This research aims to investigate the interplay between menstrual cycles, sleep patterns, and athletic performance. Before experimental sessions, participants will maintain menstrual diaries for three months and complete assessments for sleep disorders and chronotype. Sleep duration will be objectively measured over five nights using actigraphy, complemented by sleep-related data from an actigraph and the Karolinska Sleep Diary. The study involves two sessions: normal sleep (based on habitual duration) and restricted sleep (reduced by 3 hours). Athletes will engage in a simulated match-play game before both sessions, followed by comprehensive performance tests the next day. Blood samples will be collected at three intervals to analyze hormonal profiles (including progesterone, and estradiol), markers of muscle damage, inflammation, stress (such as TNF-α, IL-6, CRP, myoglobin, cortisol, testosterone), and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). On Day 1, pre- and post-training blood samples will be obtained, and participants will wear an actigraph, adhere to specified bedtime routines, and report activities (restricted sleep group). Day 2 involves completing a sleep diary, refraining from caffeine, responding to questionnaires assessing readiness to train and mood, and undergoing performance tests followed by self-reporting of pain levels and perceived exertion using established scales (VAS, RPE 6-20).
Investigators developed a brief, scalable, behavioral Sleep Promotion Program (SPP) for adolescents with short sleep duration and sleep-wake irregularity, which relies on two individual sessions and smart phone technology to deliver evidence-based strategies. This R34 will test the feasibility and initial effectiveness of the SPP program and provider training via pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT, n=50) comparing SPP to Sleep Psychoeducation, a brief session on healthy sleep habits. Participants will be adolescents (12-18 years) with short sleep duration, sleep-wake irregularity, and depression.

This open trial portion of the R34 will focus on conducting an open trial (n=8) to iteratively refine provider training, implementation procedures, and SPP program, per participant and staff feedback.
This study aims to evaluate the viability of wearable and portable technologies for sleep staging in children and adolescents. The results will be compared with polysomnography, in order to achieve clinical and diagnostic validation. Three domains of devices will be used: movement sensors, wearable EEG band and pulse oximetry. The project will include individuals between the ages of 3 and 18 who reside in São Paulo city and undergo a polysomnography test at the Sleep Laboratory of the Children's Institute of the Hospital das Clínicas of the University of São Paulo, achieving a minimum of 85% sleep efficiency on the night of the test.
this study aims to assess ther effectiveness of moderate & high intensity training on cognitive functions and sleep of female students
The study aims to see how acute sleep restriction will affect women resistance trainers. Above all, the investigators will be interested in observing the relationship between shorter sleep and athletic performance, as well as other important aspects, such as their level of motivation to exercise, how much pain participants felt during exercise and how demanding they found exercise. The investigators assume that differences in subjective measures (such as pain levels, motivation and mood) will be most apparent.
Melatonin is a hormone naturally found in our body that increases in our blood at night and controls how we sleep. Melatonin can also be taken as a pill and numerous clinical trials have documented improved sleep quality following melatonin supplementation before bed. However, it is not known whether such supplements actually increase blood melatonin above normal levels, particularly at night. The aims of this study are to investigate whether a novel melatonin supplement (Ritual Sleep BioSeriesTM Melatonin) can increase blood melatonin in human participants at night, and to determine if taking the supplement before bed for two-weeks can improve sleep quality.
The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate the effects of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) on Sleep Quality, Mood and Memory.
This is a pilot, two-arm, randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled cross-over clinical trial to study the safety and effect of 14 days of kava on anxiety and physiologic stress in survivors of cancer and its treatment. Participants will be randomized to take either kava first or placebo first. Kava 75 mg or placebo will be taken three time daily (TID) for 14 days (Period 1), followed by a washout period of 14-28 days. Thereafter, the participant will take either placebo or kava TID for 14 days (Period 2), whichever he/she did not take in Period 1.
