The study will be conducted during the period of, January 2019 - August 2019 with pre-diabetic participants on a NHS England funded National Diabetes Prevention Program (NDPP) with a clinically diagnosed Haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) referral reading of between 42mmol/mol - 47mmol/mol within the last 12 months. The term pre-diabetic can all be used to explain blood glucose levels that are higher than normal, but not high enough for participants to be diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. Having high blood glucose levels can increase a participant's risk of developing Type 2 diabetes and other health complications, although this is not inevitable. 100 participants will take part in the study. Participants will be eligible if they are aged between 18 and 65 years and have an HbA1c referral reading of between 42-47mmol/mol within the last 12 months. The participants will be given a written consent form to sign to take part in the study, after receiving both written and verbal information beforehand on the study protocol from the researcher. Health screening to determine eligibility for the NHS funded program will be undertaken directly by the intervention provider. Study design and procedures: The study will be delivered in a controlled format and will be designed to assess the relationship between the elevation of HbA1c level, sleep quality and sleep duration in clinically diagnosed pre-diabetic participants referred and registered to join the NHS NDPP. Participants will receive a pre-program information pack in conjunction with a sleep quality and sleep duration questionnaire at the end of their 1:1 initial appointments for the NHS NDPP. Participants will be given prepaid envelopes to send their anonymised questionnaires back to the researcher once completed after their appointments. The researcher will ensure confidentiality by keeping all questionnaires in a securely combination coded locked cupboard that only the researcher has access to. Participants will be instructed to not write their names on the questionnaires but to only state their gender, age, and referral HbA1c reading received from the relevant health care professional.
The aim of this study was to compare the depression and sleep disturbances of operated endometriosis patients before and after the operation. The main objective here is to provide data on how patients' psychological states and sleep patterns are affected by the symptoms of endometriosis and how these effects can be corrected. In this way, it is aimed to determine whether the patients have psychological support needs and to give the planned treatment due to endometriosis in the early period. As a secondary goal, it is planned to keep the patients in follow-up with their improved sleep and psychological conditions, and to improve their adherence to treatment and quality of life.
Sleep disorders are very common in alcohol patients (40-90% according to studies) These sleep disorders may persist after withdrawal and represent a major factor in relapse. In a previous study, the investigators validated a simple sleep questionnaire (the "Short Sleep Index = SSI") from a multicentre series of 602 American patients (Perney et al., Alcohol Alcohol 2012) The SSI is obtained from the Hamilton score (baseline score for anxiety and depression)
The study "Nutritional Trial With Probiotic Fortified Milk in Women Affected by Insomnia" is a part of a complex and multi-sectoral development research project (PROS.IT) with the participation of University Research Institutes and small/medium Italian enterprises. The general objective of the Project is to promote the collaboration between the best scientific research, both epidemiological and experimental, and the most advanced technologies to develop fortified foods that meeting the specific nutritional requirements of adult consumers. This objective will be achieved by the nutritional improvement of primary production, the development of innovative functional foods at high added value, in addition to traditional products functionalized, which are peculiar of the Italian local districts.

There is an objective lack of data on the body composition, nutritional status, cardiovascular status and lifestyle of adults on a plant-based diet (PBD). The aim in this cross-sectional study investigators will document the differences in the body composition, nutritional intake and general health status of healthy adults aged 18 to 80 years who are on plant-based diet of 0.5-10 years and to determine if their body composition status is associated to the duration of eating with PBD between the 3 groups: those that are 0.5-2 years (short-term), 2-5 years (medium-term) and 5-10 years (long-term) on PBD. This study will also include the monitoring of other factors of healthy and active lifestyle of PBD participants, namely the status of habitual and organized physical activity, the status of daily long-term seating, the status of stress and hygiene of sleep, socio-economic status and the motive(s)/reasons for starting PBD. Investigators will also record their maximum (lifetime) body weight, body weight upon entering the PBD lifestyle, and using data from participants, blood analysis to collect their basic biochemistry results, and data on current blood pressure status. The investigators hypothesis is that: (H1): There are no differences in nutritional status between people who are short- (0.5-2 years), the medium- (2-5 years) or the long-term (5-10 years) on PBD. (H2): At least 80% of the tested subjects have plasma lipid values and blood pressure within the reference values. (H3): There is difference in lipid profile and body composition between people who are short- and the medium but not between medium and long-term PBD.
Enrolled Naïve participants will be randomized to one of two arms, the investigational or control arm. Once randomized the institutions will fit the participant with the procedures outlined in the protocol. Each participant will be required to trial the mask for a period of 90 days. Any Unscheduled Visits or Calls that occur during the participants 90 days documented.
This study will provide measures of safety and efficacy of the NightWare digital therapeutic system (iPhone + Apple watch + proprietary application) for the treatment of nightmare disorder associated with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)-related sleep disturbance and the impact of improved sleep with the NightWare digital therapeutic system. The investigators hypothesize that the NightWare digital therapeutic system will significantly improve sleep quality in participants with PTSD-Related nightmares and poor sleep quality.
Sleep disorders affect human health tremendously. It has been reported that aromatherapy by fragrance inhalation can be used as an adjuvant therapy to modulate parasympathetic nervous activity for relieving stress and mood, and promoting sleep quality. Many researches confirmed that lavender essential oil can be used as an adjuvant therapy for sleep disorders. It can effectively relieve stress and modulate physical and mental status. However, many studies about aromatherapy lack sleep detection instruments to objectively confirm their effects on sleep physiology. Therefore, this study adopts Easy sleep complex essential oil as the experimental group. The lavender essential oil containing orange, petitgrain, rose, lavender, rosewood, ho wood, amyris essential oil and lavender oil is chosen as control group. The subjects will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups. The efficacy results will be evaluated and compared between the two groups. The investigators expect that aromatherapy by fragrance inhalation with Easy sleep complex essential oil will improve sleep quality more effectively than lavender essential oil.
