Sleep Disorder
The collective term sleep disorder refers to conditions that affect sleep quality, timing, or duration and impact a person’s ability to properly function while they are awake. These disorders can contribute to other medical problems, and some may also be symptoms for underlying mental health issues.

- Large Muscle Group Movements during Sleep in Restless Leg Syndrome: Neurophysiological and Clinical Implicationsby Maria P Mogavero on May 18, 2024
CONCLUSIONS: Different types of movements, including SILMS, ISOLMS, and LMM, play somewhat distinct roles in sleep neurophysiology in RLS. Notably, LMM, a newly recognized category of movements, demonstrate associations with sleep architecture instability and fragmentation, arousals, and awakenings, suggesting potential clinical implications.
- Effectiveness of mobile applications in improving insomnia symptoms among adults from multi-community: A systematic review and meta-analysisby Songee Jung on May 18, 2024
CONCLUSIONS: A small body of evidence supports the use of CBT-based sleep applications to improve insomnia symptoms among adults from multi-community.
- Interior decorative volatile organic compounds exposure induces sleep disorders through aberrant branched chain amino acid transaminase 2 mediated glutamatergic signaling resulting from a neuroinflammatory cascadeby Jie Zheng on May 18, 2024
Air pollution has been recognized as a contributing factor to sleep disorders (SD), which have been correlated with an elevated susceptibility to a variety of human diseases. Nevertheless, research has not definitively established a connection between SD and interior decorative volatile organic compounds (ID-VOCs), a significant indoor air pollutant. In this study, we employed a mouse model exposed to ID-VOCs to explore the impacts of ID-VOCs exposure on sleep patterns and the potential...
- A randomized controlled trial to compare the effects of time-restricted eating versus Mediterranean diet on symptoms and quality of life in bipolar disorderby Sheri L Johnson on May 18, 2024
BACKGROUND: The primary objective of this randomized controlled trial (RCT) is to establish the effectiveness of time-restricted eating (TRE) compared with the Mediterranean diet for people with bipolar disorder (BD) who have symptoms of sleep disorders or circadian rhythm sleep-wake disruption. This work builds on the growing evidence that TRE has benefits for improving circadian rhythms. TRE and Mediterranean diet guidance will be offered remotely using self-help materials and an app, with...
