and high dropout rates among adolescents and young adults remain significant limitations. A potential solution could be nurse-led dCBT-I. This study evaluates the feasibility and efficacy of nurse-led dCBT-I in reducing insomnia symptoms and improving mood in adolescents and young adults with depression.
Aims
Our objective was to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of a nurse-led dCBT-I in reducing insomnia severity among adolescents and young adults with depression.
Methods
A parallel-group randomized controlled trial involved 40 adolescents and young adults aged 14 to 24 with major depressive disorder and insomnia. They were assigned to receive either a nurse-led 6-week dCBT-I or usual care. The study evaluated outcomes such as insomnia severity, depression severity, and sleep parameters. Measurements were taken at baseline, immediately after the intervention (6 weeks), and during a follow-up at 18 weeks.
Results
The intention-to-treat analysis was performed using a generalized linear mixed model (GLMM). Results indicated that, compared to the control group, participants in the intervention group exhibited a significant reduction in insomnia severity at the 18-week follow-up, with a large effect size (Cohen's d = −0.965, p < 0.001). Additionally, the intervention group demonstrated a significant decrease in depression severity both at the end of the intervention (Cohen's d = −0.686, p = 0.001) and at the 18-week follow-up (Cohen's d = −0.508, p = 0.011), indicating a medium effect size.
Conclusions
Nurse-led dCBT-I is an effective treatment for adolescents and young adults with depression and insomnia.
背景尽管数字失眠认知行为疗法(dCBT-I)在治疗合并失眠和抑郁方面效果显著,但其在青少年和年轻成年人中的可及性和高辍学率仍然是其明显的局限性。护士主导的 dCBT-I 可能是一个潜在的解决方案。本研究评估了护士指导的 dCBT-I 在减轻青少年抑郁症患者的失眠症状和改善其情绪方面的可行性和有效性。他们被分配接受为期 6 周、由护士指导的 dCBT-I 或常规护理。研究评估了失眠严重程度、抑郁严重程度和睡眠参数等结果。结果采用广义线性混合模型(GLMM)进行了意向治疗分析。结果表明,与对照组相比,干预组的参与者在 18 周的随访中失眠严重程度明显降低,且效果显著(Cohen's d = -0.965, p <0.001)。此外,干预组的抑郁严重程度在干预结束时(Cohen's d = -0.686,p = 0.001)和 18 周随访时(Cohen's d = -0.508,p = 0.011)均有显著下降,显示出中等效应规模。
