Excessive screen time and poor sleep duration have significant implications for children's health and well-being. Understanding the dynamic relationship between screen time and sleep duration, as well as the impact of physical activity in this relationship, is essential for promoting healthy behaviours. The aims of this study were to: 1) investigate the bidirectional relationship between screen time and sleep duration in children, and 2) explore the mediating role of physical activity in these associations.
Methods
Data were from 2064 children (47 % girls) who responded to time-use diaries at waves 3 (age 5), 6 (age 10), and 7 (age 12) of the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children (LSAC). Cross-lagged panel modelling was conducted to test bidirectional associations between screen time and sleep duration, with the mediating role of physical activity assessed using a lagged mediation model.
Results
A bidirectional association between screen time and sleep duration across ages 10 to 12 was observed. Screen time at 10 years of age was associated with sleep duration at 12 years of age (β = −0.071 [95%CI, −0.114 to −0.015]), and sleep duration at 10 years of age was associated with screen time at 12 years of age (β = −0.048 [95%CI, −0.087 to −0.002]). Moreover, increased levels of physical activity at age 12 reduced the negative impact of both screen time on sleep duration and sleep duration on screen time during the ages of 10 and 12.
Conclusion
Findings highlight a cyclical influence where each factor impacts the other over time. Interventions aimed at reducing screen time and increasing physical activity may help mitigate the negative effects of excessive screen time on sleep.

Purpose
The aim of the study was to analyze the characteristics of otherwise healthy children with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA; OSA-I) and children with OSA and non-syndromic obesity (OSA-II) treated with long term continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or noninvasive ventilation (NIV) in 2019 in France.
Methods
Data were collected from a national survey on paediatric home noninvasive ventilatory support. CPAP/NIV initiation criteria and duration, age at CPAP/NIV initiation, equipment used and CPAP/NIV settings, and objective compliance were analyzed.
Results
Patients with OSA-I and OSA-II represented 6 % (n = 84, 71 % males) and 10 % (n = 144, 72 % males) of the national cohort, respectively. The apnea-hypopnea index (63 % vs 76 %), alone or combined with nocturnal gas exchange (25 % vs 21 %, for OSA-II and OSA-I patients respectively) were used as initiation criteria of CPAP/NIV. OSA-II patients were older at CPAP/NIV initiation (mean age 11.0 ± 4.0 vs 6.8 ± 4.5 years, p < 0.001) and were treated for a longer time (2.3 ± 2.6 vs 1.3 ± 1.5 years, p = 0.008) than OSA-I patients. NIV was used in 6 % of OSA-I patients and 13 % of OSA-II patients (p = 0.142). Both groups used preferentially a nasal mask. Mean CPAP level was higher in OSA-II patients as compared to OSA-I patients (8.7 ± 2.0 vs 7.7 ± 2.4 cmH2O, p = 0.02). Objective compliance was comparable (mean use 6.8 ± 2.6 vs 5.9 ± 3.0 h/night in OSA-I and OSA-II, respectively, p = 0.054).
Conclusion
Six and 10 % of children treated with long term CPAP/NIV in France in 2019 had OSA-I and OSA-II, respectively. Both groups were preferentially treated with CPAP and were comparable except for age, with OSA-II patients being older at CPAP/NIV initiation.
目的:本研究的目的是分析其他健康的阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停(OSA)儿童的特征;2019年,在法国,OSA- i型和OSA- ii型儿童接受长期持续气道正压通气(CPAP)或无创通气(NIV)治疗。方法:收集全国儿童家庭无创通气支持调查数据。分析CPAP/NIV启动标准和持续时间、CPAP/NIV启动时的年龄、使用的设备和CPAP/NIV设置以及客观依从性。结果:osa - 1和OSA-II患者分别占全国队列的6% (n = 84,男性71%)和10% (n = 144,男性72%)。呼吸暂停-低通气指数(63% vs 76%),单独或联合夜间气体交换(分别为25% vs 21%, OSA-II和OSA-I患者)被用作CPAP/NIV的起始标准。OSA-II型患者在CPAP/NIV启动时年龄较大(平均年龄11.0±4.0岁vs 6.8±4.5岁,p 2O, p = 0.02)。客观依从性具有可比性(OSA-I和OSA-II患者的平均使用时间分别为6.8±2.6和5.9±3.0小时/晚,p = 0.054)。结论:2019年法国接受长期CPAP/NIV治疗的儿童中,分别有6%和10%患有OSA-I和OSA-II。两组均优先接受CPAP治疗,除年龄外具有可比性,OSA-II患者在CPAP/NIV开始时年龄较大。

