Can't Sleep? Now There's A Coach For That.
First came diet coaches, exercise coaches, career coaches and spiritual and life coaches. There should be no surprise that as the population ages and increasingly has trouble staying asleep that the next step would be sleep coaches.
Insomnia is the most common sleep problem for adults, and has been linked to depression, falls, stroke and memory problems. Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia, or CBTI, is considered a highly effective method for treating the disorder, but many do not receive it due to a lack of therapists with CBTI training, according to a paper published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Socie...

Role of sleep-disordered breathing and sleep-wake disturbances for stroke and stroke recovery

SDB and SWD increase the risk of stroke in the general population and affect short- and long-term stroke recovery and outcome. Current knowledge supports the systematic implementation of clinical procedures for the diagnosis and treatment of poststroke SDB and SWD on stroke units.

Prevalence and consequences of insomnia in pediatric population.
Authors: Kaczor M, Skalski M
Abstract
Insomnia presents an increasing and significant health issue in paediatric population. As the problem had grown over past decade, it became recognised by the specialists dealing with children and adolescents. In a recent study American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry members were asked about their experience with patients complaining about sleep disturbances. Doctors reported that sleep was a problem for 1/3 of their patients out of which 1/4 required pharmacotherapy [1]. Multiple studies concerning adults confirmed significance of healthy sleep in optimal cognitive,...

Patient Engagement in Randomized Controlled Clinical Trials with Tai Chi Intervention.
CONCLUSION: Considering that the purpose of Tai Chi practice is to integrate and balance all aspects of a patient's life, we hope to use Tai Chi intervention as an example to illustrate patient engagement process. However, we found that patient engagement, as a concept, was not well defined. It covers a wide range of related terms, such as patient involvement, participation, shared decision-making, patient activation, adherence, compliance, and self-management. Novel research design may explore ways to measure patient engagement in such complex interventions to help identify its specific role on health.

Why Every Woman Needs A Good Night's Rest
When I began writing in this spot three years ago, the headline of my very first entry was, "Getting Enough Sleep Is Smart, Not Selfish."
That post went up at a time when Americans were beginning to focus more on a good night's rest. The subject came into a sharper focus, in part, because wearable technology gave us some specifics. Forget the anecdotal evidence of whether we slept well; with the touch of a button, we could know what time we fell asleep, how long we were out and how often our sleep was interrupted.
The study of sleep -- and conversations around it -- began gaining traction. Among those paying keen attenti...

Silent Cerebral Small Vessel Disease in Restless Legs Syndrome
Conclusion:RLS duration should be taken into account when analyzing the association between RLS and cerebrovascular disease; our data support the hypothesis that a long-lasting RLS and its accompanying periodic limb movements in sleep are a risk factor for silent SVD and perhaps for the development of clinical stroke.Citation:Ferri R, Cosentino FI, Moussouttas M, Lanuzza B, Aricò D, Bagai K, Wang L, McLaughlin B, Walters AS. Silent cerebral small vessel disease in restless legs syndrome. SLEEP 2016;39(7):1371–1377.

Get Rid of Your Depression By Boosting Serotonin Levels
I’m not interested in lengthening your lifespan. I want to increase your “health span”… the length of time you feel energized and ready to take on the world.
And an important part of your “health span” is your emotional well-being.
The brain chemical serotonin plays a big part in keeping you emotionally balanced. That’s why it’s called the “happy hormone.”
What Does Serotonin Levels Affect?
Serotonin does a lot more than keep you in a good mood. Your serotonin levels affect your:
Energy levels
Sex drive
Memory
Weight and appetite
Sleep
Low Serotonin Levels Can Cause Depression
It’s ...

10 Experiments at the Forefront of Sleep Science
As part of the team at Experiment.com, a crowdfunding platform for science, I get to talk to scientists all the time. I've been an insomniac and poor sleeper all my life, so I decided to run a Sleep Challenge Grant to launch a batch of sleep experiments together on the site.
Here's what I'm learning from 10 scientists at the forefront of sleep research:
Men who go to sleep late have more sex.
"Evening men," who naturally wake up later and go to sleep later, tend to have higher mating success but lower success in social settings like school or business. Dr. Christoph Randler wants to investigate whether there are clues fo...

Decrease the Symptoms of Sleep Apnea
by Phil Hardesty
New research is showing that exercise not only helps the quality of our sleep, but it can improve conditions such as obstructive sleep apnea, or OSA.
What is OSA?
Obstructive sleep apnea is a condition where a person's breathing frequently pauses during sleep. One of the most noticeable sign of OSA is snoring. Other signs and symptoms of OSA are:
Excessive daytime fatigue and sleepiness
Observed episodes of breathing cessation during sleep
Abrupt awakenings accompanied by shortness of breath
Awakening with a dry mouth or sore throat
Awakening with chest pain
Sudden waking with gasping for breath
Mornin...

Insomnia is associated with risk of future cardiovascular events irrespective of comorbidities
Commentary on: Hsu CY, Chen YT, Chen MH, et al.. The association between insomnia and increased future cardiovascular events: a nationwide population-based study. Psychosom Med 2015;77:743–51. Context Increasing evidence suggests a relatively strong association between insomnia and risk of future cardiovascular events. However, the exact nature of this association is poorly understood and causality remains uncertain due to methodological limitations in prior literature. An important methodological shortcoming was the inadequate consideration of comorbidities in several previous studies. Insomnia symptoms clearly over...

Are broken bones, loneliness and poor sleep really hidden killers?
Conclusion
As the researchers say, the WHO definition of health encompasses physical, mental and social wellbeing – not just the presence or absence of disease.
But how often are these extra dimensions taken into account when assessing a person's health status?
In this sample of older adults, just looking at their disease status puts the majority of them into an apparently "robust" health group.
Yet when you consider the additional dimensions of psychological health and wellbeing, you seem to get a much better indication of those who were at higher or lower risk of dying or being incapacitated in the coming...

Association of post stroke depression with social factors, insomnia, and neurological status in Chinese elderly population
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the association of post stroke depression (PSD) with social factors, insomnia, and neurological status among elderly Chinese patients with ischemic stroke. Six hundred and eight patients over 60 years of age, who had suffered from a first episode of ischemic stroke within 7 days, were enrolled into the study. They were divided into PSD and non-PSD groups according to the Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) scores. The association of PSD with social factors, insomnia, and neurological status was analyzed using multivariable logistic regression analysis. Compare...
