The COVID-19 outbreak has changed work organization in favor of a working from home (WH) modality. We examined the association WH during pandemic with sleep health workers public research organization. An online cross-sectional survey 2022 at National Research Council Italy collected information on sociodemographics, characteristics, and pattern compared before WH. In whole sample (n = 748), total quality did not significantly change. Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) decreased Total increased poor sleepers, while it good sleepers. morning chronotype was protective against worsening Risk factors were depression body weight gain These findings emphasize importance baseline shaping impact sleep.

Using Low-Cost Technology Devices for Monitoring Sleep and Environmental Factors Affecting It: A Systematic Review of the Literature

Applied Sciences, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 15(3), P. 1188 - 1188

Published: Jan. 24, 2025

Low-cost technology devices, such as smartphones (SPs) and smart watches (SWs), are widely used today to monitor various health effects environmental risk factors associated with them. However, the efficacy of using these devices monitoring tools is largely unknown. The present study attempts narrow this knowledge gap by reviewing recent studies in which low-cost technological were sleep factors. focuses on peer-refereed articles that appear three major scientific databases, Web Science, Scopus, ScienceDirect, published between 2002 2022. Of 15,000+ records retrieved from databases systematic literature review (PRISMA) search, 15 identified most relevant consequently analyzed. analysis shows nighttime light pollution noise commonly monitored (eight studies), followed temperature (seven humidity CO2 (four studies). In eight studies, tandems SPs SWs sleep, while six data obtained compared conventional devices. general, SP SW measurements found be fairly accurate for less noise. At same time, no conducted date analyzed demonstrated effectiveness ambient temperature, humidity, air pressure. Our general conclusion although often lack precision professional instruments, they can nevertheless large-scale field research citizen science initiatives, their feasibility several attributes have yet determined.

Ambulatory devices to detect sleep bruxism: a narrative review

Australian Dental Journal, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Feb. 20, 2025

Abstract Sleep bruxism is a masticatory muscle activity that occurs during sleep and presents as rhythmic or non‐rhythmic activities commonly seen in healthy individuals but might also represent movement disorders. Given the clinical presentations of are relevant to dentistry, early detection particular interest dentists. However, gold standard for diagnosis involves polysomnography with audio‐visual recording – resource intensive mostly inaccessible diagnostic method. As such, ambulatory devices detect have potential address limitations polysomnography. This review literature was carried out up until December 2024 on commercially available detecting bruxism. Select appear promising preliminary screening tool both practice domestic use.

Identifying Risk and Protective Factors for Shift Work Sleep Disorder: Insights from UK Biobank Night Shift Workers

Clocks & Sleep, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 7(1), P. 14 - 14

Published: March 12, 2025

Shift Work Sleep Disorder (SWSD) is a significant and highly prevalent condition affecting up to 48% of individuals with irregular work schedules. The diagnostic criteria for SWSD include persistent insomnia or sleepiness in relation shift work, not attributable other disorders external factors. To explore risk factors SWSD, we conducted cross-sectional analysis among 10,787 night workers the UK Biobank. determine correlates using multivariable-adjusted logistic regression models, preselection potential was made on basis previous literature. Self-identifying as ‘Asian Asian British’ ‘Black Black (compared being ‘White’), male sex, high scores sociability, warmth diligence were associated lower odds SWSD. We did find associations chronotype, frequency alcohol intake, smoking, time employed current job These findings underscore need targeted interventions workplace policies mitigate adverse effects Future research should aim mechanisms behind these develop strategies enhance tolerance workers.
