Filter by:The purpose of this placebo-controlled, double-blind study is to determine the effects of a commercially available (i.e. dietary supplement) Hemp Oil Extract product on various markers of physical and mental stress resilience, and perceived recovery from normal daily physical & mental stress. Secondary purposes are to collect information on perceived appetite, mood, feelings of wellbeing, sleep quality, body composition and safety information via standard clinical chemistry panels of sera and plasma.
Sleep behaviour has critical importance to health and wellbeing. A large body of evidence has implicated poor sleep in all-cause mortality, and in cardiovascular and cardiometabolic risk factors. Given the importance of sleep to health, the importance of accurately monitoring sleep duration and quality is becoming more evident. Polysomnography (PSG) is considered the gold standard for sleep assessment. Nevertheless, PSG is impractical, expensive and labour-intensive. Another method to quantify indices of sleep is based on actigraphic measures. Wrist worn actigraphy devices provide an indirect measure of sleep parameters e.g. total sleep time, sleep onset latency and waking time. However, the data is in the form of manufacturer-specific activity 'counts', making it difficult to compare the data with different accelerometer brands. Recently wrist-worn accelerometers have become increasingly used for objective measurement of physical activity in large population studies where participants are often asked to wear them for 24 hours continuously. These devices therefore collect data that could be used to estimate sleep parameters, and now there is a sleep algorithm that can be applied to raw data from accelerometers. The three widely used raw-data accelerometer brands are the Axivity, ActiGraph and GENEActiv and ActivPAL which is a thigh-worn accelerometer that provides a measure of posture. Studies that examined accuracy of estimating sleep parameters from different brands of accelerometers compared to PSG have reported conflicting results which could be due to the use of different sleep algorithms and accelerometer placement (dominant vs. non-dominant wrist vs. hip). Therefore this study will aim to validate automated sleep algorithms for research grade accelerometers against PSG in a clinical and healthy adult population.
If teenagers attain the recommended amount of sleep (9-9.5 hours per night), they will feel less stress and have better athletic and academic performance. The investigators will track students sleep patterns before and after a sleep intervention where they are given a packet of sleep tips and encouraged to improve their sleep hygiene. Outcomes include stress levels, academic/athletic performance, and sleep cycle data from the sleep tracking watch.
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.
Sleep is ubiquitous in animals and humans, and disruptions are of high clinical importance. Still, the neural basis of sleep perception is insufficiently understood, which limits the development of new treatments. The current project is designed to further contribute to the understanding of the neural basis of sleep perception and to the development of innovative treatments for disrupted sleep (insomnia).
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.
Sleep problems are common in adolescence and recognized as an international public health concern given their links to a range of adverse outcomes. Adolescents with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) experience more sleep problems than their peers, including delayed sleep onset, shorter sleep duration, poorer sleep quality, more sleep variability, and greater daytime sleepiness. Further, research conducted by the investigator's team has shown that sleep problems are strongly associated with - and causal contributors to - functional impairment in adolescents with ADHD, including increased mood, behavior, and academic problems. However, sleep problems are not currently addressed in any evidence-based treatment for adolescents with ADHD, and no study has evaluated an intervention targeting sleep problems in adolescents with ADHD. This is a notable gap in the field since consensus statements on sleep suggest that treating sleep problems may improve ADHD and associated impairments. Evidence-based cognitive-behavioral sleep interventions, including the Transdiagnostic Sleep and Circadian Intervention for Youth (TranS-C) intervention, are effective for improving sleep and associated impairments (e.g., attention, mood) in adolescents with sleep problems. However, these interventions have never been tested in adolescents with ADHD specifically. This will be the first to evaluate a cognitive-behavioral sleep intervention (TranS-C) in adolescents with ADHD who experience co-occurring sleep problems. This study will recruit 15 adolescents with ADHD and sleep problems to enroll in and complete an open trial of the TranS-C intervention to evaluate its feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy. Findings will provide key pilot data regarding treatment of sleep problems in adolescents with ADHD.
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.
