Filter by:Subjects will complete an electronic consent form and then fill out questionnaires on a tablet computer. The answers to the questions will be recorded to a secure electronic database, along with the results of a clinical overnight sleep study performed separately from this research study (this research study will not perform any overnight visits). After the overnight study diagnosis researchers will see which answers are most commonly given in association with each diagnosis. In addition, we will assess to what extent the sleep disorder impacts the patient's perception of his/her quality of life.
There is evidence that survivors of childhood cancer have a high prevalence of poor sleep, including symptoms of insomnia. Insomnia is highly comorbid and has been associated with impaired cognitive performance, a range of psychiatric disorders, cardiovascular disease, and reduced quality of life. However, we still lack knowledge about the direct impact of available internet-based insomnia treatment programs for survivors of childhood cancer experiencing insomnia, in addition to how improving insomnia symptoms impacts neurocognitive function and late health morbidities in this population. Therefore, in this study, we will utilize the resources available in the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study (CCSS) to use an accepted, established, efficacious internet-delivered CBTi insomnia treatment program and evaluate the efficacy of this program in adult survivors of childhood cancer. Positive results from this study and our use of an internet-based intervention are likely generalizable and be scalable to the large and geographically diverse population of childhood cancer survivors with chronic health conditions. Primary Objective To examine the efficacy of an eHealth intervention for improving symptoms of insomnia among adult survivors of childhood cancer. Secondary Objectives To examine the impact of an eHealth intervention for insomnia on the clinical severity of insomnia symptoms in adult survivors of childhood cancer. To determine whether treatment of insomnia symptoms will improve neurocognitive function in adult survivors of childhood cancer with both insomnia and neurocognitive impairment. To explore the mediating effects of improved neurocognitive function, emotional distress, and cardiovascular health on the association between insomnia symptoms and quality of life.
Sleep changes rapidly during the first year of life. Brain maturation is accompanied by sleep consolidation in several episode during day and night (daytime naps and night sleep) and progressive organization during the 24h period (more wake during day et more sleep during night). In the first months of life, sleep episodes are frequently interrupted by wake, possibly induced by multiple external and internal stimuli. One of this stimulus could be bladder voiding that is particularly frequent in babies. Only one team worked on the link between sleep and bladder voiding and reported that bladder voiding was associated with cortical arousal during a daytime nap in a little group of babies. In this study, investigators propose to study the relationship between sleep and bladder voiding in a bigger group of infant and during daytime but also nighttime sleep.
Participants will download a phone-tracking app for a week to track phone usage, providing objective data on usage patterns. Quantitative tasks and questionnaires will also be carried out before and after the tracking period.
The purpose of this study is to look at how sleep disordered breathing (SDB) and not getting enough sleep each night contribute to daytime sleepiness. The investigators also want to determine the treatment that works best for improving daytime sleepiness. In this study, the investigators are comparing 2 programs that may improve symptoms of daytime sleepiness.
Achieving the correct quantity and quality of sleep is essential for the health and recovery processes of the athlete; night rest is often negatively influenced by many variables, including: high training loads, long-range trips, evening competitions, and / or high levels of anxiety and stress. High training loads can therefore have negative influences both on sleep but also on the risk of injury in athletes. Understanding and studying, in different sports, how sexual / masturbatory activity can influence sleep has primary importance for athletic and medical staff of athletes with the ultimate aim of preserving sports performance and reducing the risk of injuries. The primary objective of this experimentation is to explore the perceived relationship between sexual activity (or masturbation), sleep quality and sleep latency in a population of athletes.
This randomized, controlled study will compare Mindfulness Awareness Practices for Insomnia (MAP-I) to sleep health education (SHE) in subjects receiving autologous hematopoietic cell transplant for multiple myeloma.
Summary of Study Protocol. This project is designed to test neurobehavioral mechanisms underlying effects of the dual orexin-1/2 receptor antagonist suvorexant on sleep efficiency and opioid abstinence, and whether these outcomes are independent of one another. This will be the first study to investigate whether suvorexant improves outpatient opioid abstinence and sleep efficiency; and whether improving sleep mediates the improved opioid abstinence outcome. 120 participants with opioid use disorder (OUD) will complete this intent-to-treat study.
A dual arm interventional study in which chliipad and ooler sleep system users voluntarily opt out of using their device for 2 out of 4 weeks. Assessments of sleep via self report and Oura Ring sleep quality and duration.
Comprehensive lifestyle interventions are recommended for the treatment of adolescent obesity; however, evidence suggests that they are not as effective in teens as they are in children and adults. Recent evidence supports that shifting the timing of energy intake earlier in the day has led to improved weight loss outcomes among adults with overweight and obesity. Given that adolescents traditionally consume the majority of their daily energy intake late in the day (past 5PM), this approach may improve the effectiveness of traditional behavioral weight control interventions in teens. Therefore, the primary aim of the proposed research is to pilot a novel adaptation of an evidence-based adolescent weight control intervention in which adolescents will be randomized to consume the majority of their daily energy needs earlier versus later in the day. More specifically, 40 adolescents, ages 13-17, with obesity (BMI>95% for age and sex) will be randomized to a 16-week evidence-based weight control intervention that has the participant consume >50 percent of their total energy intake before 3PM (i.e. at breakfast / lunch; BFL) or after 3PM (i.e. dinner; DIN). Assessments will take place at baseline and 16 weeks (post-treatment). The proposed study will test 1) the adherence and feasibility of the BFL vs. DIN interventions as measured by the average number of days on which daily energy was consumed in accordance with the prescribed eating plan and, secondarily, mean session attendance, 2) if the BFL group will have significantly greater reductions in BMI post-treatment as compared to the DIN group, 3) if there are differences in sleep duration and quality between groups, and finally, as an exploratory aim, whether there are differences in dietary quality between groups. The proposed research is significant, as it addresses obesity in teens. It is innovative as the timing of meals and snacks have not been manipulated in adolescents in the context of behavioral weight control. Moreover, the study will shed light on whether doing so improves sleep and could help to untangle how sleep and weight gain relate in adolescents.
