Dream habits in a large cohort of preteens and their relation to sleep and nocturnal awakenings

Journal of Sleep Research, Volume 34, Issue 2, April 2025.
Summary The present study examined dream habits, and their relation to sleep patterns, in 1151 preteens (597 boys; 554 girls; 11.31 ± 0.62 years old). Dream questionnaires assessed the frequency of dream recall, nightmare, and lucid dream, as well as the intensity of emotions experienced in dreams. Sleep variables included sleep duration and efficiency,

Sleep characteristics and self‐reported sleep quality in the oldest‐old: Results from a prospective longitudinal cohort study

Journal of Sleep Research, Volume 34, Issue 2, April 2025.
Summary Little is known about the correlation between subjective perception and objective measures of sleep quality in particular in the oldest‐old. The aim of this study was to perform longitudinal home sleep monitoring in this age group, and to correlate results with self‐reported sleep quality.

Differential effects of sleep position and sleep stage on the severity of obstructive sleep apnea

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
Comparison of the relationship between apnea‐hypopnea index and sleep position versus REM sleep in obstructive sleep apnea. Summary This study compared the effects of sleeping in the supine position and rapid eye movement sleep on the severity of obstructive sleep apnea, and investigated the effect of sleep stage on position‐dependent obstructive sleep

Auditory stimulation during deep sleep enhances total slow‐wave activity in a young cohort: A feasibility trial

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
Summary Cognitive, metabolic and sleep benefits associated with enhancement of sleep slow waves using closed‐loop auditory stimulation have been reported in adults but not in adolescents, especially in home settings. Seventeen volunteers (10F/7M; age range: 13–18 years old) participated in a 2‐week, single‐blind, crossover study.

Corticosteroid‐responsive narcolepsy type II after COVID‐19: A relevant differential diagnosis of post‐COVID syndrome (a case report)

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
Summary Excessive daytime sleepiness is a possible symptom of post‐COVID syndrome and is also the cardinal symptom of narcolepsy, a rare life‐long sleep disorder with a possible autoimmune background. Recent reports indicate that COVID‐19 infection may trigger narcolepsy. However, it remains unclear how best to identify and treat such cases.

An afternoon nap facilitates analogical transfer in creative problem solving

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
Summary In analogical problem solving, the solution to a previously experienced problem (source) is used to solve a new but structurally similar problem (target). Yet, analogical transfer is seldom successful, as structural commonalities between source and target problems can be difficult to recognise.

The association between dream activity and alexithymia during pregnancy: A cross‐sectional study in a sample of pregnant women

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
Summary The gestational period is a sensitive time marked by significant changes that can affect women's sleep and dreaming processes, with an augmented frequency and recall of dreams suggesting that dreaming represents an adaptive mechanism of emotional regulation.

Accelerometry for sleep assessment in children: Criterium validity of different algorithms in wrist‐ and ankle‐worn devices

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
Summary Polysomnography, the gold‐standard for measuring sleep, is costly, intrusive and usually limited to 1 night. Actigraphy offers a more affordable, less intrusive method over multiple nights. However, little research validates ActiGraph accelerometers against polysomnography, especially in children.

Does sleep help children to generalise features like adults?

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
Summary Children and adults have been shown to benefit from sleep with regard to the consolidation of declarative memories. Especially during childhood, the generalisation of information from social and non‐social contexts is important for adaptable behaviour in new situations and might show specific features in children.

Effects of gestational intermittent hypoxia on the respiratory system: A tale of the placenta, fetus, and developing offspring

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
Effects of gestational intermittent hypoxia on maternal, fetal and offspring respiratory system. In black, effects in humans; in red, in vitro effects; in blue, effects in animal models. Summary Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common sleep disorder that is associated with a wide variety of health conditions, including cardiovascular, cerebrovascular,
