Filter by:The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to determine the feasibility and acceptability of increasing time in bed to 10 hours per night in children aged 14-17 years. The main question it aims to answer are: - How much additional sleep short-sleeping-adolescents (~7h TIB/night) will obtain when asked to increase time-in-bed to 10h/night for seven consecutive nights compared to those who are not asked to increase time-in-bed? - Are adolescents able to comply with study demands: wearing two devices (one on wrist and one on hip) and completing daily sleep diaries and call-ins for seven days? - By acquiring participant feedback, how feasible and acceptable is it to increase time in bed for sleep to 10h/night using a questionnaire and semi-structured interview? - Complete a phone screen - Come to Rutgers Sleep Lab for an orientation to obtain equipment, answer questionnaires and study staff will obtain consent - Wear a wrist device and a hip device for one week to observe sleep and physical activity - If assigned to the 10 hour time-in-bed group, they will follow specific procedures to ensure protocol adherence - Come to the Rutgers Sleep Lab for a follow up to give back equipment and answer questionnaires Researchers will compare the control group to the 10 hour time in bed group to see if it is feasible for 14-17 year olds to be in bed for that long and wear two devices.
Overnight on-call schedules can impact sleep, wellbeing, and alertness, which can be detrimental on the performance, physical and mental health of residents. Moreover, rotating shift work may have a long-term negative health impact (e.g. increased risk of diabetes). Within the National University Hospital (NUH), two different systems of rotating on-call schedules are implemented. In the night float system, residents work from 8 pm to 8 am for 5 - 7 consecutive nights once every month, compared to the traditional overnight on-call system, where each resident is on call for 4-6 nights per month (7 am - 5 pm, followed by overnight call until 8 am the next morning). The aim of the current study is to track sleep, wellbeing, and glucose metabolism during the different phases of the night float and traditional on-call schedules.
The goal of this pilot clinical effectiveness trial is to compare a brief parent behavioral intervention (PBI) to a modified sleep focused PBI (SF-PBI) delivered by therapists in pediatric primary care for families of children 3-5 years old with sleep problems and early ADHD symptoms. The main aims are to: - Demonstrate acceptability, feasibility, and appropriateness of the SF-PBI. - Examine change in sleep and ADHD symptoms among preschoolers with ADHD symptoms receiving SF-PBI compared to the brief PBI.
In the WEsleep study, the investigators will perform a cluster randomized controlled trial. 3 surgical and 3 medical departments will be randomized to implement low-cost and simple interventions aimed at improving sleep in admitted patients. Another 3 surgical and 3 medical departments will be randomized to function as control groups. Subjective sleep quality and sleep-wake timing will be assessed in adult medical and surgical patients admitted into one of 12 participating wards, using questionnaires and a sleep diary. In addition, in a subset of participants, objective sleep measures will be assessed in with an EEG headband and a sleep mat.
The main aim is the gain information of sleep structures in adolescents with persistent pain. Also to study simple interventions to support their sleep and pain management. The main aim of this study is to test the efficacy and feasibility of suggestive presleep relaxation technique in improving sleep quality and sleep-related emotional memory processing.
This study is a prospective two-arm, single blind randomized controlled trial design to compare the clinical effectiveness of telemedicine-delivered, 6-session, standardized cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) and mindfulness-based treatment for insomnia (MBTI) in treating insomnia symptoms and ameliorating depressive symptoms in persons with mild to moderate TBI and comorbid Post-Traumatic Stress Symptoms (PTSS) and insomnia symptoms in a 360 patients. Participants will undergo assessment (psychosocial questionnaires, neurocognitive testing, sleep monitoring) at baseline, at the end of treatment, and at 6- and 12-weeks post-treatment. The primary outcome is sleep as measured by the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI).
Obesity in children is a priority of public health initiatives, and reliable obesity prevalence and severity assessments are needed for policy decisions and study directions. Obesity in childhood raises the risk of insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases in later life. To develop preventive strategies, it is essential to identify modifiable lifestyle habits linked to childhood obesity. The four main modifiable lifestyle behaviors affecting body weight are physical activity, sleep, screen time, and eating patterns. Among these factors, sleep is a neglected issue for clinicians, and recent research has shown that sleep patterns can predict BMI and macronutrient intake. Getting enough sleep is essential to a person's physical and mental well-being and development. This study aims to determine the sleep duration and quality of children aged 9-12 during the school year and how sleep impacts food intake and choice. Also, determining any relationships between the sleep and food intake outcomes and screen time, physical activity, and anthropometric indicators.
The purpose of this research is to test a commercially viable Fire Fighter Altering System (FFAS) comprised of proprietary wearables and optional bed shakers called BunkAlerts; collectively "personal alerting devices" as an alternative approach to the traditional fire alarm system used in fire stations. Participants (fire fighters) will be asked to take part in the study to investigate the impact of the new FFAS on cardiovascular response and sleep. This study includes three phases: 1) baseline, 2) implementation of EaseAlert FFAS with traditional alarm, and 3) implementation of EaseAlert FFAS without traditional alarm. Participants will be asked to wear an Actigraph wGT3x-BT and Polar H10 device to record sleep and heart rate data for 12 days at work in addition to EaseAlert FFAS device for 8 out of the 12 days at work. They will also be asked to complete a questionnaire and complete daily journal entries.
We obtained the occurrence of pain sensation, pain mood, sleep, etc. during endocrine therapy in breast cancer patients through telephone follow-up, and analyzed risk factors through artificial intelligence
In this study the investigators will examine the effect of general anesthesia and surgery on sleep duration and sleep quality in children, using questionnaires and a sleep diary.