Objective
Sleep problems are highly prevalent and impairing in adolescents with ADHD. However, their relation with co-occurring mental health problems is still unclear. This study assessed whether adolescents with ADHD, with and without self-reported sleep problems, differ from each other in co-occurring mental health problems, and whether they differ from adolescents without ADHD. Furthermore, we examined whether the adolescents with ADHD and self-reported sleep problems do indeed have more disturbed sleep than the other two groups and lastly, whether these sleep differences are moderated by co-occurring mental health problems.
Method
Three groups of adolescents (13–17 years): 1) with ADHD and comorbid self-reported sleep problems (N = 56), 2) with ADHD but without self-reported sleep problems (N = 25), and 3) without ADHD (N = 56) were assessed. Group comparisons were done for symptoms of co-occurring mental health problems, self- and parent-reported sleep problems, and objective and subjective sleep parameters. Exploratively, moderating effects of co-occurring mental health problems on sleep differences between groups are examined.
Results
Compared to those without self-reported sleep problems, adolescents with ADHD and comorbid self-reported sleep problems experienced significantly more co-occurring symptoms of mental health problems, especially depression. They also scored higher on all sleep problems, and had a longer sleep onset latency and lower sleep efficiency based on subjective and objective sleep measures. Depression and anxiety moderated objectively measured sleep differences.
Conclusion
Co-occurring mental health problems, especially depressive symptoms, are more prevalent in adolescents with ADHD and sleep problems and partially moderate the relation with sleep. This indicates that when adolescents with ADHD present with sleep problems in clinical practice, it is essential to also assess symptoms and other mental health problems and vice-versa.

Background
Previous reports from relatively small clinical cohorts have suggested that the clinical presentation of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) differs between men and women.
Objective
We aimed to explore sex differences in clinical and polysomnographic features of OSA in a large nationwide registry.
Methods
Participants from the ongoing Turkish Sleep Apnea Database (TURKAPNE) Study from 34 centers were included in the current analysis. OSA was defined as an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) ≥5 events/hour and was classified as mild, moderate, and severe according to AHI cut-offs 5, 15, and 30 events/hour, respectively.
Results
In all, 7130 patients (2259 women) were included. OSA was observed in 6323 (88.7 %), of whom 70.2 % were male and 29.8 % were female. In the OSA group, women were older (56.7 ± 11.9 vs. 49.5 ± 11.3 years; p < 0.001) and more obese (body mass index 34.3 ± 7.2 vs. 31.4 ± 5.6 kg/m2; p < 0.001) and had lower AHI (29.8 ± 24.1 vs. 36.8 ± 26.2 events/h; p < 0.001) than men. Loud snoring and witnessed apnea were more common in men than in women whereas women were more frequently presented with insomnia, headache, and mood changes. Women had significantly less total sleep time, less sleep efficiency, and longer sleep latency compared with men (p < 0.001 for each). Additionally, comorbid diseases such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, asthma, psychiatric disorders, hypothyroidism as well as drug use were more common in women than in men independent of age and obesity (p < 0.05 for each).
Conclusions
Our results suggest significant sex differences in clinical and polysomnographic features in this nationwide Turkish adult population. Women with OSA have more symptom burden and comorbidities despite having a less severe AHI.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the sedative effects of Chrysin (CHR) along with modulatory effects on diazepam (DZP) and flumazenil (FLU) in an animal sleep model produced by thiopental sodium (TS). Additionally, we explored the pharmacokinetics and potential GABAA receptor interactions of CHR through computational studies. Swiss albino mice were treated with intraperitoneal administration of CHR (5 and 10 mg/kg), DZP (2 mg/kg), and FLU (0.1 mg/kg) either alone or in combination. Sleeping onset and duration were measured following TS administration. Molecular docking was performed to investigate CHR's binding affinity with GABAA (PDB: 6X3X) receptors. Results found that CHR significantly (p < 0.05) reduced sleep latency and increased sleep duration in a dose-dependent manner compared to the control group. The highest dose (CHR-10) exhibited the most potent significant sedative effect with onset (11.57 ± 1.74 min) and duration (172.86 ± 7.37 min). Combination therapy of CHR-10 with DZP resulted in synergistic effects, further enhancing sleep duration. In molecular docking, CHR demonstrated a higher binding affinity (−8.9 kcal/mol) for GABAA receptors compared to DZP (−8.7 kcal/mol) and FLU (−6.6 kcal/mol). CHR also showed favorable pharmacokinetic properties with high intestinal absorption and low toxicity. CHR exhibits promising sedative activity, with the potential to enhance the effects of traditional sedatives like DZP. However, further research, including clinical trials and detailed mechanistic studies, is warranted to explore its full therapeutic potential.

