Why do owls have it worse? Mediating role of self-perceptions in the links between diurnal preference and features of mental health
J Sleep Res. 2023 Nov 13:e14100. doi: 10.1111/jsr.14100. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRecent research provides evidence for the negative social perceptions of evening chronotypes and their consequences on mental health. However, there is a lack of studies indicating whether these negative, socially shared beliefs may become internalized in negative self-perceptions of evening-types (E-types). The present article provides a seminal empirical analysis of the role of self-liking and self-competence in the associations between chronotype and both depressiveness and well-being. In the first part of the study, the participants ...

Blame it on the "night owls": Perceived discrimination partly mediates the effects of morningness-eveningness on positive and negative affect
J Sleep Res. 2023 Nov 11:e14097. doi: 10.1111/jsr.14097. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe well-established effects of evening preference on diminished well-being and poorer mental health are usually explained in terms of common genetic bases of eveningness and negative emotionality and/or the discrepancy between biological and social clocks, experienced far more frequently by the Evening-types. However, recent studies provide evidence for the negative stereotyping of evening chronotypes which may lead to unexpectedly pronounced social stigma and its consequences. The present article provides a seminal empirical analysis o...

Post-training sleep modulates motor adaptation and task-related beta oscillations
In this study, we investigated the impact of sleep on motor adaptation and its neurophysiological correlates in a novel motor adaptation task that leverages a highly automatised motor skill, that is, typing. We hypothesised that sleep-associated memory consolidation would benefit motor adaptation and induce modulations in task-related beta band (13-30 Hz) activity during adaptation. Healthy young male experts in typing on the regular computer keyboard were trained to type on a vertically mirrored keyboard while brain activity was recorded using electroencephalography. Typing performance was assessed either after a full nig...

Insomnia medications: History, characteristics, and guidelines for optimal use in clinical practice
This article reviews the history of insomnia pharmacotherapy, documenting the evolution that has occurred over time in the increasing availability of medications with novel mechanisms of action that more specifically target the neural systems that modulate sleep/wake function. This evolution provides an increasing capacity to improve the effectiveness of insomnia pharmacotherapy by allowing the selection of medications that specifically target the particular type of sleep difficulty present in each patient. As a result, they can achieve a therapeutic effect with fewer effects on aspects of brain function other than those n...

Circadian timing, melatonin and hippocampal volume in later-life adults
This study aimed to examine how dim light melatonin onset and melatonin levels are associated with hippocampal volume in cognitively healthy individuals. We studied data from 52 later-life adults (mean age ± SD = 70.0 ± 6.3 years). T1-weighted anatomical images from 3.0 T magnetic resonance imaging data were collected and processed using the BRAINSTools toolbox. Dim light melatonin onset was used to assess circadian timing. The area under the curve was calculated to quantify melatonin concentration levels 6 hr before bedtime, and 14-day wrist actigraphy data were used to assess habitual bedtime. Multiple linear regressio...

The screening and management of sleep disturbances in people living with HIV: Delphi consensus
J Sleep Res. 2023 Nov 8:e14070. doi: 10.1111/jsr.14070. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSleep disturbances in people living with HIV (PLHIV) are frequent but their management remains insufficient. In the absence of specific recommendations, a DELPHI consensus research project was conducted in France to establish best practice. A multidisciplinary Steering Committee (STC) undertook a literature review and used it with clinical expertise to create statements that were voted on. Two profiles of healthcare professionals with significant experience in monitoring PLHIV were selected for the voting: physicians and nurses/psychologi...
