Cord-blood vitamin D level and night sleep duration in preschoolers in the EDEN mother-child birth cohort
25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) deficiency has been associated with sleep disorders in adults. Only three cross-sectional studies were performed in children; they showed an association between 25OHD deficiency and both obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and primary snoring. No longitudinal study has been performed in children from the general population. We analyzed the association between cord-blood vitamin D levels at birth and night-sleep duration trajectories for children between 2 and 5-6 years old in a non-clinical cohort.

Withdrawal symptoms following dopaminergic treatment of RLS
The use of dopaminergic treatments in restless legs syndrome/Willis-Ekbom disease (RLS/WED) has been generally well known over the last decades, with three dopamine (DA) receptor agonists having been approved for the first-line treatment of RLS in most developed countries. The approval of these three drugs by the regulatory agencies was based on placebo-controlled studies, which showed therapeutic efficacy over the short-term with relatively minor toxicity [1].

Response to “Prospective memory impairment in idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder.”
iRBD is thought to be an intermediate state between normal and PD as the prodromal stage of synucleinopathy. We tried to observe the tendency for prospective memory (PM) impairments among three states. Although PD patients have been found to perform worse on PM tasks, there were different conclusions, which perhaps contribute to different PM methods. CAMPROMPT is a valid and reliable measure in clinical settings [1]; the Chinese version of CAMPROMPT whose reliability and validity have been established [2], has also been used in evaluating schizophrenia [3].

Evidence of Actigraphic and Subjective Sleep Disruption Following Mild Traumatic Brain Injury
Mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBI) are frequently associated with long-term, self-reported sleep disruption. Objective corroboration of these self-reports is sparse and limited by small sample sizes. The purpose of this study was to report on actigraphically-measured sleep outcomes in individuals with and without a history of recent mTBI in two U.S. cities (Boston, MA and Tucson, AZ).

Slow Wave Sleep and Steroid Hormones
Since Jouvet and Dement ’s pioneering work in the 1950’-60’s, we know that sleep is not a single, inactive state but rather a complex, structured duality between rapid eye movement (REM) sleep and non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep [1, 2]. Using total, selective, acute and chronic sleep deprivation, the functional r ole of each sleep stage has been studied for decades. (Source: Sleep Medicine)
