Filter by:Sleep problems become more prominent with aging and worse among post-menopause than perimenopause stage. The actual causes of sleep problems are unclear. However, it occurs commonly accompanied with or in the response of seriousness of menpausal symptoms as nocturnal hot flashes, mood disorders, and obstructive sleep apnea among menopauses. The Prevalence of sleep problems is variable ranged from 11.8 -62 % based on different studies. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is one of the short-term form of psychotherapy, used for managing sleep problems and insomnia , an efficacious as pharmacological treatment.
The study will examine the effect of Restorative Yoga self-practice on sleep disturbance in the Chinese adult population. Restorative Yoga is a relaxation-focused yoga style which includes a series of static stretching poses and mindful breathing. Existing literature has demonstrated that face-to-face yoga sessions of different types are effective in improving sleep disturbance and reducing the severity of insomnia. There were pilot studies conducted on the effect of yoga on cancer patients' sleep quality, but research that focuses on insomnia population is rare (Wang et al., 2020). In addition, there is very limited research on the effectiveness of self-practice without the presence of a yoga instructor. Given the social distancing policy under COVID-19 and the need to stay home, this study can shed light on whether self-practice at home can be an effective alternative to face-to-face yoga sessions.
The present study will test the effectiveness of a behavioral intervention program that targets sleep problems in 1.5-5-year-old children with ASD. Sleep patterns will be measured using questionnaires and sleep diaries that will be completed by the parents as well as by Fitbit sensors that will be placed on the child's wrist or back of the arm. The study will also explore whether specific child (e.g., severity of cognitive abilities) or parent characteristics (e.g., parent stress levels) impact the effectiveness of the intervention. In addition, we will examine whether changes in sleep disturbances are associated with changes in the family's quality of life.
Assisted living residents who have sleep disturbances are at great risk of developing cognitive impairments. The identification of factors that increase sleep problems in this population is the first step towards improving sleep disorders and reducing and/or delaying the occurrence of cognitive impairments in this population. Physical activity has been proposed to improve sleep quality in older individuals, but there is currently no scientific evidence of how sleep mediates the relationship between physical activity and cognition in assisted living residents. This is a cross-sectional study that investigates the relationship between sleep quality, functional/physical capacity, and cognitive performance. Participants will be recruited through a non-probabilistic sampling method (convenience) as this is a feasibility study that aims to identify, for the first time, sleep disorders in assisted living residents using objective measures of sleep. Sleep quality will be measured with polysomnography, actigraphy, and questionnaire. Functional and physical capacity will be assessed through walking tasks and actigraphy. Cognitive tasks will be used to assess memory. This study will bring new insights into the factors that affect the quality of life and sleep in assisted living residents. The evidence-based knowledge acquired on-site will be translated and shared with the local and global scientific community to raise awareness of the factors that contribute to increasing institutionalization and dependent living. Results obtained from objective and subjective measures of sleep will be of great importance to develop specialized clinical expertise and behavioral interventions that will meet residents' needs.
This study study aims to examine relationships between sleep and mental health and well-being among a more heterogeneous sample of students and apply the REST intervention to this group to determine whether we can improve sleep in this group and whether changes in sleep are associated with improvements in mental health.
Sleep and rest are key elements in postoperative rehabilitation and recovery. There are complex relations between major surgery, sleep disturbance and complications. Major surgery leeds to severe postoperative sleep disturbances, initially reducing REM sleep time and disturbing the remaining sleep stages. Major surgery is again a risk factor for postoperative delirium and other cognitive impairment. The underlying mechanisms includes pain, opioid medication, sleep disturbances and neuroinflammation, along with external factors as noise during hospitalisation. The physiologic stress from sleep disturbances and sleep deprivation is associated with blood-brain barrier impairment, inflammation, decreased restitution, altered nociceptive function. Likewise, undiagnosed and untreated sleep apnea is a risk for postoperative complications and is itself affected by anesthesia and some analgesics (i.a. opioids). Fast-track surgery development has led to restitution period shortening, optimized pain management reducing opioid use, postoperative inflammatory stress response reduction and less delirium. Evolution of hip and knee arthroplasty(THA/TKA), organisation, optimized pain management and pharmacologic modification of inflammatory response by high dose steroid has permitted to perform these surgeries in an outpatient setting. Previous studies of fast-track THA/TKA using multimodal opioid-sparring analgesia, however neither using high dose steroids nor in an out patient setting, have demonstrated REM sleep period reduction from a normal range of 18% preoperatively to 1% postoperatively. However, changes in sleep architecture after THA/TKA in at setting attempting to minimise abnormal sleep by means of ambulatory surgery added to perioperative reduction of inflammatory response to surgery, pain and opioid use by high dose steroid, haven't been studied. The purpose of this study is to investigate how much an optimized ambulatory THA/TKA , reducing pain and inflammatory response to surgery and opioid use by high doses steroid can conserve the preoperative sleep architecture.
Sleep problems in patients with CLBP are a very common complication and is the most neglected part of the management. Though previous literature suggested that sleep problems need to be managed in patients with CLBP, no physical therapy or manual therapy techniques has been checked for their efficacy to manage the same. Therefore, there is a need to check the efficacy of various physical therapy and manual therapy techniques so that sleep problems associated with CLBP can be managed effectively by physical means. The main purpose of the study is to check the efficacy of tDCS and CST to improve sleep, pain and quality of life in patients with CLBP.
