Physical Activity as a Tool to Improve Sleep Quality for Secure Psychiatric Inpatients: A Feasibility Study

open access: yesJournal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT People with a severe mental illness (SMI) often experience insomnia and disrupted sleep–wake cycles. Daytime physical activity (PA) can retrain the sleep/wake cycle, but PA engagement is often markedly low in SMI. It is hypothesised that frequent, intermittent, short bouts of daytime PA can improve sleep outcomes in SMI.

Elevated Hair Cortisol Concentrations Are Associated With Poor Sleep Quality Evaluated Using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index but Not With Actigraphy

open access: yesJournal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT There is growing interest in studying how habitual sleep disturbance affects biological risk factors that may underscore adverse health outcomes. This study examined associations between hair cortisol concentrations and self‐reported sleep quality and objectively measured sleep metrics derived using actigraphy.

Long‐Term Visual Gist Abstraction Independent of Post‐Encoding Sleep

open access: yesJournal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Current theories of memory processing postulate a slow transformation from episodic to abstract, gist‐like memories. We previously demonstrated that sleep shortly after learning improves gist abstraction in healthy volunteers across a one‐year retention interval using a visual version of the Deese‐Roediger‐McDermott (DRM) paradigm.

The Association Between Disordered Eating and Sleep in Non‐Clinical Populations—A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesJournal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sleep and disordered eating behaviours may be linked through physiological and psychological mechanisms; yet, no review has systematically investigated the relationship between different sleep indicators and disordered eating behaviours and cognitions outside a clinical context.

The Influence of 25‐ and 90‐Min Afternoon Nap Opportunities on Subsequent Nighttime Sleep in Student Athletes

open access: yesJournal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While daytime napping could support recovery in athletes, poorly timed or prolonged naps may interfere with nighttime sleep. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the effect of two different, well‐timed nap opportunity durations, 25 and 90 min, on subsequent objectively measured nighttime sleep in student athletes.

Is Objective Short Sleep a Proxy for Frequent Insomnia?

open access: yesJournal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigated the relationship between insomnia frequency and objective short sleep, a phenotype of insomnia. The hypothesis is that individuals with objective short sleep simply have more nights of insomnia per week. Data from a randomised controlled trial of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia combined with zolpidem and/or ...

Wake EEG and Sleep Hypoxemia Predicts Poor Driving and Vigilance Following Extended Wakefulness in People With OSA

open access: yesJournal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a highly prevalent but heterogeneous condition which makes identifying patients at risk of vigilance and driving impairment clinically challenging. Resting wake electroencephalography (EEG) is associated with vigilance performance in healthy participants.
