Sleep and cardiac autonomic modulation in older adults: Insights from an at‐home study with auditory deep sleep stimulation

Journal of Sleep Research, Volume 34, Issue 2, April 2025.
Summary The autonomic nervous system regulates cardiovascular activity during sleep, likely impacting cardiovascular health. Aging, a primary cardiovascular risk factor, is associated with cardiac autonomic disbalance and diminished sleep slow waves. Therefore, slow waves may be linked to aging, autonomic activity and cardiovascular health. However, it

One Single Session to Sleep Them All? The Potential of Single‐Session Interventions for Insomnia

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Poor sleep and insomnia are pervasive public health concerns, with insomnia ranking as the second most prevalent mental health disorder in the general population. Moreover, insomnia is a significant predictor of subsequent depression and is frequently co‐occurring with other psychological difficulties.

Cerebral and Peripheral Hemodynamics Across Wakefulness and NREM Sleep

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wake/sleep‐related changes in cerebral hemodynamic oscillations are well established, but similar changes in peripheral hemodynamics remain largely understudied. Moreover, how the relationship between cerebral and peripheral hemodynamics varies across sleep–wake states is not well understood, despite evidence that these oscillations in the low‐

A Meta‐Analysis of the Effects of Acute Sleep Deprivation on the Cortical Transcriptome in Rodent Models

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
How does sleep deprivation affect the brain? We performed a meta‐analysis of publicly available transcriptional profiling datasets characterising the effects of sleep deprivation on cortical gene expression (n = 293 mice, 16,290 genes) and validated our results in an independent sample (n = 222 mice).

Tone‐Evoked Sleep Electroencephalographic Slow Oscillations as a Function of Peripheral Rhythms: New Insights Into the Brain–Heart Integration

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recent studies have shown that acoustic stimulation, a common neuromodulation technique, can enhance slow‐wave activity (SWA), which is associated with immune, autonomic nervous system activity and cognitive health benefits. Despite some disagreement, many studies suggest that maximising tone‐evoked SWA depends on the timing of the acoustic ...

Screens, Teens, and Sleep: Is the Impact of Nighttime Screen Use on Sleep Driven by Physiological Arousal?

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Few studies have objectively measured both screens and sleep in real‐world settings. This study uses repeated measures to assess heart rate during evening screen use, providing new insights into how these behaviours relate to adolescent sleep. Screen use was recorded using wearable cameras over four nights in 70 youth (37% indigenous Māori, 42%
