Sleep is an essential physiological activity, accounting for about one-third of our lives, which significantly impacts memory, mood, health, and children’s growth. Especially after the COVID-19 epidemic, sleep health issues have attracted more attention. In recent years, with development wearable electronic devices, there been studies, products, or solutions related to monitoring. Many mature technologies, such as polysomnography, applied clinical practice. However, it urgent develop non-contacting devices suitable household continuous This paper first introduces basic knowledge significance Then, according types signals monitored, this describes research progress bioelectrical signals, biomechanical biochemical used not ideal monitor quality whole night based on only one signal. Therefore, reviews multi-signal monitoring systematic schemes. Finally, a conclusion discussion are presented propose potential future directions prospects

Sleep disturbance and suicidal ideation mediated by psychotic-like experiences in adolescents: a two-wave longitudinal study

SLEEP, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 47(3)

Published: Jan. 17, 2024

Abstract Study Objectives Sleep disturbance may cause suicidal ideation (SI). This study aimed to examine their co-occurrence rate among adolescents and investigate whether psychotic-like experiences (PLEs) mediate this association. Methods A total of 17 722 Chinese were included in two-wave longitudinal study. The baseline survey (time 1, T1) was conducted between April 21 May 12, 2021, the follow-up 2, T2) implemented December 26, 2021. At T1, participants completed questionnaires assess sleep disturbance, duration, PLEs, SI, depressive symptoms, sociodemographic characteristics. T2, reported negative life events. Results SI prevalence decreased from 20.2% (T1) 18.4% (T2). Participants with showed significantly higher short duration compared those without SI. Baseline both associated increased risk 6 months later. These links mediated by independent covariates Conclusions findings provide a novel insight into mechanism linking problems suicidality, stress significance assessing addressing PLEs for adolescent suicide prevention intervention.

Preliminary evidence of transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation effects on sleep in veterans with post‐traumatic stress disorder

Journal of Sleep Research, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 33(1)

Published: April 11, 2023

Sleep problems are common among veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder and closely associated hyperarousal symptoms. Transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) may have potential to improve sleep quality in PTSD through effects on brain systems relevant sleep-wake regulation. The current pilot study examines the effect of 1 h tVNS administered at "lights out" architecture, microstructure, autonomic activity. Thirteen completed two nights laboratory-based polysomnography during which they received either active (tragus) or sham (earlobe) randomised order. staging stability metrics were derived from data. Autonomic activity was assessed using Porges-Bohrer method for calculating respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA

How anxiety and depression mediate the link between sleep quality and health perception during crisis periods

During crisis periods, understanding the impact of sleep quality on self-rated health becomes crucial. However, role anxiety and depression as potential mediators in this relationship remains insufficiently explored. Therefore, study aimed to assess association with health, mediation by depression. This cross-sectional, population-based was conducted 1762 adults from October December 2020 Iron Quadrilateral region Brazil. The exposure variable poor quality, measured PSQI. outcome health. tested were depression, which evaluated using symptoms, medical diagnoses, use drugs. To test mediators' factors, Karlson-Holm-Breen method used. direct acyclic graph used select a minimal set adjustments multivariate analysis. There 22.6% people who rated their poor, 52.5% sleepers, 35.1% had symptoms 24.7% According analysis, individuals 2.82 times more likely self-assess poor. presence explained 16.57% 5.99% between respectively, COVID-19 pandemic, lower Furthermore, portion association.

Examining the Relationship Between Sleep Apnea Diagnosis and Suicide Risk in Veterans With Traumatic Brain Injury: A VA TBI Model Systems Study

Journal of Head Trauma Rehabilitation, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 38(5), P. 359 - 367

Objective: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common disorder in people with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Although disturbances have been associated an increased risk of suicide compared the general population, relationship between OSA and after TBI not well documented. In this study, we hypothesized that diagnosis would predict veterans TBI. Setting: Five Veterans Affairs (VA) Polytrauma Rehabilitation Centers. Participants: Participants were drawn from VA Model Systems follow-up interviews at year 1 ( n = 392), 2 444), 5 498), or 10 252) post-TBI (7.8%-14.5% attrition). Design: This was retrospective analysis observational data using logistic regression repeated measurements. Suicide ideation attempts examined as outcomes each to evaluate adjusting for other factors determined priori via literature review. Main Measures: Suicidal (Patient Health Questionnaire-9 item 9), attempt during past (self-reported), (self-reported). Results: Contrary study hypotheses, had no statistically significant association accounting known predictors. However, greater depression symptoms, headache severity, pre-TBI suicidal predicted Conclusions: Results did support risk, possibly due methodological limitations measurement. Future research on topic should include objective measures severity treatment including adherence. low base rate occurrence, impact disastrous further needed mitigate risk.

Impact of an internet-based insomnia intervention on suicidal ideation and associated correlates in veterans at elevated suicide risk

Translational Behavioral Medicine, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: unknown

Improving public health approaches to suicide prevention requires scalable evidence-based interventions that can be easily disseminated. Given empirical data supporting the association between insomnia and risk, internet-delivered are promising candidates meet this need. The purpose of study was examine whether an unguided cognitive-behavioral therapy for (iCBT-I) improved severity, suicidal ideation (SI), risk correlates (depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, hostility, belongingness, hopelessness, agitation, irritability, concentration) in a sample veterans. Secondary analysis Operation Enduring Freedom, Iraqi New Dawn veterans (n = 50) with clinically significant elevated SI drawn from larger randomized controlled trial (RCT) iCBT-I, Sleep Healthy Using Internet (SHUTi). Two-sample t-tests or Wilcoxon rank sum tests were used evaluate between-group differences (SHUTi vs. Insomnia Education Website control) symptom improvement baseline post-intervention. SHUTi participants experienced severity (P < .001; d -1.08) non-significant small (subthreshold medium) effect size reduction .17, 0.40), compared control participants. Significant hopelessness observed (medium size), medium reductions most remaining correlates. Self-administered iCBT-I associated improvements at suicide. These preliminary findings suggest may improve following intervention, demonstrating need future well-powered RCTs targeted populations risk.