Background
Short sleep duration is common in the pediatric population and is associated with an increased risk of high carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT), a marker of subclinical atherosclerosis. However, little is known regarding whether changes in sleep duration status over time can alter the risk of high cIMT in children.
Objectives
To examine the association between changes in sleep duration status and high cIMT in a cohort study of Chinese children.
Methods
A total of 1115 children aged 6–11 years were enrolled in 2017 and then followed up in 2021 in the Huantai Childhood Cardiovascular Health Cohort Study. Children were categorized into four groups based on their sleep duration status (short vs. normal) at baseline and follow-up: persistent normal sleep duration, incident short sleep duration, resolved short sleep duration, and persistent short sleep duration. High cIMT was defined as cIMT levels ≥ age- and sex-specific 90th percentile values of this population.
Results
Compared with children who maintained normal sleep duration, those with incident short sleep duration (odds ratio [OR]: 1.71, 95 % confidence interval [CI]: 1.05–2.77) or persistent short sleep duration (OR: 4.07, 95 % CI: 2.10–7.89) had a significantly increased risk of high cIMT at follow-up. Conversely, children who had short sleep duration at baseline but normal sleep duration at follow-up did not have an increased risk of high cIMT (OR: 1.08, 95 % CI: 0.47–2.49).
Conclusion
The development or persistence of short sleep duration is associated with an increased risk of high cIMT in children, whereas the resolution of short sleep duration may reduce such risk. These findings underscore the importance of preventing and managing short sleep duration to promote cardiovascular health in children.

Purpose
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) subjects show significant white matter injury, including myelin changes in several brain areas, potentially from impaired glial cells, contributing to increased iron levels that escalate neurodegeneration, but brain iron loads are unclear. Our aim was to examine regional brain iron load, using T2∗-relaxometry, in OSA adults before and after continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment over controls.
Methods
We performed T2∗-weighted imaging using a 3.0-T MRI scanner on 35 OSA adults, who were followed after 3- and 9- mo CPAP treatment, and 67 controls. Using T2∗-weighted images, R2∗maps were calculated, normalized, and smoothed. The smoothed R2∗ maps, as well as average R2∗ values extracted from different brain regions were compared between OSA and controls using ANCOVA (covariates: age and sex) and paired t-tests in OSA adults.
Results
Multiple brain areas in OSA showed increased R2∗ values before CPAP, indicative of higher iron, over controls and included the amygdala, insula, hippocampus, cerebellum, medulla, and pons nearby areas. The R2∗ values continued to increase in multiple sites at 3-mo CPAP treatment in OSA, and those sites included the cerebellum, thalamus, and cingulate. However, after 9-mo CPAP usage, none of the brain regions showed increased R2∗ values in OSA over baseline.
Conclusions
OSA patients show increased iron content in multiple sites over controls, which progressively increased in several sites, even after 3-mo CPAP use, and started to clear after 9-mo. The findings suggest a means for intervention to lessen brain injury by interfering with iron accumulation in OSA.

