Narcolepsy type 1 is a central disorder of hypersomnolence characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness, rapid eye movement sleep-related manifestations, and cataplexy. In the current literature there is general agreement regarding...


Conclusions: We hypothesize that narcoleptic patients may present an alteration in a more complex socio-cognitive ability that is related to emotional processing, namely Theory of Mind. This review aims to investigate the literature supporting this hypothesis and to propose possible future developments on this topic.

OBJECTIVE. To examine sleep patterns in adults with maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY).RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS. Adults with glucokinase (GCK)-MODY

Persistent hypersomnia following repetitive mild experimental traumatic brain injury: Roles of chronic stress and sex differences - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36624699/

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is often more complicated than a single head injury. An extreme example of this point may be military service members who experience a spectrum of exposures...


Conclusions: These results identify prolonged stress and sex differences as important considerations for sleep–wake dysfunction. Furthermore, this reproducible hypersomnia with impaired wakefulness is similar to the excessive daytime sleepiness reported in patients, including patients with TBI, which warrants further clinical screening, care,...

Cannabis use and sleep quality in daily life: An electronic daily diary study of adults starting cannabis for health concerns

Source : https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0376871622004975?via=ihub

Real world patterns of cannabis use for health concerns are highly variable and rarely overseen by a physician. Pragmatic effectiveness studies with electronic daily diaries that capture person-specific patterns of...


Conclusions: Cannabis use is associated with same day improvements in self-reported sleep quality, but not pain or depressive symptoms, although sleep improvements occurred in the context of increased frequency of cannabis use, raising the risk for cannabis use disorder. Daily web-based assessments of cannabis appear valid and feasible in...
