Garrivet J, d'Ortho M-P, Frija-Masson J, et al. "Too much heat for my non-24-hour sleep-wake disorder!" A case report. J Clin Sleep Med . 2024;20(2):329-333.
This case highlights the significance of the endogenous biologic clock and challenges in entraining a longer circadian period. By preventing the evening body temperature drop, heatwaves may exacerbate non–24-hour sleep-wake disorder, favoring the inherent shift in bedtime and impeding the implementation of morning arousal treatments.
The Lighter Touch: Less-Restriction in Sequentially Implemented Behavioral Sleep Interventions for Children With Rare Genetic Neurodevelopmental Conditions

Less restrictive function-based behavioral strategies are an effective, and in some cases sufficient, contribution to a sequence of interventions for a range of sleep difficulties. They should be implemented first,...
Many of the participants in this study had co-occurring conditions and periods of illness during intervention but still achieved positive results, suggesting medical complexity need not be a deterrent in treating sleep disturbance.
Exploring the Molecular Pathways Linking Sleep Phenotypes and POGZ-Associated Neurodevelopmental Disorder

Pogo transposable element-derived protein with ZNF domain ( POGZ ) gene encodes a chromatin regulator and rare variants on this gene have been associated with a broad spectrum of neurodevelopmental...
This study may represent the beginning for novel functional investigations on shared molecular mechanisms between sleep disturbances and rare developmental syndromes related to POGZ and its regulatory targets.
Associations of Sleep Disorders With All-Cause and Cause-Specific Mortality in Cancer Survivors: a Cross-Sectional Analysis of the NHANES 2005-2016

The circadian clock and endoplasmic reticulum stress signaling play important roles in oncogenesis and development of cancer. Sleep disorders have been linked to an elevated risk of mortality in general...
This study indicated that sleep disorders were associated with a higher risk of all-cause mortality, cancer mortality, and CVD mortality, as well as long-term mortality in patients with cancer.
Physical Activity, Sleeping Problems, Weight, Feelings of Social Isolation, and Quality of Life of Older Adults After Coronavirus Infection: a Longitudinal Cohort Study
Source : https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10826922/
There is debate as to whether a coronavirus infection (SARS-CoV-2) affects older adults' physical activity, sleeping problems, weight, feelings of social isolation, and quality of life (QoL). We investigated differences...
Differences in physical activity were still present at 90 days following infection and sleeping problems were present at 180 days.
