A Johns Hopkins trial tests whether a 3-month lifestyle intervention reduces obstructive sleep apnea and cardiovascular risk in sedentary seniors.
Not all insomnia patients respond to CBT-I the same way. New research maps distinct daytime alertness patterns that emerge during treatment.
A network neuroscience model reveals how co-occurring insomnia and sleep apnea amplify brain damage through distinct but overlapping mechanisms.
Pacific Islanders with OSA experience longer apneas and far greater oxygen deprivation than Caucasians, revealing unique pathophysiological endotypes with serious cardiometabolic stakes.
Large AI models trained on sleep data show potential but fail in real-world clinical settings — here's what the field must fix.
Phase 1 trial uses an inflammatory challenge to probe how insomnia amplifies depression risk in aging — pointing toward new prevention targets.
A 30-year cohort study links long sleep duration (≥9 hrs) to 17% higher all-cause mortality, partly mediated by blood pressure.
Expert comparison of top sleep trackers and optimization devices, from smart rings to mattress coolers, ranked by evidence quality and real-world utility.
A pilot trial tests whether treating sleep apnea with CPAP preserves memory and daily function in older adults already showing early cognitive decline.
Acoustic slow-wave stimulation enhanced memory consolidation by coordinating sleep oscillations and parasympathetic activity in a crossover trial.
Sleep difficulties affect most autistic adults, yet clinical evidence for effective treatments in this population remains critically sparse.
Mouse study reveals that distinct SIK3 isoforms separately govern wakefulness, sleep depth, and circadian rhythm — pinpointing new molecular sleep targets.