Study objectives
To examine how past studies have conceptualised sleep discrepancy and identify and evaluate the methods used for its measurement and analysis.
Method
We searched MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, CINAHL Plus, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science in April 2022 for studies comparing self-report and objective measures of sleep. Methodological information was extracted from relevant studies and included measures of self-report and objective sleep, sleep variables (e.g., total sleep time), derived discrepancy indices (e.g., difference scores), handling of repeated measurements, and methods of measure comparison (e.g., Bland-Altman analyses).
Results
Two hundred and forty-four relevant records were identified. Studies varied according to objective sleep measure; actigraphy algorithm, software, and rest interval; polysomnography setting and scoring criteria; sleep variables; self-report sleep measure; number of nights of objective recording; time frame of self-report measure; self-report sleep variable definition; sleep discrepancy derived index; presence and handling of repeated measurements; and statistical method for measure comparison.
Conclusions
Sleep discrepancy was predominantly conceived as discordance in sleep states or sleep time variables, and various forms of this discordance differed in their conceptual distance to sleep misperception. Furthermore, studies varied considerably in methodology with critical conceptual and practical implications that have received little attention to date. Substantive methodological issues were also identified relating to the use of derived indices for operationalising sleep discrepancy, defining objective sleep onset latency, calculating actigraphy rest intervals, measuring correlation and concordance, averaging sleep variables across nights, and defining sleep quality discrepancy. Solutions and recommendations for these issues are discussed.
研究目标:检查过去的研究是如何将睡眠差异概念化的,并确定和评估用于测量和分析的方法。方法:我们于2022年4月检索MEDLINE、Embase、PsycINFO、CINAHL Plus、PubMed、Scopus和Web of Science,以比较自我报告和客观睡眠测量的研究。方法信息从相关研究中提取,包括自我报告和客观睡眠、睡眠变量(如总睡眠时间)、衍生差异指数(如差异得分)、重复测量的处理和测量比较方法(如Bland-Altman分析)。结果:共鉴定出244份相关记录。根据客观睡眠测量,研究结果有所不同;活动描记算法、软件、休息间隔;多导睡眠图设置和评分标准;睡眠变量;自述睡眠量表;客观记录的夜数;自我报告测量的时间框架;自述睡眠变量定义;睡眠差异衍生指数;重复测量的存在和处理;并采用统计学方法进行计量比较。结论:睡眠差异主要被认为是睡眠状态或睡眠时间变量的不一致,各种形式的这种不一致与睡眠误解的概念距离不同。此外,研究在方法上有很大差异,具有重要的概念和实际意义,迄今很少受到注意。实质性的方法学问题也被确定为与使用衍生指数来操作睡眠差异、定义客观睡眠开始潜伏期、计算活动图休息间隔、测量相关性和一致性、平均夜间睡眠变量和定义睡眠质量差异有关。讨论了这些问题的解决方案和建议。

Sleep concerns have become increasingly common over the past few decades. This study outlines the perceived needs and gaps in pediatric sleep education, drawing insights from a diverse international cohort of pediatric sleep health professionals.
Methods
International Pediatric Sleep Association (IPSA) members were invited to complete an online survey examining a variety of topics related to pediatric sleep education developed by the education committee.
Results
There were 111 survey respondents, largely comprised of medical healthcare providers, representing 39 countries. The majority of respondents worked with children and adolescents aged 0–18 years and endorsed the importance of both comprehensive and developmentally appropriate screening for sleep issues in clinical practice, ranging from bedtime behaviors and daytime dysfunction to sleep-related breathing and movement disorder symptoms. Respondents also stressed the importance of including diverse topics in pediatric sleep education, including behavioral sleep issues and sleep in neurodevelopmental disorders, thus underscoring the need for comprehensive training programs. Participants advocated for improved access to screening tools and intervention protocols. There was an identified notable gap in formal sleep education during professional training. Potential barriers identified included time constraints and a lack of resources.
Preferences for training online and through professional organization websites underscored the importance of accessible learning platforms. Integrating online resources into education programs could enhance accessibility and engagement.
Conclusion
The demand for enhanced sleep education underscores the complexity and significance of pediatric sleep health and highlights an urgent need for tailored and accessible sleep education programs to address the multifaceted challenges in pediatric sleep. Addressing educational needs helps cultivate a skilled workforce to manage pediatric sleep disorders and promote healthy sleep practices. Teaching activities and collaboration play crucial roles in advancing the pediatric sleep community.
